VIEWING THE MOUNTAIN FROM ABOVE

Struggles are real in this life here we know,

Climbing mountains to the top from below

The challenge lies at our heart’s door within

Will you take the path of life, or path of sin?

The decision is ours, and it is ours, it is alone.

The easy pathway, or that filled with stones.

Ah, you say, the smooth path seems so right.

So perfect that one has not the need to fight.

To reach to the top of the mountain on high

So perfect one traveling it would seem to fly.

So much one need not as to put up a fight.

But please don’t’ be deceived so my friend.

It can lead your life to an untimely fatal end.

Look upon the path filled with jagged edges.

Look do you see upon also the many ledges?

Now forward go praying as you journey on

Taking Jesus hand, leaning of the Lord alone.

JOSHUA 24:15 (KJV) AND IF IT SEEM EVIL UNTO YOU TO SERVE THE LORD, CHOOSE YOU THIS DAY WHOM YE WILL SERVE; WHETHER THE GODS WHICH YOUR FATHERS SERVED THAT WERE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FLOOD, OR THE GODS OF THE AMORITES, IN WHOSE LAND YE DWELL: BUT AS FOR ME AND MY HOUSE, WE WILL SERVE THE LORD.

2 CORINTHIANS 6:2 (KJV) “(FOR HE SAITH, I HAVE HEARD THEE IN A TIME ACCEPTED, AND IN THE DAY OF SALVATION HAVE I SUCCURED THEE: BEHOLD, NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME; BEHOLD, NOW IS THE DAY OF SALVATION.)”

TILL WE MEET AGAIN

The Lord our anchor this night by you and me

Now as each other’s side we must now leave

Together our hearts are entwined by love divine

We will meet again we know in just a matter of time

Trusting our Father above knows what lies ahead

All our worries to him we will gladly give instead

THE MASTERS PROMISE

This too will pass I hear my Saviour’s voice say alas.

THROUGH TEARS OF PAIN LOOK TO THE LIGHT,T

FOR THE DAWN THAT COMES AFTER THE DARKEST OF NIGHTS.

MY CHILD I AM WITH THEE THOUGH THE VALLEY BE LOW,

WILL YOU TRUST ME WHEREVER YOU SHOULD GO?

FOR I SHALL NEVER FORSAKE THE SHEEP IN MY FOLD,

IF IT WERE NOT TRUE, I WOULD HAVE TOLD YOU SO.

YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU WOULD FEEL THIS WAY,

BUT YOU SHALL OVERCOME THIS TOO, TO BE WITH ME ONE DAY.

THE GIFT OF A FRIEND

Each time I came to your home to visit

There we would sit and pass the time

You made me feel like family indeed

Oh, so many memories, so very divine.

You would smile and laugh so sweet

Lightening my day as we talked together

Your gentle nature shown in your eyes

Indeed, we were two birds of a feather

We were like children happy as can be

With no need to pretend with one another

Open and honest right down to our core

Treating me as had my very own mother.

You always had time to spend with me

Never possibly could there ever be again

Even when the miles separated us apart

My gentle, loving, kind beautiful friend

Remembering our good times together in past

Memories together will always bring a smile

And the love of a true friend I truly cherish,

Though we must part, it is but for a little while

LIFE’S FLEETING THOUGHTS or WHAT DO YOU DO WITH A PERSON LIKE ME, GOD?

I DON’T HAVE A CLUE IN THE WORLD HOW I’M GOING TO MAKE IT TO THE NEW WORLD TO COME

I FIND MYSELF WANTING TO DO RIGHT AND THEN THERE I GO, AND EVERYTHING COMES UNDONE

AND THE QUESTION OF ‘HOW MUCH LONGER DO YOU THINK YOU HAVE LAYS HEAVY ON MY MIND

COULD BE THAT EVEN NOW I AM PAST THE POINT OF NO RETURN EVEN AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME

I’M LOSING HOPE FOR I SEE NO CHANGE HARD AS I MIGHT TRY, I JUST SEEM WORSE THAN BEFORE

TOO MUCH OF THE ‘OLD MAN’ LEFT INSIDE WEARING, TEARING DOWN, MAKING IT AWFULLY SORE

I’VE BEEN AT THIS OVER SEVEN DECADES YET NOT ABLE TO SEE THE LIGHT I SO DESPARTELY NEED

LORD, HELP ME, I’M BEGGING YOU, TAKE PITY, BRING ME TO YOU SO AT YOUR SIDE I CAN EVER BE

I CAN’T GET TO YOU; I’VE TRIED AND FAILED SO MANY TIMES OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND AGAIN

FIGHTING, FALLING DOWN  QUICKLY SOON GROWING WEARY, BODY MIND AND SPIRIT WEAR THIN

I  CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY IT’S SO EASY THAT I FAIL TO KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS YOU GAVE

LORD, I DON’T WANT TO HAVE THIS AS MY TESTIMONY I DIE WITH, WHEN I AM LAYING IN MY GRAVE

I CAN’T LEAD OTHERS WITHOUT FEELING GUILTY KNOWING I AM NOT THE PERSON I PROFESS TO BE

NO GOOD WITHIN MY BEING IS SEEN, ITS’ SO OVERWHELMINGING THAT MY SOUL WANTS TO FLEE

I DON’T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE OF THE TORTURE I CAN BEAR  MY MORAL BEING IS DECLINING

TRULY THIS IS ABOUT THE LAST THING I MIGHT SAY OR DO FOR SURELY, I AM NOT FAR FROM DYING

WHAT THIS POEM MIGHT DO I’LL NEVER REALLY KNOW BUT I NEEDED TO EXPRESS MYSELF TO YOU

YOUR WORD TELLS EACH ONE OF US ALL MANKIND INDEED IN THIS LIFE WHAT ONE OUGHT TO DO

SPEAK FROM OUR HEARTS TO A LOVING FATHER WHO PROMISES NEVER TO FORSAKE OR  DEPART

BY PRAYING, YOUR WORD AND OUR WORD COME TOGETHER INSIDE CHAMBERS OF ONE’S HEART

PITY FROM OTHERS I DESIRE NOT, THEY HAVE THEIR OWN DEMONS DAILY WITH WHICH TO WREST

SO MUCH MORE TRAILS, TRIBULATIONS AND HEARACHES THAN I COULD EVER THINK TO EVEN GUESS

AND AGAIN, I JUST WONDER HOW IN THE WORLD I COULD BE SO SELFISH TO KEEP THINKING OF ME

I MUST DECEASE WHILE YOU MUST INCREASE, NO OTHER WAY WILL THIS SOUL HEAVENS GATES SEE

AT THE CROSSROADS OF ‘NOW OR NEVER’ IS THE CROSSROAD I VIEW WITHING THIS MORTAL MIND

LORD,YOUR PITY I WOULD ASK, FOR YOU SAID YOU TAKE PITY UPON MANKIND SO NAKED AND BLIND

MAY MY EYES SEE, EARS HEAR, MY NAKED BODY BE CLOTHED,  FOCUSED ON THE WAY, TRUTH, THE LIFE

FOR I KNOW THAT THIS COUILD BE MY LAST DAY HERE ON PLANET EARTH, PERHAPS EVEN THIS NIGHT
