GOD IS GOOD BEYOND WORDS

When things get difficult and incomprehensible  When times are different, not like they used to It's tempting to lose sight and fidget But God is good beyond words  He provides for us beyond words Gives us comfort outside of this world  We are held in the palm of his hands His love for us unchanging  I've seen the good and the bad  Seen the beautiful and the ugly Amidst all of this, one thing remains That God is good beyond words..

RESILIENCE

In difficult times, we find strength  When we push back against excuses When we proudly or otherwise  Refuse to give excuses We find strength  God gives grace to push forward  When you find self at a crossroads  And tasks before you on hold  When you have tried but couldn't  And it seems not enough resources to complete your tasks When you want to ask permission to delay completion  When asking again doesn't sit well Let excuses die on your lips Try to forge ahead with the resources you have And come out with an even better outcome  So, don't give up in difficult moments  Could be God teaching you resilience  To forge ahead with what you have And come out with an even better result  Than if you had the complete tools...

ROSES OF VIOLENCE

They promised freedom from day one Way before the election was won  Renewed hope in the chosen one... Alas, in God we trust  An observer in all their madness  Hoping the best man wins Picked no sides in their contest  But unity should always come first  Been years we began running  The price of things haven't stopped running  Like an infant leaking diarrhoea  The supreme promises keep falling flat The previous man was a herdsman  Treated men like cattle and made life difficult  This one is a tycoon, he lifted all restrictions  Then made the masses pay for it— Through the nose, through the anus  This someone who promised citrus.. The silence of the lambs, the roar of the lion O, let the dogs out! Let them bark and keep barking  At this curious case that frankly  Springs up roses of violence in the land Brash and violent with all their prickly thorns  The chosen ones plunder the nation in turns  Ra...

BLESSINGS BEYOND WORDS

Everything is good  Not everything is bad Each time I look back  I couldn't be more glad  With each passing step I see the need to connect  To stay in touch  Remain as one with the Source Things I tried out  They worked out for me Advised others the same Can't say it worked out the same Not to say I didn't face failure  Or had things go a different way Than planned. But looking back I couldn't be more proud I look around  And see the world around me  I ask about my counterparts  Where is your sense of adventure? Not to say they tried their way And it didn't work their way  Or that I was right  And they were wrong Maybe it's because I  Have age on my side  And time against me That I could afford to be Able to leave everything behind  And never my steps rewind  Everyone talks about the money  But to me, it was kind of funny How like I had no roots I couldn't not leave behind  But always I...

THE MIST

People losing their minds in a vicious cycle Is it a problem of being fenced in? But even some who explored and returned  Found themselves in a downward spiral Great children with great promise  Trapped in cycle of diminishing returns Took the road to the highest funway  Had their minds cracked into splinters  See young children once full of life  Become unwitting shadows of themselves  Hovering about like darkening clouds Their guardians freezing in the headlights  High on drugs, but low on goals Aiming at action, but aiming aimlessly  The decline puts a chill on your soul Life a story, value your prose... They said it's because the walls are fenced in That there's something out there doing the feeding  But one thing is certain, God we are needing  Say no to drugs.

WITH GOD, WE'LL RUN THROUGH A TROOP

Like Humpty Dumpty in a house of cards Your house fell down like the walls of Jericho [And it's hard to pick up the spare parts] Every spring of idea became a dying plant (God forbid!) Something of colour ends up in monochrome  Look before you leap, are words of wisdom But what if faith is leaping before you look? Or is faith leaping before you look? And where then does that place our reasoning? Is it still faith if it breaks like a broom? And what if this leap doesn't pay as due? Should our faith in God make everything (exactly) possible? However, base your plans on something solid Not something that could go up in smoke Do not be too hasty to strike gold Neither delay too long a decisive blow  Be confident in your ability to win the race But don't jump the gun and think it's going to be okay (it's not!) Have faith in God, believe he can do all things But don't back yourself into a corner and put your God to test... Like refusing to serve in a tennis game Then ...

LOVE IS A WALKING STICK

The old man trusts his body   to a piece of metal or wood Not as his god or anything  But as a prop to hold him up The injured man does the same. Alas, love is a walking stick  Sturdy, reliable With you every step of the way Unrelenting, every night and day Sometimes, the stick may break And the rider is thrown  Whose fault is that,  Is it the stick?  Even if it were, a man gets another one And the journey resumes again.  Be as it may, whether strong or unreliable It's not about the form, but the matter. Hear the spirit of the guide, The essence of the walking stick  Is to be with you, to support you; Love is the walking stick of life, To be with you every step of the way... 04/01/24
