Initialism Poetic Asides

 

LOL

 

Laughing out loud from your spirit.

Humor abounds if you hear it.

Through trial, toil and trouble,

Let laughter so bubble.

Just let loose and do not fear it.

Silver

 Matthew 26:15

 

For silver pieces, three time ten.

Our Lord was sold to die and then

He bled and died as sacrifice

In our place

In our place

In our place

Amazing that we’re worth that price

Gold Poetic Bloomings

 I Peter 1:7

 

First Peter says though gold is great,

It’s not so great as our pure faith—

The hope we hold to be with Him.

He promised.

He promised.

He promised.

Let’s not let faith in Christ grow dim.

Clean, Poetic Asides, Panama 31

 Clean Start to Life as Usual

 

In Mesa, early church and pray,

Packed up our things and headed north.

A pleasant sunny drive that day,

As we made three stops going forth.

To me vacay is of great worth.

Monday, faced a long to-do list,

Shopping, laundry, you get the gist.

Tuesday, back to work, did my part  

Today, I’m tired my mind’s a-fizz.

Took a nap, now, for a clean start.

Day Two in Mesa Return Trip

 

We could never imagine

when we met when our kids were small

that forty years later,

we’d plan to travel to Scotland together.

What a fun conversation we had this afternoon,

neither one of us wanting to end the phone call

Long-time friendships-- Sustenance for the soul.
