Mother’s love directs the child
To become gentle and mild,
Not making him queer and wild.

Gives good mood
removes stress
eradicates worries
injects confusion
fakes courage
directs footsteps
grabs the eyes
captures the tongue
plants intelligence
and chops wisdom
then people become
creatures on landscape...

The TIME 
only the time 
worn-tattered-photograph; 

a portrait 
directs the rushing caravan 
through the foggy wind, 
through the smog 

the TIME 
after all the residual 
at the own womb

Your answer, my friend, directs your day
   Say you're 'fine;' things go your way

Tell me you're down or 'not-so-hot'
   Chances are, your day's about shot

Try two magic words, 'Never better!'
   And reach for the gold ~ go-getter...

It is for you, he said; I do this thing;
while knowing in his heart that this was false.
The underlying selfishness of self
is what directs his compass, always has.
Which, as we know, is not always moral,
true, or honest to himself or others....

With God We Are Rowing

When with God we are always rowing,
Faith in Him is growing and growing;
Much kelp;
Need help;
Maintain course when wind is blowing.

Jim Horn

Kelp slows down and re-directs boat.
Nice knowing that we have God's help....

Peace like a river flows
passing understanding
Prevailing in a world 
plunged in sin and turmoil
Possible coz of faith
Prayer directs the way
Promise of God fulfilled.

When a man ways please the Lord
He continues to make his enemies
be at peace with him! He knows the way and a stranger he will not follow!
A man's heart deviseth many test  But the Lord directs his steps
The path is already  known  And some say planned in advance...

When hopes begin to crumble,
it's high time to be humble.
This virus, Mr. President, now directs your fate.
Recognize this simple truth before it is too late,
and should it grant you vigor to complete whatever task,
before you set about it, please, please, put on a mask....

Sol's
gilded
chariot 
slowly ascends
over fields of worshiping sunflowers
in a sky of burnt almond and orange
as morning light
directs their 
loving
gaze

Carolina blue
directs singing bluebell choir
bringing crescendo
orchestrated with gold leaves
grown in field with blueberries

golden rod stands firm
long stems waving in the wind
giving allegiance
to the Carolina blue
blueberries march in review

God is in everything I see
From dawning to sundown
He is the one who created the beauty
What lies on all sides of the round
He directs all from heaven's felicity
The whole lot, every bit of whatever
Each and every matter you see
The luminance of God the Father
For his light shines, in its entirety...

More humans are needed, to have a good economy
so the powerful have seeded, that of a root, to be greeded

The greed of money, directs everyone forward
to have your taste of honey, so you don’t, look backward

Back to Mother Nature, is the only way, for our future
Get rid of this obnoxious weed, that makes us all have, a need of greed...

God love did resurrect
His people chose to forgive
God heart shall always live
Through every spoken word
We shall see God heard
Mary moment did inspect
Her son Jesus who directs
He came to elect
His unity of respect
This moment was ours
He wrote among the stars
His voice of his herd
He now summons towards
Those who he did reach
Through this glory he beseeched...

Not quitting
Just a stop to turn right
Please don’t get staked with indecision
Little or no wasted time makes you a winner
Losers at point, quit
Confusion and Blurring is, but
Conviction and Beaming directs
Take a breath with a stop
For the right-turn, not
Death with a quit
Am at Crossroads
Parting ways to destination, ‘Dream’
Here I come from,
the Crossroads

The poet sits
At the lower table
While his wife
Addresses the group.
Suddenly, she directs
Her remarks to him,
Spitting out words like
Bullets, wounding his
Spirit and his pride.
He quickly rises
To leave the room,
Dropping his poetry
Notes to the floor,
Upon reaching the
Foyer, realizes his
Marriage is over--
Just like that.

Divinely
driven,
dear faith* of mine…
depends
definitely on the LORD Who
directs and
distinctively upholds stance as my spirit 
drawn nigh to Christ is…
determined
decisive and
desirous as well
delighted to
do God’s will
despite 
difficulties
distress and
despair.

*Mark 10:52 And Jesus said…, Go thy way; thy faith hath made thee whole.

Sweet tooth calling, kitchen beckons to me
Decisions, decisions, what should I make
Pies, cookies, pudding , all good possibilities
They sound swell, but I choose chocolate cake

Checking for ingredients, I have them all
Chocolate, eggs, baking powder, salt and flour
Mix them together as the recipe directs
Patience! patience, should be ready in an hour


For the Comma Fun contest......
