Waiting
Upon the Lord
Praying, hoping, believing,
All give me strength to begin
Again

I Don’t Know
I don’t know the why
But I know the One who does
He sits upon high
I don’t know the when
But I know the One who does
And He knows the time to begin
I don’t know the how
But I know the One who does
And I’ll trust Him in the now
I don’t know the where
But I know the One who does
And He’s already there
I don’t know the end
But I know the One who does
And I’m glad He’s my friend
Rhyme
Just One Word
Today I wrote a word
Just one short word
It sat there awhile
All alone it sat
Until inspiration
Caused it to grow
And multiply itself
Creating a story
Of three thousand words
The power of pen
And inspiration
Can change the world

[NaPoWriMo–Day 15–Terza rima] [April 2014 PAD Challenge–Day 15]
(My first attempt at writing a Terza rima poem!)
From Beginning to End
It’s National Opposites Day!
Shall I say goodbye when I mean hello?
And should I stay when I really want to go?
On this day of opposites,
Does anyone know what really fits?
If I say what I mean,
Will I mean what I say?
Oh Lord help me make it through this crazy day!
Perhaps it would be better to stay in bed,
And just skip this day instead,
But if sunrise is sunset, it’s over before it begins,
So I shall just play along ’til it ends!
