I Don’t Know

Sky

I don’t know the why

But I know the One who does

He sits upon high

I don’t know the when

But I know the One who does

And He knows the time to begin

I don’t know the how

But I know the One who does

And I’ll trust Him in the now

I don’t know the where

But I know the One who does

And He’s already there

I don’t know the end

But I know the One who does

And I’m glad He’s my friend

Searching for Inspiration

Who? What? When? Why? Where? Words In a cloud image
Uninspired, and I’m trying to write.

Who, What, When, Why, Where?

Why are some days such a fight?

Uninspired, and I’m trying to write,

But just a blank page is in my sight.

You know, some days just aren’t fair!

Uninspired, and I’m trying to write,

Who, What, When, Why, Where.

Why Do Lions Roar?

Why Do Lions Roar?  Graphic of a lion roaring--Cinquain poem
Lion graphic from http://www.clker.com

Why do lions roar?
Answer:

They roar to communicate with each other and they roar to proclaim where their territory is, they do this every evening.
Roaring is also one of their strategies for catching prey – they creep up on the prey and when they are close enough,
they will let out a roar that confuses that animal(s) and strikes fear into the lion’s prey.
The prey then cannot “think” or react correctly out of fear and so is trapped and caught by the lion.

NaPoWriMo 2013, #26–A Soul’s Search

It’s late and I am seeking sleep,
Yet all that I can find,
Are “what ifs”, “whys” and questions,
Deep within my mind.
“If only” is my companion,
As I search for needed sleep.
Rest I cannot  find,
As the days troubles I do keep.
Worries weigh upon my heart,
And chase the peace away,
Until I turn to God,
Give it all to Him, and pray.
