241115 Fountain of Youth

 Fountain of Youth

Oh, isn't it so sad to see
Our search for immortality
I don't mean of the spiritual kind
But fount of youth we seek to find

Each wrinkle, how we try to hide
The creams and lotions we have tried
If teeth would just be pearly white
I know that life would be alright 

Perhaps if bald spot wasn't there
Or did not have so much grey hair
Just maybe if my nose was small
Then I would think I had it all

So when can't face reality
Resort to plastic surgery
Remove crow's feet or plump up lips
Get liposuction on my hips 

It's really not grey hairs we hide
But with ourselves, not satisfied
If I just get a tummy tuck
I know things will start looking up

For when you strive for perfect face
Your looks, not God, then take first place 
You need not look like movie star
For Father loves you as you are

He cares not for chiseled physique 
But only that it's him you seek
He doesn't ask, are wrinkles few
Instead, he sees the heart of you

Nor cares if you are grey or bald
You're His creation after all
For God won't see as the world does
He sees you through the eyes of love

When next in front of mirror, be
Let it reflect what God does see
The masterpiece that he did make
Made as designed; that's no mistake 

True beauty isn't just skin deep
From lotions or from beauty sleep
It's how you act and what you do
And from a heart that's kind and true

Reflect God's love in how you think
Will seem like fount of youth did drink
With youthful glow you cannot hide
Because you'll shine from the inside

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...
