We love, remember, reminisce -
God's Christian poets who we miss...
but will, in Heaven, together be,
to praise again in poetry~!

God's Lawn 4-28-09
Feeling down and feeling out?
Feeling angry? Want to shout?
This morning at the crack of dawn
I saw my Fathers perfect lawn.
A perfect lawn that all could see,
but tell me this, how could it be -
when not a single blade of grass
could live up to perfections class?
As I view each single blade,
I know for certain God had made -
I feel, at times, so out of touch -
Feeling angry? Want to shout?
This morning at the crack of dawn
I saw my Fathers perfect lawn.
A perfect lawn that all could see,
but tell me this, how could it be -
when not a single blade of grass
could live up to perfections class?
As I view each single blade,
I know for certain God had made -
I feel, at times, so out of touch -
and do not measure up so much.
So often others seem remiss,
as they forget this blade exists.
In all these blades, it takes so many -
if I'm pulled, would it change any?
Notice ALL the blades imperfect?
If all were pulled I would expect,
that this whole perfect lawn of green
could soon become one ugly scene.
No one's perfect, make that clear -
here nor there nor any year -
but God had planned this all along -
for perfect lawn: imperfect throng.
So all lost souls can see His face,
I'll make His lawn a lusher place.
Through ALL life's storms I'll trust His ways
and in His lawn, I give Him praise!
So when I feel down and out,
I'll remember, there's no doubt -
that I'm not here for worldly gain.
So Lord, drench fully, me in rain.

But Then God 3-10-09
On the run - chasing shadows,and always on the go.
Always right - never wrong,
and always in the know.
and always in the know.
"It's not me" I told myself -
my life so wasteful spent.
I was lost. I went to work -
my mind was earthly bent.
I was blind. I couldn't see -
His voice I couldn't hear.
But then God (who loved the world),
had turned my busy ear.
I was a shadow chaser -
too busy for my Lord.
Praise God the Spirit stirred me.
and now I am restored.

Weekend Worship 3-7-09
Have a great weekend!The weekend I praise!
It sure makes me free!
Though bowing to Friday -
is it about "me"?
Is Saturday sacred?
Am I unaware?
Is sporting important -
with no time for prayer?
Do I enjoy Sunday,
or is worship dull?
Do I go my own way? Am
I my own idol?
My weekend? A gem -
we perfectly rhyme!
And finish this poem?
I haven't the time...
