Line of One

By Jerry Warren

I was inspired to publish this mainly by my granddaughter. I had been writing for a few years already. The material was on three-by-five notebooks. My granddaughter gathered these notebooks and wanted to put them in a book for our family. While transferring the material from notebooks to paper, she suggested that I should try to get them published. That was about a year ago. So I decided to see if someone was willing to take a chance, and Christian Faith Publishing came up. Many of my poems were inspired while attending church service. I personally believe that the Holy Spirit was involved in some, if not all, of these writings. They were about the constant battle between good and evil or darkness and light. For those who believe, it is an inspiration to continue and share belief when appropriate. The unbelievers will most likely never even look at this. Maybe it will inspire someone to turn to God and find the peace in the showdown of his light. The philosophical parts are the "To Be" verses. These may cause some to have a deeper thought about things we may witness on a daily basis. Most are common sense, some have more than one train of thought, and others are kind of blunt. Some of the poems are political in nature while others have a different aspect, all the while keeping in mind Satan trying to inspire people to turn from God. The universal love of God and the giving of his life for each of us who believe allows us to start a new life through Jesus Christ, who suffered and died for our sin.

Book preview

Light

We are always trying

To find our way

In the dark shades

And how much we are relying

On the sun in the day

We watch as in the western sky it fades

We will miss the sun

There is no denying

We can’t see to find our way

Will welcome it back from where it laid

The light of the Son

With darkness, it’s vying

We bask in the rays

A new sight for believers He made

For another God

We will not trade

Promise

It’s just words

So much blather

Can’t be talking birds

Unless their birds of a feather

If a promise is made

Those words should stand alone

To break it should make you afraid

Eye to eye or on a phone

A handshake is a greeting

Or it can seal a deal

At the end of a meeting

Depends on how you feel

A promise that’s broken

As in your wedding vow

A heart is forsaken

What do you do, now?

God has made a promise

For those who believe

One that I cannot dismiss

Broken promise, I can’t conceive

Can one ever be forgiven?

For a promise not kept

To God, not a way to be living

Punishment one graciously accepts

Fabulous

What does it mean?

It’s hard to describe

Depends how it may lean

To mind or body we ascribe

Many ways to think

Not two minds alike

One as quick as a blink

Another sharp as a spike

They are fabulous

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

That is what some say

Some look better as they get older

For beauty, other people pray

It is fabulous

Just to be admired

A job done well

To surpass one’s desired

In admiration, you dwell

That moment is fabulous

An artfully painted picture

Or a story well told

Get some use from a lecture

Be accepted into a fold

Things are fabulous

God is the world creator

Our sin He forgave us

Satan is a traitor

God is FABULOUS

Agape

A surprise expression

The mouth hung open

Maybe learned a new lesson

Agape is what you have been

Love has a different term

It is one of endearment

Feeling of one is very firm

No matter what the environment

Agape love is eternal

It is God’s love forever

His love is both internal and external

Love exists, it’s not an endeavor

When self-love

Is equal to that of guest

Agape is from above

A love only God can manifest

To imagine I cannot

A love that is omnipresent

A love everyone has sought

The love of the omnipotent

Refuge

If you’re looking for?

A place where you feel

Wanted and it’s not a bore

Refuge in a church is real

A bottle is a common choice

Not a satisfactory fulfilling
