I could have been an Olympian –
trust me, my efforts would be so bold –
but I’m not fast, fit, or flexible –
and I don’t really like the cold –
if it weren’t for those few details though –
you can be sure, I’d bring home the gold!

The Call
Enoch received a call
and said, “I am but a lad,
I will fail,
I can’t do that.”
The Lord responded,
“Go forth and do.
Trust in me
and I will be with you.”
The Perfect Snack
Looks like I need another cookie
I have a perfect snack, you see,
a snack in right in front of me.
Some milk and a homemade cookie.
A cookie made deliciously.
Don’t drink the milk speedily
keep it even as can be.
It can get a little tricky
to finish them jointly
my milk and yummy cookie.

Faith
Super Bowl 48
Excitement in the air –
my team gets to play.
All season long they fought
and made it to the big day.
On Your Side
So you had a bad day
but it’s kind of hard to tell
your life is a string of bad days
nothing ever works out well.
And throwing in the towel
is something you will never do
you just keep going and trying
someday it will turn around for you.
There are those who make fun
and just don’t understand
they knock you down
instead of lending a helping hand.
As you pick yourself up from the fall
let me tell you if it helps at all –
I’m on your side.
I am on your side.
I am
on
your side.
Bad luck follows you,
it finds you day and night
and you just can’t seem
to do anything right.
No matter how hard
or how often you try
it’s not good enough
and so you’re left to cry.
You often wonder if
you’re here on your own
and no one, no no one,
wants to face this world alone.
I’m pulling for you to win
to rise above the din.
I’m on your side.
I am on your side.
I am
on
your side.
We may never meet
but believe that
even if you
can’t see that
I’m on your side.
I am on your side.
I am
on
your side.

Backing up
Eden
Two commandments
seemingly at odds with one another.
How to keep one
without completely breaking the other? Continue reading
Every Monday should be a holiday
Every single Monday
should be a holiday.
Then nobody
would dread a Monday.
Of course,
the evil day
would then be
those darn Tuesdays.
Coworkers
would ask you –
is it a case
of the Tuesday blues?
And I’m sure
we would get greedy –
four days off
sound better than just three.
So why not
include Friday?
Yeah, the weekend will be
Friday through Monday.
And Tuesdays
will have the Tuesday blues.
A three day work schedule
for me – how about you?
And that my friend
is why every Monday
cannot always be
a blessed holiday.

Pacing
Anxiety and worry
I tend to wear on my shoulder
Still I carry on
like a frightened soldier.
Sleep will not come
for the troubled and concerned heart.
The load is heavy
when adversity will not part.
A rut in the floor
will be impressed soon enough
as I search for answers
primarily filled with love.
Answers elude me
when I try to find them alone.
This is more than
I can ever do on my own.
My troubles make me
pace a thousand times or more
but no peace comes
until my knees hit the floor.
The answer comes,
“Your troubles I will keep.
Rest now child,
it is time for you to sleep.”
