The clock of life is wound just once
That no one has a second chance
To change your very life of ease
Which you have lived just as you please
...

Greed is such a simple word
Yet rob so many of what they heard
The more you give the more it takes
And does not care even when it aches
...

My hope one day is just to greet
My Lord and king whom I shall meet
Face to face with Him on whose feet
The ointment poured so very sweet
...

The soul is that intricate part in man
Which someday God will require again
To stand in judgement for every human
Good for those with clean hands and heart
...

To laugh is always such great fun
It relieves the soul the heart the lungs
It is easy for others to join in the fun
And from frown and grouch they can run
...

When love immortal from above
Looks down on man with tender love
He saw him there perched like a dove
So puzzled of his first love lost
...

The rainbow now you cannot see
With colours as clear as can be
To mark the path of destiny
So often trod when saints are sad
...

The top is always a wanted spot
So many sought it but would not
Do what it takes to hit the spot
Or follow the few who cast in their lot
...

Freedom comes from deep within
And reflects the heart and soul akin
It gives you permission to surmise
And your heart wisdom to realize
...

She rises early before the sun
Awesome wonder at what God has done
Before the birds and bees to flower run
With God she has had her sacred fun
...

Silence is golden the world does say
But not golden for those who won’t pray
For if in your heart you do not repent
It will give you no peace but discontent
...

Joy is contentment of the mind
Which in the heart you will find
When your heart is never blind
To painful deeds and words unkind
...

A smile is only just one way
To say hello you’re welcome this day
It generates warmth and relaxes the will
Beware it is not a skill to pay your bill
...

Courage so often is taken lightly
By those who cannot see their plight
It’s not meant for you to see
But know it is something you must be
...

When last upon a sunlit morn
Did you gaze on the flowerbed at dawn
And seeing a rose without a thorn
You wondered where all the thorns had gone
...

The robe so much as we are told
Is given only to those who are bold
With colours distinct often trimmed with gold
Prepared with a mindset of the mould
...

What is life to a man or a women anyway
When day after day you seem to be on a sway
Often time you looked this way and then that way
And cannot find any precise road map
...

Thanks is a very small word indeed
But carries weight that supercede
The weight that could be bought
Yet never convey the human thoughts
...

While married with two sons and a dad
I wondered what else the future had
Desiring so much a dear little gal
So we could be like very good pals
...

If Jesus comes knocking on your door today
And you are not ready what would you say
Would you find excuse and let Him go away
Or would you just say come in and stay
...
