Revelation 21:5 Paraphrased And Rhymed

The one sitting on the throne,
said, "Look, I'm making all things new!"
"Write this down", He said to me.
"For I Am trustworthy and true."

Greater Than A Knife

Greater than a knife,
more like a two edged sword,
the Word of God cuts asunder,
where thought and intent,
are stored.

A Wise Prayer

Lord grant me wisdom to know what to do,
and the wisdom to actually do it too.

Good King Wenceslas

Singing medieval lyrics is a challenge.
But I like the story and the song.

Do You Hear What I Hear

My version of this classic song.

I Know

I don’t worry all about the things I hear.
I don’t worry cause I know the One who’s near.
Yes I know. Yes I know.

I don’t fear what others show to me.
I know the one who controls my destiny.
Yes I know. Yes I know.

I’m not saying there aren’t problems everywhere.
But I know my life is in His care.
There is more to it all than what we may see.
So I trust His promise that He cares for me.

So much going on that I don’t understand.
But I know my life is in His hand.
There is nothing, that can take Him by surprise.
If I’m knocked down, He will make me rise.

I don’t have to listen to a bad report.
I don’t have to turn to a last resort.
Cause I know. Yes I know.

I don’t have to wonder how it will end.
He’s already shown it to all His friends.
Yes I know. Yes I know.

He told us long ago to choose which side were on.
As for me and my house we know where we belong.
It’s only the beginning when it seem like it’s the end.
And hopes that have died, they will live again.

The battle is the Lord's and we all can play a part.
He’s sealed us with His Spirit and He’s spoken to our Hearts.
He’s asked to trust Him and only to believe.
And we are to follow Him, to victory.

Proverbs 28:2

Many rulers are in the land,
that has transgressed,
but a wise discerning king,
rules a land,
that is blessed.

His Hand In Mine

Just an old guy singing an old song. :)

Light In The Darkness

A song of hope

 

Calming Commune

I meditate and offer prayer,
to Almighty God,
who is everywhere.
Who keeps me in,
His loving care,
and adopted me,
as a king’s heir.

I Know This

My lifetime pursuit of knowledge,
rewarded me and bestowed,
an understanding of how much,
there is that I don’t know.

Sometimes The Rocky Road

Sometimes the rocky road,
is the surest footing in a storm.

Good Advice

The best advice that I had given,
was clear for all to see.
I should have followed it myself.
I said “Don’t listen,
to me.”

Writing A Ticket

He wrote of children,
running through fields of yellow flowers.
He wrote of liturgies,
and prayers through the hours.
He wrote of music,
of heavenly sounds.
He wrote continuous,
as the bombs fell around.

A Pearl Of Wisdom From One Who Should Clam Up

The world hasn’t gone mad.
It’s always been mad.
But now a new madness exists.
The unmad are afraid to tell the mad,
they’re mad,
for fear of making them mad.

Tent Worms

Oh little worms,
in your tents.
Behold how many,
leaves you’ve rent.
I contemplate,
and conclude one thing.
Basically,
you’re disgusting.

Trimming Time

I set aside ten minutes,
for a trimming of my hair.
Every follicle was cut,
with nine minutes to spare.

It Must Be Done

Every day there is a task,
I must do but find defeating.
At some point in the day,
I’m required,
to finish eating.

It's Easy

Recently I’ve had quite a few people remark to me that I look much thinner.
It’s true, I have lost some weight.
Actually in a relatively short time I have already lost twenty five pounds.
It was easy.
Hardly any work or exercise or diet was involved.

I didn’t realise how bad my over eating was getting.
So one night, just for the heck of it, I skipped my usual overindulgence of food before bed.
The next morning “Bam!” I was twenty pounds lighter.
That’s it. I just skipped one meal.
I really must of been piling the food on my plate.
In fact I had to make sure I ate regular meals in reasonable portions or I risked becoming skin and bones.

I decided I needed to add some muscle to my arms.
I pulled my old barbells out of storage and blew the dust off them.
I did a couple of reps with thirty pound weights.
“Swandella!” My biceps expanded three inches overnight.
I quickly discovered many other areas in life that were quite easy to achieve.
The car needs fixed? I read an online manual, “Cladoodoe!” My car now looked and acted as if it just rolled off the showroom floor.
Household repairs needed? “Ziptabada!” Suddenly my modest shack looked like Hearst Castle.

Really everything is so easy.
All the talk about how hard you have to study, or work at something, or stick to it, or the rewards are worth the effort, etc. etc.,
It is just a bunch of propaganda to keep people down.
Everyone would be happy and successful if they knew the truth of how effortless achieving any good thing really is.
I could go on and on, but I think you get my point.
In case you don’t, let me reiterate, “It’s Easy!”
No pain no gain, Ha!
Lies! Lies!
Well I got to go.
A friend needs a risky surgery done tomorrow,
and I need to read how to do it before my favorite show comes on T.V. tonight.

Jealous Guy

I must admit I harbor jealousy.
And a little bit of envy,
towards everyone,
not me.

With The Rising Of The Moon

I drastically changed,
with the full moon rising in the night.
Suddenly I became,
articulate and well-liked.

No Pets

I have no pets.
Although I love cats and dogs,
yet their possession makes me bitter.
For as much as I enjoy their company,
I detest the scooping and changing of litter.

Second Helping

I reblogged an old post.
And do you know what I found?
Rejection is even worse,
the second time around.

My Top Ten Good Qualities

I set out to make a list.
I thought it would be fun.
“My Top Ten Good Qualities.”
I’ve yet to think
of one.
