DEDICATION

I dedicate this book to my dearest Father and Mother and to all those who have conquered that road less traveled and who have discovered the peace that passes understanding.

Unto The Hills

Ps 126: 5-6

They that sow in tears

bearing precious seeds

Shall reap through the years

and bring in their sheaves.

For His Purpose

I have to write poems for these days

or else I feel I’ve failed to praise

my Lord who helps me find His ways

for never do I find despair

for I know I am in His care

and every cross that I must bear

I never think the load too great

I know He shares the heavy weight

while teaching me to consecrate

my prayers for purposes defined

that those who read these humble lines

find soul renewing of the mind.

My Praise

Psalms 78:1-8

I open my soul in parables

I utter dark sayings of old

though to none else comparable

and all the sages scold

I must speak as I am told.

For God is my souls salvation

I have learned this in His word

that I am a new creation

and if some be disturbed

it is better at least they’ve heard.

I cannot such love be concealing

that God sent His beloved Son

and His word and life keep revealing

through wonderful works He has done

how we too shall overcome.

My small praise I shall keep raising

to my precious Lord and King

and if we ever stop praising

and love’s tributes fail to bring,

then these very stones shall sing.

I offer this small celebration

for God’s love I could never hide

from my children’s generation

for our praise cannot be denied

when all our lives

God still provides.

A Closer Walk

I have walked the lonely shadows

of disillusionment and pain

far beyond our earthly measures

but looking back I then found treasures

from enduring each harsh strain

a closer walk with Christ was gained.

He held me up when I kept falling

lest my soul I would destroy

and when it got my soul’s attention

He let me go trough fires affliction

to burn the dross and the alloy

and give me His fullness of joy.

I go though pains or joy believing

by keeping true God knows my claim,

it matters not my wealth achieving

knowing soon I shall be receiving

His well done, my life long aim

and crown of glory with my name.

He helped me change my behavior

and taught me love and to forgive,

Oh my wondrous forgiving Saviour

who through His own loving favor

gave me a purpose then to live

through giving all that I can give.

A dream poem

Dare He ever take this from us

I, an enhancer of His trust

in dwelt by the sacred promise

as He obeys I surely must.

Now am I in faiths own measure

more am I his chosen treasure

grateful for the promise given

more assuredly I of Heaven.

A dream song

(I sang with great gusto the last verse,

line for line and when I awakened

I immediately wrote it down

line for line word for word.)

Though troubles will come

obscuring the sun

I know God cares for me,

His love has endured

keeping me assured

His mercy I still shall see.

Though I may grow weary

through woes dark and dreary

and though my heart may bleed,

He is my bright light

and song in the night

giving all strength that I need.

When my life is ended

there’s a highway splendid

leading to this reward

I’ve long been waiting

and anticipating

beholding my precious Lord.

Now I shall rejoice

when the world bursts off course

and everything goes wrong,

I’ll still praise the Lord

through the dark rushing void

with my exalting and praising song.

A Good Name

Shake off the rudiment of the world

before they have a beginning,

turn around, stand true, and then in turn

you will be set for winning.

Set for your standard goals that are real

not dreams that seem vainglorious,

if in the end a good name you achieve

you are the one victorious.

A Hallowed Place

When hope is gone hold on to faith

although each dream there fails,

remember there is always grace

that in the end prevails

for sorrows are a Hallowed place

no matter sorrow’s gales

and faith made stronger can be traced

through life’s harshest travails.

So hold the Spirit when you’re low

when sorrows are released,

as more the angry winds will blow

and hope seems at its least

for God is watching trials below

and chooses when they cease

then watch our Saviour here bestow

rare blessings of His peace.

A Happy Heart

I know not a dismal season

that can not be rearranged,

not by pastor, doctor, deacon

but I know one well known reason

since the Lord my heart has changed.

No thing is so devastating

but the Lord will see us through

but He kindly is awaiting

without pretense nor debating

for what we want Him to do.

He is not in Heaven’s seclusion

but just where faith has to start,

I have come to this conclusion

I think he dares sin’s intrusion

into such a happy heart.

A Lesson learned

Oh Lord you’ve shared through all my strife

of Your abounding love

when I no longer loved my life

so full of push and shove,

You still with blessings there more rife

being humble as a dove

showed me instead of loving life

to be a mother and good wife

and just live the life of love.

A Prayer

Not for the trophies of this world I pray

but dear Lord give me strength just for today

that I may do all I’m suppose to do

and above all else
