Leaves fall
Nature prepares
For its sleep
Flowers fade
Grapes wither on the vine
Bird song quiets down
Shadorma
The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever. -Isaiah 40:8

Seeking Truth
Inner voice
Telling is me
Just what I should do and say
I check God’s word to prove it true
Always
Cinquain
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.
Hebrews 4:12
How To Get to Heaven
It’s really not hard at all
Just listen for God’s call
He supplies the faith you need
Just let go, let Him lead
His Son has made the Way
So follow Him today
In your heart believe
Salvation you’ll receive
Rhyme
…confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus,
and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead,
thou shalt be saved.
Romans 10:9-10
For Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
John 14:6
Good Fruit
Jesus wise words
Trees are known by their fruit.
Promote the good
Out of the mouth the heart speaks
Fill your heart with good treasure
Tanka
For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh. Luke 6:44-45

Blessing of a Gift
Oft’ a gift blesses
Not only the recipient
But also the giver
Senryu
And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’ Acts 20:35
Last night I was blessed to be given a wonderful surprise gift by my youngest grand-daughter. Her generous heart brought me so much joy!
Yet, she said the giving brought her much joy also. She’s such a sweetheart!
Restoration
Bowed, not broken.
Bruised, but will rise again.
In His mighty strength
And His tender compassion,
He will bring new life to me.
Tanka
(based on Matthew 12:20
A bruised reed shall he not break, and smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgment to victory.)
Keeping Faith
I know,
That someday,
All things will work for good.
I believe all of God’s promises.
I do
Believe.
It’s just living through
The daily grind of life,
All the minutes inbetween,
Til then.
Double Cinquain
And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
Romans 8:28
Hard Times
Times are hard
Troubles come everyday
Trying to keep the faith
I talk to my Father daily
And His Word reassures me
Tanka
