250320 Spring

 Spring

Oh, how I love first day of Spring
The daffodils and robin's wing 
The fluffy clouds, the sweet primrose
Smell of cut grass within my nose

The sounds of Spring give me such thrill
A chirping wren, the "whippoorwill"
Sweet sound of rain and buzz of bees
The whispers of a gentle breeze

I truly love how Spring does feel
When in the garden soil I kneel
Toes in green grass, warm sun on face
Stirs feelings of our Father's grace

Spring's floral dress, I most adore
Instead of gray one, Winter wore
Green fabric trimmed in Queen Ann's lace
With rainbow ribbon 'round her waist

Spring thrills me in a deeper way
With God's full glory on display
Each nesting bird and blooming tree
Reminds me of Lord's majesty 

For in this season of rebirth
I praise Creator of the earth
The maker of such finery
To please and show his love for me

With all Spring's growing that I see
It seems to birth new growth in me
For as sun warms up winter's chill
I seek things only He can fill

The buzzing of the busy bee
Says, do God's work most diligently
A cardinal sitting on her nest
Reminds me I should stop and rest

The humming of the hummingbirds 
Says, sing praise though forgot the words
The burst of nature all around
Call, "Stroll and see where peace is found"

The whispers of Spring's gentle breeze
Is Holy Spirit calling me
Reminded watching migrant birds
My eyes should e'er be heavenwards

Though Spring brings storms and blustery winds
They're part of how new life begins
So, I'll rejoice when Spring storms brew
For they're part of my new growth, too

The Father in divine wisdom
Brings Spring to melt the Winter's glum
And sprout new hope in weary soul
To bloom with joy aft' Winter's cold

We thank you, Lord, for seasons new
Each one a blessing straight from you
Your praises we most joyously sing
Today, on this first day of Spring

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...

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...

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...
