Writing to God

Writer’s Prayer

Lord, You are all You say You are.

You keep Your promises.

You answer prayers.

You love, heal, guide and protect.

You are good. 

And even though You are harsh

with Your people, at times,

Your intentions are their ultimate benefit,

and You are attentive, alert

and ready to heal and comfort.

Please, come fill me now

that I may write words that will
guide, comfort and encourage,
because You are that kind of God
and I want to be that kind of a person.

Poetic Bloomings Title of a movie

Fly Away Home

These fleeting days on earth go round and round

And weeks fly by like speedsters down the track

And even months pass in ways that astound

And years shoot forth and never will come back

And like contestants on cheesy game shows

We race the clock trying to get things done

And what we win nobody even knows

So some suggest we’re in it for the fun  

A voice of love and reason softly calls

And says the way has already been made

From dawn of time He understood the falls

And by His Son the price has all been paid  

Like honeybees so headed for their comb

May we be ready to fly away home.

Hope

H ope in Jesus

O nly. There is no other way to

P lease the Father. Jesus is the way to

E ternal life. See John 3:16.

 Sensitivity 

S pirit, please open my

E ars. I need to hear Your voice and I

N eed to learn to listen and do what You say.

S pirit, open my eyes.

I need to see Your hand in my life.

T oday, draw near to me.

I need to feel Your presence.  Give me

V ision to be able to see beyond myself.

I need to know the Father’s plan.

T oday, draw near.

Y ou are merciful God and worthy to be praised.

Gardening with Dad

Tommy trailed Dad down garden rows
He watched Dad plant each tiny seed
He longed to see how a plant grows

That would explain his naughty deed

He watched Dad plant each tiny seed
His plan seemed right just at the time
That would explain his naughty deed

Felt innocent of any crime

His plan seemed right just at the time

To take a look see underground

Felt innocent of any crime

As Tommy plunged his shovel down

To take a look see underground

We’re just the same way with God’s plans

As Tommy plunged his shovel down

With worry we too upturn plants

We’re just the same way with God’s plans

We question how His Word comes true

With worry we too upturn plants

And what a childish thing to do!

We question how His Word comes true

Instead of trusting in His grace

And what a childish thing to do!

Let’s keep His promises in place

So let us trust in His good grace

And follow Dad down garden rows

Let’s keep His promises in place

And see how each plant surely grows

PA vacuum

Vacume

If I had a vacuum cleaner

that sucked up letters,

with a whoosh I’d take

out the extra U from vacuum

and then, when I emptied the bag,

I’d nab that letter E which

I extracted from impasse
and stick it on the end, thus
relieving two spelling headaches.

The Spider 

A spider has its place in life

Though it has its limits 

To catch those pesky flies,

With a web like frost on glass 

Its silken thread glistens in moonlight

As the spider guards its seed 

The spider goes about being a spider

With no glimpse of the big picture
