“No more rain Lord”
A wet flooded Houston crys
“Rain Lord, we need rain ”
Oregonians praying
Wildfires raging
And flood waters displacing
Elements ignore
Our Nation is on its knees
May God’s mercy be upon us
Choka
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee. Psalm 33:22
The World Wide Web
Knowledge at our finger tips
Window to the World
Haiku
March left me last night,
while I was sleeping,
And out of sight,
She went creeping
right out the door
and April slipped in
With a silly Fool’s Grin
To prank me once more
Rhyme
March of many weathers enters
Like a Lion’s loud roar
Shaking the barren tree limbs
From their sleepy core
Awakening season’s centers
To life once more
Then the Lion sleeps, time dims
March shuts Winter’s door
With Daffodil’s as assenters
And Songbirds galore
March leads a chorus of hymns
Life to restore
As Springtime rain mentors
March exits, no encore.
Like a frisky Lamb she skims
Toward the exit door

Will you leave a legacy of love and joy?
Or pilot a trail of endless pain?
With what marked traits does your life employ?
Will you keave a legacy of love and joy?
Or a bitter life which does annoy
By seeking only its own selfish gain?
Will you leave a legacy of love and joy?
Or pilot a trail of endless pain?
