240628 What Luck

 What Luck

A four leaf clover, pot of gold
Are lucky things, so I've been told
A lady bug, the number seven
Are said to bring riches from heaven

A cracked egg with a double yolk
Means luck to superstitious folk
A cricket or a horse's shoe
Are both said to bring luck to you

A necklace with a lucky charm
Can't possibly do any harm
A lucky penny,  rabbit's foot
Are these the things where trust is put?

We cross our fingers, knock on wood
All done to make sure luck is good
We put faith in all kinds of things
In hopes through them good fortune brings

They really seem harmless enough 
And mostly don't believe that stuff
Yet, sometimes superstitious lore
Makes you believe there's something more

Be careful you don't go too far
You can't see future in the stars
No amulet's your source of hope
Won't be found reading horoscope

Though sometimes you get lucky break
To trust in luck's a big mistake
While dumb luck can be known to tease
No fortune's found reading tea leaves

The Lord above and the Good Book
Are only places you should look
To see what will your future hold
Search there, not for a pot of gold

Not found in crystals, lucky charms
But in the safety of God's arms
No tarot card or ouija board
Will lead you to the risen Lord

It happens as a conscious choice
When faith and trust are given voice
For when you live your life that way
Each day will feel like luckiest day!

240606 The Word You Use

 T he Words You Use Be careful 'bout the words you use For words can injure; words can bruise Be careful 'bout the things you say For hurtful words, one's soul can slay It's not just words you use, but tone For tone has meaning all its own And if you've raised a teenage child You know their tone's what drives you wild The words you use carry such weight To express love or start debate For kind words can be source of life But biting words breed only strife A loving word makes someone's day Like honey, are kind words you say Yet, angry words, spoken in haste Will only leave a bitter taste  Don't know 'bout you, but I feel bad If speak unkind because I'm mad And though I'm sorry in the end Know they can't be unheard again Repaired relations come with price Won't have to pay if just talked nice The damage is already done  Though the word battle you have won The Word says tongue's a two edged sword  And words once said can't be ign...

231110 How Did I Get Here?

How Did I Get Here? How did I get here? I don't know Seemed sometimes fast, other times slow Though, does not matter what the pace Still wonder how came to this place How did I reach this point in time? Reality of it's so sublime For most of journey was uphill Through hard fought land, yet, I'm here still How did I get from there to here? In baby steps year after year? Know sometimes how I reached this place Was through tremendous leaps of faith But, other times, through missteps went To places that I never meant Through valleys deep or forests dark Through turbulent waters full of shark Yet, oh, so many times I've found That when I stop to look around  The sun is shining on my face And I am in a lovely place A place with lush, green, rolling hills With irises and daffodils  A place of rest, peace, and beauty  Exactly where I want to be I've found as I trek on my way Sometimes have both in the same day Day can begin as walk in park Then suddenly turn very dark Or st...

241210 'Tis the Season

  'Tis the Season  'Tis the season to be jolly With mistletoe, pine boughs, and holly Yet, what if jolly's not your mood  But melancholy, you exude What if the carols in the air Remind you of someone not there Or crackling fire's bright light and heat Can't chase the cold of empty seat What if season's not full of thrills But full of lack and unpaid bills Though sugarplums fill your kid's head You know they'll get little instead  Perhaps in place of peace, good will You have a loved one very ill So thoughts don't turn to season's din But doctors visits, medicines While others have house full of guests All you have though is loneliness  The kids have grown and moved away So it's not the same holiday How blessed if season's joyous one But it is not for everyone  For most December brings good cheer For some, it's hardest time of year Whatever circumstance you claim The Christmas message's still the same That hope came through a baby...
