231019 "Sonny" Day

"Sonny" Day


The sun is shining warm and clear

It cuts through the cool breeze

The brightness makes me squint my eyes

And causes me to sneeze


A day that's filled with sunshine 

Seems to lighten loads I bear

I've a sunny disposition 

When the weather is this fair


Conversely, when the storm clouds come

Dark skies darken my mood

No longer have bright outlook

But, instead I tend to brood


How curious, subtracting light

Can impact me this way

Yet, when the sun hides behind clouds

Does it really go away?


It's still shining as always does

Something's just blocked my view

So I can't see or feel it

Thus, my countenance is blue


Sweet Jesus is the Son of Light

I see him the same way

If I just keep my eyes on him

It is a "Sonny" day


But, when storm clouds in life appear

My eyes cloud over, too

And I forget the Son's still there

Troubles obstruct my view


Perhaps should put "songlasses" on

Look at the Son clearly

To see his light and feel his warmth

Surround me lovingly 


For Christ is the light of the world

Calls me to be light, too

To spread a little "sonshine"

In each thing I say and do


To brighten up and warm a world

That can be dark and cold

For basking in a "Sonny" day's

A thing that won't grow old


John 8:12

Again, Jesus spoke to them, saying, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life."


Matthew 5:14

"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill can not be hidden."


John 1:5, 9:5

Psalm 18:28

Ephesians 5:8

Isaiah 60:1

240129 Feelings

Feelings Oh, those pesky feelings How they do get in the way I really don't feel like Doing anything today  I'm not really feeling it Is something I might say When adult responsibility  Is simply what's at play  I'll do that later on, perhaps When I feel in the mood And so put off important things  And not do things I should  My feelings can be fickle things One moment up; next down Can walk around with smiling face Which quickly turns to frown Too often, I give up control  To other's words and deeds Allowing feelings to be hurt And anger to proceed  And oh, how Satan loves to use Emotions that I feel To have me buy into his lies Believing they are real Then, acting on those feelings Oh, so quickly, without thought Bypassing close analysis  Not acting as I ought Of course, God gave us feelings We are not just some A.I. For suppressing all emotion  Is like living in a lie But balance between heart and mind Is how we hold the key To living with...

  Choose Joy Whenever there's a choice to make Let joy be path you choose to take When love and hate are on the scale Let love be one that does prevail When anger - patience doth compete And people we tend to mistreat It's said we sow in what we reap So, sow in patience- temper keep When circumstances bring you down And all you want to do is frown Choose happiness instead, my friend Then soon you'll see your sadness end I know it's easier said than done Often more battles devil's won But get back up and try some more  For after all, God's won the war Choose kindness 'stead of getting back Instead of shortness, practice tact With every godly choice you make The devil's grip begins to break With practice, then quite soon you'll see Good choices come more easily Thus, love and joy will conquer strife Becoming hallmark of your life

240125 Let Others Do It

Let Others Do It Don't really want to put self through it And so I'll just let others do it I'm certain it's too hard for me Sure others can more easily  Don't want to put the effort in Thus, wait for others to begin Not my responsibility  So, really don't depend on me No interest in taking the lead So, wait for others to proceed Though help is needed for a task Don't have the time, so please don't ask Need someone to sit on committee  Look anywhere, but don't look at me I have no interest in the least Besides, don't have the expertise  Ever notice when there's work to do It's often left to just a few The others somehow must be lead Or they'll just stand around instead Perhaps they are a lazy lot  That might be true, but it might not For certainly, there's those that shirk Responsibility and work For some, it's lack of confidence  So initiating makes them tense A fear that they may not succeed Disables them, so don't proce...
