Free gift.
Given from God.
Is indescribable!
The grace of God bestowed to us.
Freedom!

Different types and forms of poetry I have written
A Purpose in Time
A clock’s life demands,
Movement of its hands.
In a circle they must go,
Not too fast, not too slow.

Never Ever
Never, never, never give up. —Winston Churchill
Never, never,
Let your hope sever.
Consistently endeavor.
Hang on to your dreams forever,
Whatever.

An Old Familiar Place
I shouldn’t be here
Dwelling in the past
Shedding a tear
I shouldn’t be here
Reliving yesteryear
Thinking of things that didn’t last
I shouldn’t be here
Dwelling in the past

Sinful Soul’s Selfie
Before I met Christ
My selfie showed just a wretch
Lost in the darkness
Unaware of an eclipsed soul
Held captive by sin and death

Always in Demand
Someone’s always watching me,
Or racing to beat me.
It seems they can’t live without me!
In the morning I wake them
When they tell me to,
Yet then they often get angry
And hit me!
People are always saying I move too fast,
Yet if I stop, they get upset!
I really don’t understand the logic of it all,
But then, I’m just a clock!

Heart Quest
Many fall in it.
Many seem to get over it.
Many do find it.
What is it that I speak of?
The thing all hearts seek–it’s love!

Hasty Words
Can I take them back?
I didn’t mean what I said.
What I spoke was wrong.
I want those words to be unsaid,
And their memory erased.

The Elements
Taking elements
In remembrance of His death.
The bread and the wine
Represent Jesus’ sacrifice.
His body and blood for us.
