250128 A Good Day

A Good Day

My bills are piling to the sky
But have what's needed to get by
So, today is a good day 

All of this noise can drive me wild
Yet, noise's the lifeblood of each child
Thus, today is a good day 

Responsibilities are huge
God gives me all his strength to use
Yes, today is a good day

Am aching from my feet to head
But, I can still get out of bed
See, today is a good day 

My pantry shelves are kinda bare
There's tuna, pasta, soup in there
So, today is a good day 

Where can my reading glasses be
Yet, thank the Lord that I still see
See, it is a good day

Heater's not working anymore 
Have blankets and sweaters galore
Thus, today is a good day 

The sink faucet has sprung a leak
Yet, don't haul water from a creek
So, today is a good day 

All of my friends have burdens too
So, God has taught me what to do
Pray for their good day

The whole world is in need of peace
Yet, I can do my part, at least
Bring others a good day 

The kind of day you have's a choice 
For if you give complaining, voice
Then, every day God's given you
Will feel like something to get through


Each day is what you make of it
To view as curse or as God's gift
To see as good, each breaking dawn
Depends what you focus upon

So look for good in every hour
Positive outlook holds great power
Each one's God's blessing, if seen that way
Then every day becomes good day

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...
