A tea bag in the ocean
A tea bag in the ocean,
small, fragile, trembling in vastness,
its string a whisper,
its paper skin thin against the tide.
It carries a world of fragrance within,
spices and leaves gathered from distant hills,
yet when cast into infinity
its essence bleeds gently, unseen,
lost to the salt and surge.
The ocean does not change—
its roar unmoved, its deep unshaken—
but the tea

Psalm 25:1 The Valley of Desolation
In the Valley of Desolation all seemed lost.
Denying self and following Christ has great cost.
He had a plan before He created the world;
His plan complete before the universe unfurled.
His ageless will was He would become fully man
And save His chosen ones through His eternal plan.
Ever, ever will He save those trusting in him.
Never, never will

Soiled soul salvation
Soiled soul salvation

can these bent bones of endless sin
fit through the eye of a needle and

Heaven is where the

when their finished bottom feeding
from this poison fishbowl
so, I've read -so I'm told.
What we have in common
is that everyone wants to know
if there's life after this life

Salvation
God’s gift of salvation is for everyone,
His death on the cross was payment for our sin.
For sin He gave His only begotten son,
when we confess they’re not remembered again.
Our acceptance is the only thing required,
but all too many fail to understand.
We must confess before our life has expired,
Or we'll surely not enter at

Stones
What is the stone for, Jacob?
Surely the Lord is in this place,
But I did not realize it!
I saw His stairway in my dream,
This is the Gate of Heaven!
I will set this stone as sacred,
And pour oil on top of it!
It is Bethel, the House of God,
And the Lord will become my God!
Why these stone

glowing quietly, flowing to the heart, telling the story
in a silent glimpse…

Able
There was a time
When my faith was unshakeable
The Lord proved
That I was remakeable
His love for me
Was simply not mistakeable
The Holy Spirit’s strength
Was totally unbreakable
For forsaking me
He was incapable
His call on my life
Was just so inescapable
But I went rogue
And became insatiable
I thought His love
Would just be replaceable
In the world I could hide
And then become untraceable
Write my

Nothing But the Cross
Nowhere can I turn for help but to you

Heal my broken heart.
In You and You alone am I safe and
Nothing can harm my soul. You
Gave all through your son Jesus so my sins can be
Buried at the foot of the cross. I can be
Undisciplined

Writing to Jesus
I take my pen, hesitant to write
poetries, moments so tender, alive
like the music that choruses
through my spirit, in inklings of light
breathless verses, visions
coloring pages with what survives
my last 60 years,
the days when I knew, beyond
stirrings of hope, inspirations
notes of serenity – faded
feelings, blessings
remembering what it means to be
part of something much bigger than

VE Day Eighty Years On
Exactly eighty years ago today
Came the valiant, victorious VE Day
We celebrate in commemoration
Of the day that brought each our salvation.
Amid the joy there is also sorrow
For those who never saw a tomorrow
They had bravely fought for each of our sakes
Staring dangerous missions in the face.
Let's join together

I Love You More
Day by day, hour by hour,
minute by minute,
I love You more
Can't stand the thought
Of all the times
The soldiers abused You
To settle the score
Jesus You are awesome
You're my hope and my salvation
One by one and two by two
You are the savior of the world that's true
