Come sit awhile
On the comfy garden bench,
Neath’ the tall pine trees.
Let the sun melt away your cares.
Close your eyes and rest.
Nature’s tranquility
Will refresh your soul,
And you will leave renewed
To face another day of life.

Keep Looking Up
When the morn’s nigh
On His strength rely
Seek Him on High
When day’s done
Oh weary one
Seek the Son

Keep Shining Bright
Shining in the sun
Though a bit worn down from its use
Penny catches my eye
There lying in an obscure place, just off the beaten path was a penny.
I probably would never have noticed it if the sun hadn’t been shining as most of it was worn from use and dulled. It’s edges were rough, as if it had been chewed up a bit by a machine.
However, today in the sunlight it shone brightly enough for me to notice and that made me think of how I reflected my life.
What did people see when they looked at me? Was I shining in the light of the Son?
Was I noticeable or just obscure.? Was I making a difference in people’s lives?
I might be worn and weary, but I should still be shining out the light of Christ.
Something this little penny in my path made me ponder.

Old Glory
I passed by an old friend today
Tattered, torn and weather worn
From years of dedication
He still stood proudly there
Though faded, not jaded
To remind me
Of freedom
My friend

Past and Present
Who were you
Back in those days
When dreams were
Freshly built
To last for a lifetime
On foundations strong?
Who are you
In this present day
Weary worn
Storm ridden
Yet still standing with your dreams
On foundations strong

The Promise Of Spring
Oh worry not weary one
Spring shall surely come
Winter shall soon be done
Oh worry not weary one
Spring’s life has begun
And winter must succum
Oh worry not weary one
Spring shall surely come

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. Genesis 8:22

Weary feet press on
Someday you will walk on gold

Intermission Time
Energy is hiding
On this morn after Christmas
Inspiration leaves
Like a bird before winter
Holiday spirit follows

Christmas Eve Eve
Holiday tasks done
Nightfall will bring rest
To this weary head
Nothin left to do
But say “Merriest
Christmas” to all of you!

Wishing all of my family, followers and friends Happy Holidays! I appreciate all of your visits, reads, likes and comments.

“Don’t sweat the small things”
When life tries to weary you
Keep up and keep on.
Senryu
If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses? and if in the land of peace, wherein thou trustedst, they wearied thee, then how wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? Jeremiah 12:5
