One often has little to say,
but says it with many words.
If the tongue should endlessly bray,
then bind it with many cords.

We fear what might forever be lost;
So struggle to keep it whatever the cost.

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday away from here we were,
To do the needed task, not what we prefer;
Today as well, to drive the recovering wife --
But isn't this the proper married life?

Surrounded by predator lists and cackling crows,
Upon the unsuspecting soul they close.

Let Jesus be our end and all:
Show sprinkled blood and suffering brow,
The mangled body pierced for sin,
The Lamb of God from time eternal.

No Stairs

No stairs exist to take you to Heaven's gate:
We walk below, our path is here, and fight;
There's many a step before the final date ─
But then! the Lord will sweep us up in flight.

The Pillow

The pillow offers little rest,
The night brings wakened fears and sighs,
The bed was made for silent cries ─
The conscience presses upon the breast.

Good night to all the folk of peaceful heart
May God watch over all in every part
To those who seek his face and do his will
May angels sit upon your window sill

It's not borrowed time you're living on,
but gifted ─ a heavenly blessing, a day to enjoy;
Let God's wonders never elicit a yawn,
Deserving all the effort we can employ.

Alone with God

Alone with God, is all one needs:
He satisfies and clothes and feeds
The soul, he heals the broken heart,
And makes the excluded a vital part.
