In this ol’
Life at times
We find we’re
Just able
To stay afloat
And tread water
Not moving
Not going
Just keeping
Our heads up
Until someone
Helps us out
By throwing
Us out a
Lifeline
Syllablic Verse
Be that someone-throw out a lifeline to somebody in need.
Not looking for fame
Nor fortune beyond my needs
Just a simple life
Senryu
Listen and learn from
Amazing language of trees
Communicating
Rooted together as one
Sensitive to each need
Tanka
We humans would do well to learn from nature.

I wonder and worry,
But God speaks in many ways.
He often whispers when
I find a penny or dime:
“I will provide for your needs”

Based on Philippians 4:19 scripture
This daily prayer I do say.
Lord, in heaven on high,
Lead and guide me to Your way.
Lord, protect me I pray.
From all evil that might come nigh.
This daily prayer I do say,
Whether I be at work or play,
I ask that You, my needs supply.
Lead and guide me to Your way.
Teach me what I should say.
Show me Your word to apply.
This daily prayer I do say.
Lord, help me make it through this day.
If my plans go awry,
Lead and guide me to Your way.
Help me, my words to weigh,
That You I might glorify.
This daily prayer I do say,
Lead and guide me to Your way.
