Does what we post elicit light
Or just a catalyst to fight
In loving way express our views
Or angry platform what we choose

A forum for healthy debate
Or our own angst disseminate 
Are our posts instruments of peace
Or place frustrations are released

It seems that it is way past time
To reflect what we post online
For what we send, we give a voice
And is all a matter of choice 

Seems what we post we may become
When all of it is said and done
Or posting simply plays a part
Of what's already in our heart

If all we send are angry posts
Then anger's what we feel the most
Even if outrage try to hedge
Can set the reader's teeth on edge

Likewise, if posts are uplifting
A little sunshine they may bring
Some levity, some merriment
Even words of encouragement 

The sender and receiver both
Choose whether they engage in posts
Each bears responsibility 
For what they choose to send or see

May I speak lovingly, my friend
Be cognizant of all you send
What you repost, or yourself say
Can carry influence; can sway

And while that's part of posting's " charm"
Use caution, first to do no harm
Before you send the things you do
Take stock of what motivates you

To stir things up, even incite
Or be a source of joy and light
Bring world together; drive apart
Reflection of the Father's heart

Free to say all you want to say
And do it any time or way
But, what this fallen world needs most
Is love inside of every post

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...
