Thanksgiving Poems

Oh, blessed Spring I have been waiting for you it seems forever,
Let me throw off this winter coat and put on my raincoat and galoshes;
I love your blue skies and even rain showers that clean the earth,
Delightful spring flowers are...Read More

My chair, 
at times over 
the past twelve weeks
my prison cell. 
Seven weeks more 
before my sentence
is completed. 
But today,
my chair is going to be
my time machine.

Not flashy and gaudy,
with a Christmas display
of flashing, colorful lights,
nor as threatening as that
celebrated...Read More

playful innocence
far from trappings of gifts and fanfare
Christmas will always be for family
for showing appreciation
of the closeknit everlasting bond
that wanting to be together
that warmth
the thoughtfulness
the jokes
the laughter
the hot meal
more like a feast
prepared with love
the anticipation
the joy
and
lasting memories

In front of impending disaster

He stood there

Right beside the operation theater

Watching his parents

Going mad with pain

A thousand thoughts were flowing in his mind

What would happen if his brother couldn’t survive

The doors get opened

What he feared the most just happened

His mother...Read More

Hearing your voice in my head lingers on
Fun times when we made lemon pound cake together
I could always confide in you, you made things better

Hello Tan, it’s me, Dad

Highlighting the Lord God’s omnipotence
Bible stories expose His miracles
along His mercy’s faithful persistence
smiting torturous hatred’s tentacles.

Greatly enthralled by biblical events
my special child yearns for their retelling
animatedly done, no one prevents
his call for these chronicles propelling:

Creation wonders hold his eyes spell...Read More

POETRY

Poetry says many things
Some of them very true
But poetry could ne'er express
The love God has for you.

The words existing in the world
Inadequately say
How faithfully He guides our feet
Along the narrow way.

Nor could our meager words express
His patience when we fail
Or...Read More

THE ZOMBIES ARE COMING

The Zombies are coming over for tea; they can smell a fresh kill
Now just who should we throw out; smelly gran or old man Will

To appease; those hungry Zombies, knocking at our front door
And; what will I...Read More

Beneath the city the river fishing is good.

I roam with tackle and pole below those wiggling tapeworms
Wound around the cement underbelly of bridges
Devouring the guts of the city’s glamour
Down here where shadows are long as green moss
And the voices of...Read More

My God is a alive and present He's ever PRESENT
These changing things 
He's changed me 
Allowed myself to make the right choices

See the birds in the trees
See His ever Beauty adorns me 
Those...Read More

Though absolutely insured because of family’s opulence
We can’t verily buy a bed guaranteed to give peace-prevalence.

Though our financial records show investment’s gain
Our health so stressed complains of physical pain.

Though we press toward heights of being prosperous
We may retrogress due to...Read More

Every beat of my grateful heart

A word of praise, my Lord, turns to be 

For to offer my Thanksgivings to life

But most of all, to glorify Thee!

Indeed, we gather as a church in joyful celebration
To magnify Him for His wondrous works, greatly triumphant.

We thank our God as His power we seek
Surely doing...Read More

Stone Spires

Stone cathedral spires rise
          Sharply
From freely flowing waters
 Birthing rebirth -
Lifting up unto the eternal
 A psalm
   A canticle
      To celebrate the seasons;

Stand still, 
LOOK. 
Flavours of blue mingle with peach puffs of cloud. 
These clouds ripple and melt across the sky in frothy waves. 
A crescent moon says good night to the milky way. 
Trees stand still, asleep in the absent...Read More

There's something in our hearts
praise
That just can't stop

and I am willing

To my Father God and my Lord Jesus
praise
there's something on my heart
praise
there's something in my mind and my mouth
praise
Hallelujah
Hallelujah praise

Praise Jehovah, the God and Father
Of our Lord Jesus Christ,
The God of all comfort

“He’ll progress to retrogression…”
lamentable diagnosis
grievous… torturous life sentence!
What a woeful condemnation...
...yet marvelous life’s persistence
my special child should never miss
while enjoying love’s wondrous bliss.

Though he’s epileptic
midst gestures obviously spastic
his disposition --- jubilant
radiates cheerfully triumphant.

With thanksgiving gesture’s delight
marking faith of ascending height

Applesauce Cake

Once again autumn’s jubilee of gold and umber leaves
Drifts on a lazy Sunday morning rain
Past kitchen windows
Where scents of coffee and frying bacon
Walk hand in hand
Then race each other up the stairs
To look for dreamers missed by the dawn
While...Read More
