Computer Thinking

When I sit at my computer

Thinking about the world.  I question if

Diogenese dreamed of miracles

Today's scientists have unfurled?

He searched his world with lantern

Trying to find the truth.

Sometimes I sit and wonder

Why didn't he find it in his youth?

People might be more educated

Today than in his day.

But many miss the most important 

Basic truths of life I say.

They know about astrology

Men on the moon is more than just a wish.

Medical marvels are performed each day.

Life can begin in a Petri dish!

But when it comes to average men

Do they really understand?

God is the source of all life

It never came from man.

Spread The Word

Spread the word, spread the word!

Tell all men what you have heard.

Let them know that God loves them,

And that you love them, too!

Hold their hands, serve their needs.

Tell them how our Savior bleeds

When they do not love each other as they should.

Spread the word, spread the word!

Tell the children what you know.

Let them feel the love in your arms,

And protect them from all harm.

Cradle them, nurture them

So that they can nurture too.

Teach them how to love each other

As you do.

Spread the word, spread the word!

Tell the leaders of His word. 

Let them hear how you feel

So they can appeal

For justice in the land.

And for truth to take a stand.

So that they can be honest in their word.

 

Ode To Peanut Butter

You tanned, scrumptious lover!

You beckon me with promises of satisfaction,

An then,

Cruel lover...

What betrayal

When I step upon the scale!

Shining Armor

What ever happened to the knight?

What ever happened to the shining armor?

What ever happened  to  these?

Chivalry used to be an every day word.

What of opening doors, standing when

A lovely princess left the table?

Opening chariot doors, car doors or any door?

What happened to those gracious manners?

Spreading cloaks in the mud for a fair damsel

Just to please her?

Did the Betty Fridan syndrome of women's lib

Ruin it for us all?

The thoughtful, gracious, charming ways of a prince charming

Were heart winning!

Ladies never used foul language, spit in the street,

Or for that matter spread their legs in photographs

Years ago.

I'm not with it you say?

Oh, yes I am!

I get these things done for me because

I expect them from a gentleman.

Oh, young women, don't sell yourselves short.

Be refined.  Be dignified.  Be cultured.

It is worth every effort, you will see.

Set the example for your friends.  Become a princess.

Once in awhile I find the prince of a man out there,

However, unfortunately too seldom.

I miss him!

We all need a prince in our lives.

ON The Night When Our Savior Was Born (this is a song)

The world was dark, people felt despair

Till that wondrous night when God heard their prayer.

He sent His son as a human child

On the night when our Savior was born.

Heaven and earth breathed a holy sigh

On the night when Gods word became new life. 

The earth stood still and all men rejoiced

On  the night when our Savior was born.

Light came into the world.

Hope blossomed in our hearts.

Love came into the world

To bring us new life.

On the night when our Savior was born.

Now the whole world celebrates this day.

God has answered our prayers in a special way.

Jesus is present to  this day.

From the night when our Savior was born. 

Love came into the world.

Joy came into our hearts.

Peace came into the world.

When Jesus was born.

Light came into the world.

Hope blossomed in our hearts.

Love came into the world.

On the night when our Savior was born!

I Like To Snuggle In Covers On A Rainy Day

I like to mound the pillows up

And sink into them

Until they fluff up around my ears.

I like to hear the rain on the windows and the roof

Especially a tin roof.

On a rainy day

Every thing is clean.

Clean and washed to start over.

Like the first day of a new man.

Puddles reflect trees, make them upside down

Like my life

Till it begins anew on a rainy day.

Then everything gets washed.

I can see straight

And start over....

Thank you God for rainy days.

There must have been a million new starts for me!

Like the puddles----I hope I grew.

Like the trees--------I hope I got stronger, deeper roots.

Like the skies--------I cried.

I  tried.....

Give me more rainy days Lord.

I Like To

The Sacred Presence

At communion

Gazing upon the Divine Presence

I am overcome

At the privilege

Of being in His Presence!

Like the first jump kick

(though womb encased)

Of the Baptist.

De Colores Delirious

We jumped for joy,

Our smiles were wide.

Had a wonderful time.

The Spirit was deep inside.

We shared our love

It lifted us out of our seat.

To change our lives.

The lives of those we meet.

We were consumed with joy

Trinity in our midst.

Love you could feel.

An event not to be missed.

We came home from the conference

Walking on air!

People noticed the difference.

They knew we'd never despair.

Open your heart

To the spirit of God.

He's all around you

Even the road you trod.
