Disciple

Serious still serving

Looking listening loving

Awakened alert able

Vested varied valued

Empty empathetic excited

Both Sides Now (Sincere apologies to Joni Mitchell:)

Hope and promises of change

Tales of honor in exchange

Advertisements getting strange

Elections are that way

 

But now they only block the sun

They rain and snow on everyone

So many things I wish were done

Elections block the way

 

I’ve looked at them from both sides now

From up and down, and still somehow

In their delusions I recall

I don’t like lies at all

 

But now it’s just another show

They leave us crying as they go

And if you dare, don’t let them know

Don’t give your vote away

 

Seen politics from both sides now

From give and take, and still somehow

In their delusions I recall

They really have no love at all

 

Oh but now old friends are acting strange

They shake their heads, they say I’ve changed

Well something’s lost but something’s gained

In each election day

Seen elections from both sides now

From WIN and LOSE and still somehow

In their delusions I recall

I really don’t like lies at all

 

I’ve looked at lies from both sides now

From up and down and still somehow

It’s in delusions I recall

I really don’t like lies at all

Porch Swing

Rusty chain squeaking

Breeze freeing

Wooden boards creaking

Stress fleeing

 

Crumbs

My heart sits and hopes

Like a little pup

Waiting for a crumb.

Beneath the table

It lies patiently

Never giving up.

.

Posture

When it comes to praying

God sees my posture.

Others notice too.

People see my piety;

God just sees my heart.

Freedom

Truth, love, and peace 

Free the spirit, heart, and soul

Mirroring Christ’s power.

Sitting on the Shelf

The china doll looks down

Wanting to play on the floor.

She sees the other toys

And wishes she could join in.
