250106 Look Around

 Look Around

My God is everywhere I look
In every cranny, every nook
I simply must have eyes to see
What's always been in front of me

Just merely have to look around 
To see I stand on holy ground
Each flower petal, bluebird wing
Creator's hand in everything 

With opened eyes, I clearly see
Evidence of Father's majesty
Intricate wings of dragonflies
God's miracles before my eyes

Each rugged mountain,  sandy shore
The mysteries of the ocean floor
The vastness of the galaxies
Or changing of the autumn leaves

Not just in nature but human kind
The fingerprints of the divine
Dexterity within my hand
To do all work that God has planned

The wonder of the human eye
To see, to sparkle, and to cry
Conveys emotions so clearly
Miraculous in complexity

The heart that beats within my chest
So strong it never stops to rest
While I'm asleep or wide awake
Although fragile enough to break

My lungs that fill my chest up too
Each inhale, exhale - gift from You
An infant cries with its first breath
We cry when last one signals death

Yet, every one breathed in between 
Is numbered by a God unseen
While I can't see Him, I have found
He's everywhere I look around

So, look around and see Him, too
For He is clearly in plain view
Divine c
Creator of all you see
Each imprinted with 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...
