"Waiting on the Lord"\

 

 

There's a lesson to be learned

 In waiting on the Lord.

For in time comes understanding

 As we grow and trust His Word.

It cannot come from power 

         Or in displays of force and might        

But through the workings of  His Spirit

in the dark hours of the night.

Quartet Hairdo

 Oh, won't you give me a quartet hairdo

so I can sing for the Lord.

 Jus' got to have a quartet hairdo

to sing His praises in  one accord.

The kind that's all slicked back 

and smooth on the side with a swoop and a ball cap bill.

Matching suits and high-heeled shoes

and I'm lookin' fit to kill!

How can I reach you?

How can I tell you?

How can I show you I care?

My arms are not long enough,

my voice is not strong enough,

my heart wants so much to share.

 

Here's how I'll reach you!

Here's how I'll tell you!

Here's how I'll show  you I care:

I'll tell you, Look to Jesus, my Saviour,

there's rest in His favor,

He's waiting your burdens to bear.

Excerpt Poem from 

Today... In Anna's Garden

(A collection of 17 poems written for my granddaughter Anna)

Lightning Bugs

From my swing in Anna's Garden

I watch the sun go down

And as it does I see the flash

Of nature's little clowns.

~~~

They dart back and forth in front of me

Above and underneath...

And the only way I know they're here 

Is by the flashes from their rear!!!

~~~

Today is their first appearance...

Today, the 6th of May

I'm sure they've quite a schedule

As they flash along their way.

~~~

What a treat they are to see

As I sit beneath this tree.

Flashing all along their way---

The lightning bug brigade.

~~~

What's that they're wearing?

Can't really tell from where I sit.

But if see I could, and up real close...

I think that this would be

The perfect little outfit

for these sparks of electricity:

~~~

Tiny little garments

in Navy, Brown and Black

Tailored special...just to fit

with a slit right up the back...

~~~

There they are...

I now can see...

Complete with belts and buttons

They're wearing TRENCHCOATS!!!

OH MY!!! OH ME!!!
