250210 The Road You Travel

 The Road You Travel

Every life's a journey 
Each one travels their own road
Sometimes, the trek is one of ease
Other times, carry a load

May feel like endless traffic jam
Frustrating and slow going 
Causing drivers to lose their cool
And car horns to start blowing

While other times, the open road
Extends for miles and miles
The journey's such a pleasant one
Brings laughter and huge smiles

Some roads are clearly marked; well paved
Makes travel on them smooth
While others, in need of repair
Are rutted, bumpy, grooved

Some roads are downright dangerous 
Leading to nowhere good
'Tis wise to read the warning signs
And avoid them if you could

No matter how you're traveling 
Alone or with a friend 
At times, your path is clearly marked
Sometimes, hit a dead-end 

Though you can't always choose your road
Or your traveling partners, too
Your attitude while traveling 
Is entirely up to you

Can sing along with radio
While waiting traffic out
Or, though it won't make traffic go
Can choose to curse and shout

Can make the most of detours
Seeing sights you'd not planned to
Or whine about delays it caused
Though there's nothing you can do

Can yell out in frustration 
When get lost while homeward bound
Or calmly take it all in stride
Knowing home is always found

No matter what the journey
Or the road you travel on
You're never traveling alone
Your Father comes along 

So, as you travel road of life
It's wise for you to learn
To trust the journey to the Lord
Every bump, pothole, and turn

Know He will guide you safely
Though it's far or wide you roam
To your final destination 
Your heavenly home sweet home

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...

240821 Little Things

  Little Things  I got a pebble in my shoe Though was a tiny thing It caused a bruise upon my heel And oh, such pain did bring  Was walking on a windy day Got speck of sand in eye Was almost too small to be seen  But surely made me cry A dear one was upset with me Harsh words - said one or two The sting of then, hard to forget Though we began anew A little fib seems no big deal No harm in a white lie Till it becomes a habit And the fibs just multiply Ofttimes, it's just a little thing That can throw you off track Yet, all those small things added up Can break the camel's back  And sometimes little things grow big Creating quite a mess For most don't simply go away When they are not addressed  Pebble must be removed from shoe The sand washed out of eye Harsh words need an apology  The truth, replace a lie  The devil knows this principle  So that's how he begins Whispers to you his little lies Compromises lead to sins He gets you to take little...

240829 The Sound of Silence

  The Sound of Silence  Sometimes, our life's cacophony  Sounds nothing like a symphony  Instead, like clanging in our ear  Til sound of silence long to hear  To some, silence is what you dread  Because of troubles in your head  So fill up space with idle sound  In hopes the silence you can drown  Perhaps the silence's deafening  For loneliness's a common thing  So silence isn't heard by choice  Desperate to hear another's voice  Or silence might be what you crave For house is filled with little knaves  And noise level in your abode  Puts all your nerves on overload  In life, it's balance brings us peace  Silence and sound  - need both of these Our Savior modeled how to live So we should copy what he did Christ knew he'd have a noisy day Rose early just to get away  To have some quiet solitude  Before facing the multitude  So likewise, we need balancin' Of quiet and life's joyou...
