241219 Time For Love

 Time For Love

How love is spelled, it seems to me
Is with the letters
T-I-M-E
"I love you" is quite nice when heard
But, it is so much more than words

If you want genuine love to grow
Time is required to make it so
For without an investment of
How do they know you truly love

So many ways to show love's real
Making amends or home-cooked meal
Help 'round the house without reminder
Investing effort to be kinder

Make plans to be with one another 
Taking the time to call your mother 
Why, even giving a quick hug
Done with intention shows your love

For things we love, we'll make the time
May even invest our last dime
Our hobbies, pastimes, a good read
Things that we care about  we feed

Thus, how much more deserving of
Our time are those we say we love
For they should take priority 
Not be dismissed too casually

Gift of our time's the antidote
When love feels distant or remote
For when we love by what we do
That love finds a way back to you

The joy of love is so sublime
Made by the Creator of time
We love because he loved us first
And through him, all love is dispersed

We've all the same hours per day
Take time to live  love every way
None knows when their time will run out
And isn't love what life's about

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...
