Time

A Time to sew A Time not to sew A Time to write A Time not to write A Time of being young A Time of being old A Time of learning A Time of teaching A Time to pray A Time not to pray A Time to reflect A Time to act A Time to do A Time to rest A Time to understand others A Time to try to understand A Time to be gracious A Time to set boundaries A Season for this A Season for that All set in God's Purpose

Children

So many colors of children So many shapes of faces of limbs

of bodies So many colors of hair of eyes So many shapes of noses of fingers What a joy they bring laughter teasing joking And yes, problems at times Yet, such a treasure such a Blessing Let's enjoy them While we can

All about ME

 Is it all about YOU?

or is it All about HIM?

Are you glorifying SELF ?

or Glorifying HIMSELF ?

Hopes

 I've come to give you Hope

I've come to give you Life

I've come to give you Freedom

   OH

       BUT

Do you want it

   Do you want my Gifts

   Why do you run away

     Where will you go ?

I've Come

   I've Come

      I've waited

         and waited

To Give

   Give

      and Give

But you run away

   From ME

   The Life- Giver

Wishes

 I'll give you three wishes, the Genie said

Three wishes for you, oh don't be afraid

Bid me, oh bid me, to do what you ask

love to give wishes, For this is my task

Do you want fame and fortune, Do you want bread and wine

Do you want to have Beauty, With Princes to dine

Do you want to have pleasure, Do you want to have Love

Do you want to have friendship, Some Gifts from Above

Bid me, Oh bid me. I patiently wait

I'll wait here forever, for that is my Fate

Smiles

 A thousand Smiles

   came running

Or so it seemed

A thousand feet

   upon the grass

    or so it seemed

They're here

At last they've come

   At last

A thousand kisses

   Given then

A thousand hugs

   And more

Now...they are gone

A thousand hugs 

  Before they left

A thousand kisses

   Quick Goodbyes

But they will come 

   Again

Now ? Frowns...But

  then

A thousand Smiles

Sadness : Dedicated to Our Brother Ken who went to be with Jesus December 9, 2023

 

Today you went away

my dear Brother

You went where I cannot go...Yet !

You're not here, but

You are somewhere .. somewhere I cannot touch...yet!

Somewhere I cannot see...yet !

Today, I am sad

But, tomorrow or yet again, tomorrow

I will be glad

My dear Brother

When I see you !!!
