PAULIE'S POEMS - PMG

For Jack Dear loved ones, if you're inclined that way I'm asking for your prayers today For my grandson that I hold dear To give him strength and calm all fear To help him fully understand  That his young life is in God's hands And thus he has no thing to fear For God's his hope and always near   Please also pray for doctors, wise Give divine wisdom toward Jack's eyes Show them the path that they should take I ask this all for Jackson's sake All this, please pray, but one thing more Pray also for a miracle cure Restore eyes to health, perfectly As they were intended to be For that's something you, God, can do And what I'm boldly praying too To God all glory, we proclaim We pray all this in Jesus' name Ephesians 3:20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us Philippians 4:19

Strongholds Has Satan got a hold on you Controlling what you say or do Do worries keep you up at night And every day feels like a fight Keep doing things you know are wrong You want to stop, but aren't that strong  The devil knows right where you're weak So, in your ears, his lies will speak  "You'll never change. "This sin's okay." "God won't forgive. " " Have your own way." Then soon you find bad ways take hold And meeker actions become bold Soon harmful thoughts will so repeat  That best attempts end in defeat  Next, lies become the truth you hear "The Father's wrath is what's to fear." So, no way out is in your sight  It's not yourself that you must fight For blood and flesh are not what's wrong  A spiritual battle all along We must attack things at the source For any hope to change our course See, holy weapons win this war And bring defeat to Satan's door So, give the battle to the One It's in...

Lost It! I lost it! Can't find it anywhere  My panic has turned to despair  I've searched and searched; it can't be found I've turned this whole place upside-down  I know I had it yesterday  Used it and then put it away Today, I'm panicking because It isn't where I thought it was Retraced my steps; looked high and low Now, where on earth did that thing go? I really need it; need it now I'm close to throwing in the towel But I know that I cannot quit For I have such great need of it Can't be replaced with something else Can't buy another with great wealth For it's unique,  one of a kind The thing I'm looking for's my mind! See, I lost it while in a rage When stress kept building days and days Then, could not take it anymore  So lost it, then ran out the door Yet, when my tantrum reached an end Decided I needed it again Found losing it came with great ease Finding it again was not a breeze The thing is, when you lose your mind Then, often t...

Show Love To say, " I love you" is very nice Can say those words yet not think twice If you want them to really know It's in your actions it will show For loving someone's more than words To think otherwise is just absurd  If don't behave in loving way It matters not what words you say Yes, words can be so insincere But actions speak out loud and clear Don't have to put on big displays Love can be shown in subtle ways A wink of eye, a tender smile  Just sitting nearby for awhile A gentle touch, a listening ear All signs that you hold someone dear So, if you're truly loving kind It won't just stay within your mind For it will search for place to go To plant itself and then to grow So as you start another day  Decide how you'll give love away Of course, it happens naturally  For today, do it intentionally  Pick up the phone and call a friend To say that you're thinking of them Give loved one's hugs, strangers a smile You'll find it very w...

Unforgiveness I thought I had forgiven you That all past hurt and pain were through  Yet, anger's come to take the place Of memories I can't erase I've tried to put it all behind Make my emotions fall in line Instead, they just relive the past And calm and peace don't ever last The hatchet, it seems, won't stay buried  The reasons are complex and varied Perhaps forgiveness would be true If received apology from you  I pray for that both day and night  Part of me knows that isn't right To think my peace hinges on you And what you do or do not do For even if admit your wrong Apologize? Your not that strong Apparently, I'm not strong either  We both avoid dramatic theater To think it all will go away If " I'm sorry," you'd just say Is really quite naive at best Not how forgiveness is manifest Forgiveness's something I must do It's not dependent upon you I might wait an eternity  For a proper apology  Or it might never come at all For t...
