A VETERAN'S MEMORIAL DAY POEM

A VETERAN’S MEMORIAL DAY POEM

A SPECIAL TRIBUTE TO ALL OF THE MEN AND WOMEN WHO SERVE OR HAVE SERVED IN THE ARMED FORCES OF THE UNITED STATES, AS WELL AS THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES DEFENDING OUR COUNTRY’S FREEDOM.

Three cheers and a rousing round of applause
To those who serve or have served our country
Especially those who gave their lives knowing
That protecting our Godly value did not come free

In God we trust is the motto of this land
The principle to do what is just and right
These brave young souls have and will continue
To defend this privilege through the day and night

So let us take time out on this day of remembrance to pause
And pray for those who have served and those who still do
And honor those who paid the price with their lives
To protect and defend the liberties of me and you

Also pray for the peace of Jerusalem
The Holy city of our God and Lord
That one day soon we will see His return
When all who believe are of one accord

THE CHALLANGE

THE CHALLENGE

There are some people who might say that
I must be in a cult or perhaps I'm possessed
But the actual reason that I am who I am
Is Messiah Yeshua in whom I've professed

I have no animosity towards those
Who cannot see what God has done
In the Tenach God's prophets proclaim
The pre-destined birth of His only Son

God has put blinders on so many people
That have been mislead for centuries
He has given me words for all to read
To open their eyes and bend their knees

This is what the Lord desires of me
So I pose a challenge to everyone
Show me any prophecy that was fulfilled
Disproving Yeshua as Israel’s Holy One

If you are able to think for yourself
Read the New Covenant and you will see
That only He lights the way to God and
That knowing the truth will set you free

Then like myself it will be your turn
To share God's Gospel of Good News
Overcoming the hills and valleys that
Blind some Gentiles and many Jews

*** The Tenach is the remaining books of the Old Covenant
Which follow the Torah or first five books of Moses

I TWEAK THE WORDS

I TWEAK THE WORDS

Whenever I write the verses down
That I receive from the Holy Spirit
Sometimes they’re not completely clear
So I have to tweak them once I read it


I may have to do this once or twice
And occasionally even more so
But after reading it through several times
I know that the poem is good to go

This process is just one part of
How the Holy Spirit works in me
When that’s all done the final version
Is ready to integrate into my ministry

Eventually it will get put on my website
Because I only post two poems each week
I hope that if you should decide to go there
That you enjoy the written words I tweak

It is my sincerest hope and prayer
That you will tell others to do the same
And should this help lead to their salvation
To this I say, “ God bless His Holy Name.”

MIRACLES

MIRACLES

All miracles are gifts from God
After you go through trials and tribulation
But for many they do not happen because
They focus just on their pain and frustration

No one suffered more than our Messiah
Mocked and beaten and nailed to a tree
God used his death to bring Salvation
His blood set the sins of mankind free

For many who suffered and then passed away
They saw no miracles just pain and strife
If they had accepted Yeshua as their Messiah
Their miracle would have been eternal life

Profess your belief in Yeshua right now
Tell him you're sorry for your transgression
For the miracle of a pure heart and soul
Nothing is better than an honest confession

While you serve and tithe and minister
The Lord is doing something for you too
He's filling your storehouse beyond measure
More wealth in His Glory than you ever knew

STOP LOOK AND LISTEN

STOP LOOK AND LISTEN

When you were a young child waiting to cross the street
You were taught to stop look and listen before you crossed
Sometimes those who ignored these simple rules
Were also the same ones whose lives were lost

This rule not only applies to crossing streets
It also can be applied to the lesson of life
God wants you to stop to look and to listen
So that you won’t wallow in temptation and strife

Stop walking in the sinful ways that are of this world
Look up and look down and decide which way is best
Listen to the Word of the Lord and seek salvation
If you choose God’s path you have passed the test

FRUIT SALAD

FRUIT SALAD

I am getting very hungry
And must satisfy my pallet
I think I’ll make my favorite dish
And that would be fruit salad

First I’ll start with berries
Some of straw and some of blue
Then I’ll slice up some bananas
And add a few green grapes too

I’ll cut up a slice of of watermelon
As well as honeydew and cantaloupe
I think that I’ve got enough for now
So I’ll wash the dishes out with soap

Before I do I’m having second thoughts
There’s something missing if you please
I really need to top this concoction off
With a cup and a half of cottage cheese

I just remembered that I’m going out
To an outdoor pool party somewhere
So I guess I’ll bring my favorite dish
For everyone else who comes to share

MOTHER

MOTHER

How many people can you think of
Who have the ability to multi-task
The first to comes to mind is your mother
Who had an answer for anything you’d ask

She was a cook a maid a seamstress
As well as a nurse and chauffer too
She gave you spiritual guidance
And no matter what was there for you

She’s never looked for any credit
Nor has she ever asked for praise
In all the years you’ve known her
She’s never even asked for a raise

So on this day let’s give her homage
Call her visit her send her flowers
Show her how much you appreciate
What came naturally for so many hours

And if she’s gone to see the Lord
Remember her ever time you pray
Because without her patience love and guidance
You wouldn’t be the person that you are today

PROBLEM SOLVED

PROBLEM SOLVED

As we become more mature
We take on more responsibility
The more we take the less that gets done
Which most often leads to futility

So many things to do each day
So little time to get them done
We never seem to solve the problem
If you ask who can there is only one

Take some time out and turn it over
Ask God to show you the right way
He will provide everything that’s needed
Just ask Him in your prayers each day

You’ll find that life is less stressful
Most likely you’ll have time to spare
Everything that needs to be is getting done
All because the presence of the Lord is there

THE WORLD OF G.A.P.

THE WORLD OF G.A.P.

Welcome to the world of G.A.P.
What exactly does that mean
It means that God Answers Prayers
In black and white with no gray in between

Sometimes you may pray for things
Which are not in your best interest
There is a line between wants and needs
And God knows which one of them is best

What you really need to pray about
Is who you are in Him and He in you
And the rewards you reap will multiply
Trust me I know this to be true

We all are guilty of worldly sin
Yeshua’s blood has cleansed the slate
When you keep your focus on the mark
The world of G.A.P. will overflow your plate

SPECIAL

I've had the greatest privilege
To work in special education
Helping and watching their progress
Brought me both joy and jubilation

There were times when they got rowdy
And made attempts at acting out
But with firmness and true love
They understood what it's all about

They may be slower than some others
That's all that sets these kids apart
When you consider their special needs
It's plain to see that they're very smart

Not everyone can do this type of work
All that's needed is love and understanding
To care for their very special needs
No matter how much they may be demanding

Seeing their progress through the years
Gave me a heart felt warmth inside
I loved them like they were my own
They truly are a great sense of prid
