PAD 17 Dance

Do Over

If I could do it all again,

I’d dance more

and not worry about

looking so proper.

Sometimes joy

flows from the feet.

PAD 17 Dance

Dancing with the Stars

On a Caribbean cruise,

my daughter and I

danced with the stars.

We looked like two

of the three stooges,

but we had fun.

We had our picture taken

with Florence Henderson

before her star went out.

PAD 16 Blank System

Religious System

Religion is a systematic way

to approach God

like a vending machine.

You put the change in and hope

for the blessings to pop out.

Christianity is an adoption

into a wonderful family

that brings change and blessing.

Security System

My daughter has a security system

that makes me feel insecure.

I never can remember the number

or what buttons to push

and I don’t know if I can leave the house

without setting off the alarm

fetching and annoying police

and costing an extra fifty. 

PAD 16 blank system

System

S o you have a routine, So

Y ou have a procedure

S o you have a logic you can’t shake. Your

T echnique of living gets old. You

E xpect more in a day, but practice makes perfect. There is a

M ethod to this madness. Having a system makes sense.

PAD 15 One Time

One Time

One time

you slipped

a ring

on my finger

and I said

I will.

Once is enough. 

PAD 15 One Time

One Time

Jesus sat

at the right hand

of the Father.

Now believers

sit with Him

in heavenly places.

And the Father

listens

with attentive ears.
