One thing that will never pass away
A blessing that every one of us share
Where wealth or fame are not in play
On this earth nothing will ever compare
...

If you want to stand tall - noticed by all - number one
The best you could be - achieving victory - over everyone
At the top of your game - fortune and fame - the best
Diamonds and gold - a sight to behold - so blessed
...

Little children, I see you smiling
I see you there when I am alone
Are you here keeping me company
Two beautiful girls visiting my home
...

What good is sense
If it only makes sense to you

Proclaiming a litany
...

Today, is spring-time for the rest of my life
Thank you for the grace of opening my eyes
Praises and glory to my Lord, Jesus Christ
This day, Springtime, has entered in my life
...

Mark 13: 24-32

The time is ripe for the tribulation
No way to tell if it's day or night
...

I see a light at the end of the tunnel
A flaming light; a loud trembling rumble
I see a figure, of man standing there
The light of the world.....Jesus is near
...

This one is for you
In spirit of gratitude
For living your destiny
In every song you sing
...

I’ve written many poems and meditations, trying to find the right words to give the Lord some humble glory. Today, after shoveling snow for many hours, I sat down and turned on the TV. Flicking through the channels, I listened in awe when I heard a Pastor singing these words.

I surrender my life to you, withholding nothing….withholding nothing (Repeated)
...

We see the man; not the pain
As in a picture within a frame
On the surface all seems well
Caught inside a frame of hell
...

As the children sat in the Father's home
A lovely lady walked through the door
They've never seen this woman before
At that moment, their eyes were opened
...

This is the time to be straight
No more time for us to hesitate
The Kingdom of God is at hand
A line of truth drawn in the sand
...

I overheard a conversation
Of someone sitting close to me
She was asking for assistance
With her troubled family
...

Going to go high
Going to go higher
High above the sky
Going to go higher
...

How many times - after falling once again
Can I call upon you Lord
How many times - will your mercy once again
Be bestowed upon me Lord
...

Imagine the stars without a sky
Or the air without birds to fly
Imagine the earth without trees to dwell
Or a book without a story to tell
...

The word out on the street
Is that there is a better way
A new generation is born
Older ones are passing away
...

If we could gaze into a crystal ball
Be able with a glance to see it all
View people living out their dreams
The hills, valleys, oceans, and streams
...

The message on the stone cold heart read
Do not enter; go away, my life is going well
No need to try and put me under your spell
Please, just leave, everything is ok, have a nice day
...

My eyes caught sight of a remnant scar
I drifted back to a place not so far
When everything was new and fresh
Youthful clear unblemished flesh
...
