Don’t entertain those
Dogged disappointment days
Dismiss and disown
Them from depressing your life
Discuss your problems
Resolve to dissolve
Seek the positive
Discover ways to overcome
Don’t let despondency win
Choka
“There’s always failure. And there’s always disappointment. And there’s always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.” —Michael J. Fox
So many colors
Dot the green
From just one tree
Syllable Line
I was out walking about my yard today just admiring all the different colors of the fallen leaves. There are so many variations of colors it is amazing.
Measuring time
Like money
It’s running out
Wasting away
Slowly fading
Handle with care
Frugally spend
Syllabic Verse
What do you see?,
The sun shining bright
Glorious
Flecks of gold,
Streaks of light streaming downward,
Or darkness creeping?

What does God do with
Unused fruit
Abundantly beared?
Syllable Lune
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last—and so that whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you. John 15:16
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; John 15:8
Have you ever wondered what God does with the fruit you bear daily?
Do you wonder if some of those Fruits of the Spirit you bear ever fall on good ground, get picked and used, or just fall by the wayside and go unused?
I don’t believe we who are true believers bear any unused or wasted fruit if we are truly walking in the Spirit and abiding in the Vine.
If we are bearing good fruit God can and will use it for His glory and it is not our job to wonder or worry about it.
Our job is to just be fruitful, bear good fruit, and leave the rest up to God.
That guy that walks dogs everyday,
Elderly man with head of gray,
Have you ever asked him
How to get to heaven?
The people on the street,
Each one you meet,
All wanted.
Tell them!
—God

This poem was inspired by a quote on my daily calendar “The Grace of Encouragement” by Charles R. Swindoll.
I have had this calendar for many years and it has inspired me over and over.
I heard His words echo “Follow,
Follow Me” and my heart told me go,
Go, leave the chaos, Follow Him,
Him, who knows all there is to know.

My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” John 10:27
Chill
Nippy
Unwelcoming
Wind turns up collars
At the local bus stop
Conversation turns to weather
“Winter is trying to sneak in early”
Clarity Pyramid
I see you
Walking about
Standing on the street corner
Holding a cardboard sign that says
It all
