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
Where I once stood
Weak and frightful
Wondering if I could
Now I stand
And all’s well and good
I’m feeling strong
As I hoped I would
This brings the thought
Had I not in Him stood
If life now
Would be this good
It would not
For its understood
In His great strength
Is my livelihood
Rhyme
I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. (Jesus) John 15:5
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
Life is full
Of ups and downs
One day it’s laughter
Next day it’s frowns
The warmth of the Light
Causes us to ascend
We move and grow
As on Light we depend
Only in darkness
Does motion cease
Seek the Light this year
And you will increase
Rhyme
That God’s Love in me flows free
So as I go through my day
My Joy in Him others will see
May His Peace cover me in the fray
And may my Patience not flee
May Kindness in me stay
So God’s Goodness I can decree
And always may I display
Faithfulness that’s sturdy as a tree
That I may do His will everyday
And His true disciple ever be
To the One who is the Way
In Meekness I bend my knee
In Self Control I submit and obey
So the Father will be glorified thru me
Rhyme
