Believer’s Alphabet Poem

English Letters of the Alphabet

And always

Believe because

Christ can

Deliver, destroy

Evil enemies

Forget fear

God’s good

He helps

In ALL situations

Just ask Him

Keep trusting

Let Him

Make a way

Never give up

Overcome fear

Pray always

Quietly

Resting in Him

Savoring silence

Trusting Him

Under all circumstances

Victory is in His

Will and Way

X out all doubts

Yield yourself

Zealously to Him daily

Time Less

HourGlass lying sideways

Unfinished projects abound.

Each day showing me they’re around,

They shift and fall and fret,

Hoping my attention to get.

Some buried beneath a paper stack,

Just lie in wait for what they lack.

Others in plain site collect

Dust, as each day them I neglect.

Sadly they all sit, waiting for the day,

For me to have time to bring life their way.

Your Vestige

Fall Leaves

Time and life will take their toll.

They will leave a lasting imprint.

What is to be your end goal?

Time and life will take their toll.

The body dies but not the soul.

Consider this as you do your stint.

Time and life will take their toll,

They will leave a lasting imprint.

Who am I?

Universe

I am a million thoughts,

Images and feelings,

Held together by hopes,

Dreams and will.

I am a broken heart,

Mending.

A dreamer, chasing.

A child, exploring.

I am youth and old age,

Combined in mind and body,

Held together by God.

Ephemeral Joy

Brown Leaf in Fall

In the days of my youth

When time was of no essence

No thoughts for the morrow

Entered my lofty world

As I grew vibrantly

In the fresh breezes of life

Enjoying the sun’s kiss 

Until touched by Autumn’s breath

I felt the brevity of life
