Tis not luck, but God’s hand.
Fortuitousness? I think not!
I believe all is in God’s plan,
Tis not luck, but God’s hand,
And on this truth I do stand
There’s no chance or lucky shot
Tis not luck, but God’s hand.
Fortuitousness? I think not!

Portion Pondering
Will you leave a legacy of love and joy?
Or pilot a trail of endless pain?
With what marked traits does your life employ?
Will you keave a legacy of love and joy?
Or a bitter life which does annoy
By seeking only its own selfish gain?
Will you leave a legacy of love and joy?
Or pilot a trail of endless pain?

On The Go
Not a moment to spare
Life’s just so busy
To do lists everywhere
Not a moment to spare
Running here and there
Life’s in a tizzy
Not a moment to spare
Life’s just so busy

My Plea
I really need to read
Deadlines must stay away
To read is what I need
I really need to read
Interruptions must not impede
Deadlines must stay at bay
I really need to read
Deadlines must stay away

Living in the Now
Learning from the Past,
Planning for the Future,
While the present I hold fast.
Learning from the Past,
Tis no easy task,
But I’m determined to endure.
Learning from the Past,
Planning for the Future.

Life’s Tapestry
Weaved with the color of joy
Stained with the color of pain
Threads that hope does employ
Weaved with the color of joy
Moments of small things that annoy
Seasons filled full with rain
Weaved with the color of joy
Stained with the color of pain
Moments time can’t destroy
Memories that always remain
A perfect pattern they deploy
Moments time can’t destroy
Our private life convoy
Showing exciting and mundane
Moments time can’t destroy
Memories that always remain

Candle of Hope
Candle burning bright
A symbol of hope
Extinqishes night
Candle burning bright
Overcomes fright
Reveals ways to cope
Candle burning bright
A symbol of hope

Q and A
Question:
Why is life so hard sometimes?
Some days are hard and others worse
I’m trying to live on nickels and dimes
Why is life so hard sometimes?
Good fortune falls and trouble climbs
Circumstances are so adverse
Why is life so hard sometimes?
Some days are hard and others worse
Answer:
Life cant be all sunshine and no rain
Both are needed to help you grow
Remember this when days are filled with pain
Life cant be all sunshine and no rain
It’s an important truth you need to know
Remember, for good, healthy, happy life to obtain
Life cant be all sunshine and no rain
Both are needed to help you grow

Procrastinator’s Apology
I try, I really do
I have good intentions
It’s true, really true
I try, I really do
There’s just no time to follow through
I’m filled with apprehensions
I try, I really do
I have good intentions

The Rains Return
There are gloomy skies in Portland
The persistent rains have come back
And many people think it’s grand
There are gloomy skies in Portland
In pouring rain some love to stand
And their love for rain doesn’t lack
There are gloomy skies in Portland
The persistent rains have come back
Triolet
(I was thinking of my grandson Dylan when I wrote this poem. He loves the rain so very much)
