250407 Indecision

 Indecision

When to move forward 
And when to hold back
Yes, when to retreat 
And when to attack

How do you know
What is wrong, what is right 
When is it wiser
To flee than to fight

When is it you trust
In your own inner voice
And when is another's
Advice the right choice

When is it better
To come; when to go
Is there any possible 
Way one can know

How can you discern 
If you've chosen right path
Will it all be unclear
Till folly's aftermath 

Can confusion and doubt
Feel like walls of a prison 
A jail that's constructed 
By own indecision 

Yet, if you let emotions 
You feel take the lead
Then, more measured thinking 
You tend not to heed

So, how do you know
The next step you should take 
Will it be the right choice 
Or end up a mistake

Doubts, indecision 
You need them reversed 
The answers are found 
When you seek the Lord first

Give it all to God
And then step out in faith
For even if some
Wrong decisions you make

He'll be right there with you
Held safe in his hands
And lead you back gently 
To his perfect plans

So, in this crazy world
With each road that you take
To have faith and trust God's 
Best decision to make

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...
