I hold
Today in my hand
What shall I do with it?
Use it for good before its gone?
It’s my choice
I can choose to just waste it
And throw it all away
Or expend it
For good

A Tribute to Billy Graham
After a long time
As a good and faithful servant
His Lord said “Well done”
Senryu
Written I honor of Billy Graham’s entrance into the joy of his Lord today at the age of 99.
His lord said unto him,
Well done, good and faithful servant;
thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:21
A Future and A Hope
A spirit of hope,
Leads to a door of the future.
Prosperity waits,
In accordance with Him,
And His plans for me.
His word declares it so.
I sall not be harmed,
For His plans are for good,
For me forever and ever.
Choka
Based on Jeremiah 29:11

Taste and Trust
Have you tried the LORD?
Have you experienced Him?
Have you taken time?
Taste and see, the LORD is good.
Have you reached out?
Trust and see, His blessings flow.
He is waiting for you.
Perceive who He really is.
Taste His goodness today.
Choka
Oh, the LORD is good!
Just trust in Him and be blessed!
Taste and you will see!
Senryu
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8
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
Double Triolet
Doubts
To win
Don’t dwell with doubts
Doubts are just traitors
They promote fear, cause loss
In life
They keep attempts from happening
Quench good and create losers
Do not listen
To them
Butterfly Cinquain
(Inspired by Shakespeare)
“Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.”
-William Shakespeare
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
