REST HAPPILY (villanelle)

REST HAPPILY (villanelle) Ask not for other gifts you see Be ye content that He knows best But in His arms rest happily Do not complain if ye are free Count the many ways you are blessed Ask not for other gift’s you see Trust with all your heart and believe Do not give in to strife and unrest But in His arms rest happily He knows exactly what you need Come on your knees and be His guest Ask not for other gifts you see With heart of thankfulness and glee With not one care upon your breast But in...

THE BABY

THE BABY This is the way the baby appeared Like deer from forest into the clear Like morning glory when morning dawns As frightened wings the grouse flies upon Like moonflower woken with the night Like candle lit and then there is light As magic beauty that’s so revered This is the way the baby appeared Sign in to see full entry.

The Autumn Breeze

THE AUTUMN BREEZE The autumn breeze has come again Once more I've found it to be a friend It cools the heat of the day I love the message that it sends It stirs the leaves upon the tree And sends some down to greet me Gently lowering them to the ground It makes us all feel so free The autumn breeze touches my face My smile is there for it to trace No tears will it find to wipe away It's soft and fine like a piece of lace How it calms the troubles of my mind Gently lifting away any it finds It...

GENTLE TOUCH

GENTLE TOUCH Leaning back looking up into sky of blue, Slowly drifting clouds adorn my lovely view, The breeze gently stirring the leaves on the tree, My heart and mind captured in this tranquil peace, The softness of the wind touches upon my face, It feels just like my Fathers’ touch of grace, How it caresses my spirit and gently touches my soul, though broken before my eyes opened now I am whole Sign in to see full entry.

Jesus Is Coming ( double etheree)

JESUS IS COMING (double Etheree) I Shall not Give up now. I've come too far, I've spent too much time, The prize is before me, I must endure till the end I must run this race with patience On the straight and narrow road I'll stay Jesus is coming soon with my reward Soon He will come riding upon a cloud I must be watching and waiting too Like a thief in the night He comes No man knows the hour or day Two in the bed sleeping One will be taken Be ready now Soon He comes Hold on Fast Sign in to see full entry.

The Older I Get

The Older I Get I now find as I grow older That more and more I seek to be alone Where peaceful thoughts are born I find that less and less I care for the noise of a crowd For when I am alone I can think right out loud The older I get The more dimly I see The things of this world I now look for eternity Things start looking bright In the horizen of my mind The closer I get to heaven The more light that I find The older I become The more I am ready to go The more I want to fly As gravity slowly...

Rose Of Sharon

Rose Of Sharon The rose of sharon's sweet face Basked in the rays of the sun And danced in the wind with grace Young lady having such fun Her bright smile the world could see She was waiting just for me Bees came and sit by her side Sweet song as they flew about Her great beauty they had eyed Love stricken there was no doubt Tho' their advances were sweet She was waiting just for me Hummingbird tiny and swift Came to smell her sweet perfume To offer his splendid gifts His love for each special...

Till I Get It Right

Till I Get It Right Somewhere in time, I hope to find All of the words missing the ones weighing on my mind And words say so much, a heart they touch That's what a poet does the reader is left to judge And I've searched everywhere I could trying my best to write And I think I'm gonna keep on till I get it right I know that time, It's not so kind Waits not for any man seems like it is such a crime And words hide away, they will not say Just where they have gone to if they're coming back today And...

Where Have All The Flowers Gone

Where have all the flowers gone Where have all the flowers gone?... I turned around and they were no more Yesterday my heart loved them For the special way they praised the Lord Now they lie beneath the ground Sleeping in peace till some blessed morn Rest assure they will spring forth Glorious beauty adorned All we see is beauty gone Our broken hearts ache so from the loss We miss the beauty of them That went away with the bitter frost But one day the sun will shine Upon that great and glorious...

Pretty By Nights

For those that might not know, Pretty By Nights are a beautiful little flower that closes up in the daytime and opens up every evening. They are also known by the name Four O'clocks Pretty By Nights I love these little pretty by nights Though I can't tell you just why At the dawn with the new mornings light They close their eyes and my heart cries So gentle they can't bear the noonday sun So all the day they just dream and sleep And from the heat and light they swiftly run Until evening shadows...
