To be close to heaven, but not see.To see an angle, but not believe.To hear a message proclaimed but not hear.To walk with Jesus, but stay clear.To sing the Christmas carols but never know.To believe the message but still say no.How sad is this to know.That many are close but still for go.That many haveContinue reading “A GIFT NOT RECEIVED”

HUMBLE GREATNESS
What is this I’ve been given,That your love not be hidden?Each act of love to be on display.Even before the babe lain in the hay.How marvelous is the creation you made?That your faithfulness will never fade.You know each star by name.Even the star your arrival proclaimed.Your greatness is not brought low,Because you paid what IContinue reading “HUMBLE GREATNESS”
SEASONS OF MAN
In every season there is something to be said.In every season there is a word unread.Skipped over because it hurts,Or read over like it’s dessert.Some in seasons of hope,While others are choked by the rope.It’s the circle of life. Sharp as a knife.Rich as a chocolate cake.So much is at stake.In every chapter of a story,IsContinue reading “SEASONS OF MAN”
JUST ONCE
Is this the sacrifice I must make,To sacrifice myself for their sake?Can I be selfish just once?That my sake not be renounced? But no, a hero I must be,And treat myself unjustly.To lay myself low like he.While it chips away my psyche. Why must I do what’s right?Why can’t I leave the light?The story never ends.A friend’sContinue reading “JUST ONCE”
DARKNESS
Darkness has blinded my eyes. Hatred was welling up inside.Darkness has stumbled my steps.While bitterness slowly crept.How does one find the path?When covered in darkness’s wrath.They don’t, unless led by a lamp,To where the Lord may encamp.Where is your heart?Why did it depart?Was it swallowed up in darkness,Cut by evil’s sharpness?Let my heart abide.There will beContinue reading “DARKNESS”
PRIM AND PROPER PRINCESS
Prim and Proper Princess are the words they scoff.Leaving her to wonder if it’s wrong to be soft.She doesn’t want to be glared at,But she can feel her porcelain face crack.Why do we push porcelain dolls to be a G.I. Joe?Not everyone is putting on a show.Is it wrong for her to be sheltered?For someContinue reading “PRIM AND PROPER PRINCESS”
HUSH THE DRAGONS IN TOWN
Hush the dragons in town.Hush don’t make a sound.Smile those rosy cheeks.Hopefully no one knows whom he seeks.No, you can’t escape his talons.His grip is stronger than the lions.He lands upon your back,And you question what you lack.Townsfolk do just fine.They don’t understand why you fall behind.Never knowing the dragon’s grip,It should be an easyContinue reading “HUSH THE DRAGONS IN TOWN”
JUDGED BUT NOT CONDEMNED
Judged so that not condemned.Broken so that you can mend.To stumble but not fall,For the weak to stand tall.To be reminded what we need.To cause sin to flee.Is the reminder of a downfall.To remind us of our faults.To be drawn heaven ward,And to read His Word.Is redemptions correction.The predestined protection. For it is by grace,That aContinue reading “JUDGED BUT NOT CONDEMNED”
CHRISTIAN GRIEF
Grief shall enter a Christians’ home,But should not let the heart roam.Corruption of the heart starts in the mind.When one conforms to mankind.Let your sorrows be grieved,So that your soul may be relieved.But don’t let grief grow bitter,For doubt is a hard hitter.Unresolved grief makes the heart corrupt.Set sail to self destruct.Lament in order toContinue reading “CHRISTIAN GRIEF”
EZEKIEL 34
Woe to the shepherds,Their failure is on record. To let their flock become prey,And be filled with spiritual decay.Their wounds left unattended,Was open for the underhanded.The scattered were left out back.For you said devotion they lacked.A shepherd’s job is to search.But you sat up on your perch.And souls were starved of grace.All to show off aContinue reading “EZEKIEL 34”
