My grand-daughter and I had a “painting day” together today. We had fun painting inspirational rocks to put in my rock garden.
She was very creative and imaginative and turned two of the rocks into a horse face! 😊
Living in an imperfect world
With imperfect people
As we struggle to survive
Searching for answers
With imperfect people
We walk, talk and dwell
Searching for answers
Only God can help us achieve
We walk, talk and dwell
Climbing mountains
Only God can help us achieve
Are we willing to trust Him?

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 26–Prompt: Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that uses repetition.
If I didn’t know You
As I truly do
I could tell a lie
And not blink an eye
Worship an idol
With any title
Use your name in vain
Or kill like Cain
Even cheat and steal
Without any ideal
Chosing not to laud
Parents and You, God
If I didn’t know You
As I truly do
I would break all Ten
As do some men
Mankind unaware
Living without care
Never to repent
On a knee that’s bent
Who’ve never heard
The Covenant word
If them I don’t tell
I’m guilty as well
Syllabic Verse/Rhyme
(Based on the Ten Commandments Of God)
Not once, in all times I’ve cried,
Coming to you broken,
In sorrow on bended knee,
Heart burdened with pain,
Not once, have You not heard.
Yet, of certain things
You’ve not replied though
In tears I ask again and again.
My heart knows as I walk
Taking steps my eyes can’t see,
That someday soon You will answer,
Fulfilling things hoped for
By this trusting soul, for
Not once, have You not heard.
Sonnet (Modern-unrhymed)
(Based on Hebrews 11:1 and 2Corinthians 5:7)
Weary feet press on
Someday you will walk on gold
New Jerusalem’s street
Senryu
(Based on Revelation 21:21)
Holding on in faith even though the
Outlook seems grim, we cling to His
Promises, believing and walking in faith
Expectantly waiting without wavering
…for He who has promised is faithful. Hebrews 10:23
Advent begins today and the First Week is focusing on HOPE.
Is a burden wearing you down,
Like a heavy gown,
A weighted cloak or heavy yoke?
Are you being oppressed,
Or being tried to be blessed?
Is it just a test,
Or the enemy’s cruel jest?
Time and faith will tell,
If it’s from heaven or hell.
Rhyme
Like a fading leaf
I wonder as I age
And detach from life
On my aged tree
Just what the end will be
I am trusting and
Praying that God’s angels
Catch me when I fall
Asleep on this earth
And like the wind
Gently take me up
To my eternal home
Where I will live on
In the God’s presence
On His Tree of Life
Syllabic Verse
#OctPoWriMo Day 16
Filled with doubt I elect to stand
Holding fast His words in my hand
I trust and overcome fear,
Embrace life, enemies sneer, as they disband
Florette
(Based on Psalm 37: 39-40
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.)

To come
