Curtis Johnson Poems

A year that began and lingered long with pandemic and promises.Civil unrest with protest around the globe, crying out for justice. Mighty winds, fire storms, and a long lasting hot summer. Unprecedented hurricanes, leaving heartache and pain.

Some souls caught on fire, revealing the love inside of them, while others were cold as ice, unable to show or share their love. There were targeted acts of kindness from people ever so nice.The challenges seemed overwhelming, but mercy and love fought back.

For the most part, in western region of the planet, the smoke and wild fires are gone for 2020, and back east, after much destruction, the hurricaneseason has run its course. We pray that this winter will be less severe.

'Cold' is what I used to experience walking on hardened soil. 'Cold' is what I observed of icicles dripping from roof tops. 'Cold' is what I used to feel while growing up in the deep south.'Cold' was early childhood, being too poor to afford indoor bathrooms,and visits to the outhouse on a cold January night was the only option.

At first it wasn't my father's Oldsmobile.
Then, there came a longing for a new identity
With an invasion of one morphing after another.
Next thing I knew, there was no Oldsmobile.

Our heavenly Father always knows best
and has his way and will no less.
Yes, we are always free to protest;
raise our fists and push out our chest.
...

Aging moves us closer to death, the biggest mystery of all.

Mortality says to us, 'None escapes me and all shall die'.
Youth is a pleasant experience, but it really has no fountain.

Just Do It!
There are two notable Josephs in the Bible, and they both were dreamers.
One Joseph was young and immature, but his dreams resulted in saving the lives of many people.The other Joseph was a very wise and mature adult, whose dreamsresulted in a Savior for all the world's people.God saw the puzzling thoughts of the second mentioned Joseph.God also saw a wise and loving heart who wanted the best for Mary.An angel spoke to Joseph in a dream, and he obeyed.
