 More

In neverending quest for more
What are we truly looking for 
Is it just 'bout acquiring stuff
If so, then when's enough enough 

Does having more fulfill a need
Or is it just done out of greed
Is keeping up with Jones the goal
Or having more fill up some hole

Not just more stuff that we acquire
But more attention, we desire
To get more likes for things we post
Or better yet, to get the most

Or be a person of acclaim
Thrilled that more people know our name
To have more trophies in our case
And more who recognize our face

Perhaps our "more" takes form of thrills
Be it from bottle, danger, pills
If it pumps more adrenaline 
Then, no more thinking; we're all in

It's not more stuff, more thrills, or fame
For none of that's truly our aim
To be accepted as we are
Is what we're searching for, by far

Sincerely, what we need more of
Is not all this, but just more love
For all the other things we chase
Are things only love can replace

Yet, human love can fade away
Or those we love will die one day
Thus, we need more than human kind
Need precious love that is divine 

The kind that loves us perfectly 
And lasts through all eternity
Fulfillment of all we've searched for
The love of God through Christ is more

It fills the hole we have inside
Our needs and longings satisfied 
And what's more thrilling than world fame?
If Book of Life contains our name

Dear Lord, you love's more than enough 
More precious than fame, thrills, or stuff
Those things aren't needed anymore 
It's you, God, we were searching for

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...
