I look at you now,
In the Fall season of life.
Your beauty dim.
You are not as tall,
Nor as vibrant now,
As in the Summer of life.
Your color now gone,
You bloom no more, as before,
Yet, I love you still, my rose.

Whose Hand?
My inner child’s asking
“Whose hand are you holding
As you walk today?”
“If it’s the Hand of Pleasure,
She will lead astray”
“If it’s the Hand of Worry
You’ll have a bad day”
“I’m holding the Hand of God”
I say, ” So I’ll always be okay”
Choka/Rhyme
Pause to Praise
Is your life full
Of good things sent from the Lord?
Abundantly blessed,
Crowned with tender mercies?
Have you been divinely
Healed, Forgiven, Redeemed?
May you never forget
To always praise the Lord daily
For everything He does for you
Choka
Based on Psalm 103:1-5
Focus On The Light
Where ere your journey
Or your pathway might take you
Keep moving forward
Stay focused on reaching
The end of your tunnel
Where you’ll find your freedom’s light
Don’t let obstacles
Detour or delay your purpose
Set your face like flint

A Cry for Mercy
“No more rain Lord”
A wet flooded Houston crys
“Rain Lord, we need rain ”
Oregonians praying
Wildfires raging
And flood waters displacing
Elements ignore
Our Nation is on its knees
May God’s mercy be upon us
Choka
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Psalm 33:22
A Future and A Hope
A spirit of hope,
Leads to a door of the future.
Prosperity waits,
In accordance with Him,
And His plans for me.
His word declares it so.
I sall not be harmed,
For His plans are for good,
For me forever and ever.
Choka
Based on Jeremiah 29:11

Make a Wish
In the forest green
Silky circle of lace is seen
Picking it I glean
A feeling that’s so serene
Suddenly I’m queen
Filled with wishes umpteen
A magical scene
Filled will sunshine sheen
Parachuting seeds careen

Taste and Trust
Have you tried the LORD?
Have you experienced Him?
Have you taken time?
Taste and see, the LORD is good.
Have you reached out?
Trust and see, His blessings flow.
He is waiting for you.
Perceive who He really is.
Taste His goodness today.
Choka
Oh, the LORD is good!
Just trust in Him and be blessed!
Taste and you will see!
Senryu
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8
Coming Soon
The Eclipse is coming!
Strange behavior seen
The heavenlies react
Clumulus run from the sun
Cloud chaos in the sky
Mares tails sweep the heavens
The Eclipse is coming
The moon silently awaits
Its two minutes of fame
Choka
Vista
So much beauty
Bestowed upon one place
Billion grains of sand
Kissed daily by the sea
That encompasses
A towering rock of old
Worn smooth by elements
This time, this place, this space
Is mine to enjoy today
