Christmas Day countdown.
Where is the season of cheer?
Everyone’s rushing.
In five days it’ll be all over,
And then New Year’s will be here.

Life’s Moments
One more day of life
Upon this earth I have spent.
Treasuring moments,
I can make a difference
In each day given to me.

Dreams
Many unspoken dreams
Live silently within our hearts
Nourished by our hopes.
Someday they might come true,
If we have the courage to speak.

Advent Hope
A candle of hope.
Our faith keeps it burning bright
To dispel darkness.
Illuminate our life path.
Ignite goals and future dreams.

Never Forget
Life is a vapor,
Full of disappearing days.
Make a difference!
Leave your mark on society.
Seek to better your world today.

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

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.

Happy-Sad
Happiest moment!
He asks me out on a date!
The saddest moment.
I realize he is a jerk,
And I just want to go home.
