240910 Invisible

Invisible 

Can't see what is invisible
Yet, know that it is there
Like a breeze or humidity 
Unseen, though in the air

For still, we can perceive them
We feel sweaty on our skin
Despite being invisible 
Can see effects of wind

There's much that's deemed invisible 
Can't be seen by naked eye
Germs, viruses, bacteria 
Yet, can make you sick or die

And though I've never seen a germ
I know microscopes can
Even if invisible to me
I make sure to wash my hands

A spider web's invisible 
Until I walk right through it 
If you're arachniphobic 
I'd advise you not to do it

But with the help of morning dew
The web becomes quite clear
Masterpiece of its creator
Thing of beauty, not of fear

My nightstand is invisible 
Though it's still there, I know
For when I get up in the dark
I find it with my toe

Of course, it was there all along 
But in the dead of night
I simply couldn't see it
Until I turned on the light

And though God is invisible 
I'm certain he is there
For evidence that he exists
Is simply everywhere

Can feel him in the autumn breeze
Seen in fragile spider webs
His hand's in all of nature
Sense his power as sea tide ebbs

And in the dark of fallen world
He's the brightest light I know
Makes the righteous path visible
So we don't stub our toe

Yes, our God is quite visible
If we have eyes to see
One day we'll see him face to face 
In all his majesty

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...
