1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
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
