250604 Broken Trust

 Broken Trust


Relationship has turned to dust
For one betrayed another's trust
Trust given freely at the start
Has ended with a broken heart 

Relation's fabric it did tear
Once trust is lost, hard to repair
For even if stitched back together 
Scars linger long - maybe forever

Trust given - a most precious gift 
Be careful how you handle it 
For trust you see in someone's eyes
Can be destroyed with smallest lies

Capacity in all of us
To betray one another's trust
To act without integrity 
Thus shown to be untrustworthy 

If that's true, there's no guarantee 
I can trust you; you can trust me
Then, why should trust ever be given
To anyone but God in heaven

It's easy to go down that path
In trust's betrayal aftermath 
To choose to not have faith again
In those to whom cannot depend

And while you can trust God above
His truth, his kindness, faithful love
Trust people - that's another thing
When you have felt betrayal's sting

That's the message Satan will send
There's no way broken trust can mend
Harden your heart; don't even try
But, do not trust the devil's lies

Let Word of God, devil's impede
For trust's a thing that we all need
A fact of which there's no debate
Without it, we'll self- isolate

Or seek revenge for the mistrust
So, give it to the Lord who's just
Regaining trust - God's where you start
When seek him he'll soften your heart

Forgiveness is also a must
So pray for those who broke your trust
Then God will repair hurt and pain
So sense of trust you can regain

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...
