Wobble Foot


Walking along

And reading his Bible,

The Christian bobbled

Off the path.

The rebuke was very

Soft and warm,

Not at all

A word of Wrath.

A gentle kiss

Upon his cheek.

Drawing him back

To the narrow path

Was the One whom

Good men seek.
————-
Just a bobble,

And that’s so true,

By a well intentioned soul.

But let us strain

To watch our feet,

Lest we miss

The greater goal.

Proper Conversation


I am forced to

Think again

The value of

Earth’s discourse.

Which is greater,

The three dimension,

Or heaven which spreads,

In all direction?

Although it’s fun to

Play the game,

Where logic’s

Lite and breezy.

Better to bear the

Hard light torch,

That sets men’s

Bellies queasy.

So back again to

The work at hand.

No time to

Waste round here.

To speak of

Jesus Christ the King,

Bringing heaven so

Very near.

Faithful Perceptions


So many things to touch and see.

So many things lay out of reach.

The fingers of men will grasp and twist.

But they can never touch what’s His.

Why do you fear, O little flock?

Do you fear the hands of men?

Where are your treasures laid up in stock?

On earth or bound in heaven?

The Living Promise


Ceaseless praise comes from my heart,

The place that was so vile.

The dog returns to what was his,

So was my wandering style.

But God has made a lovely place.

A place He calls His own.

And He will lead me to a place,

That I have never known.

To the Holy Angels


No doubt you listen with great intense;

You who faithfully serve The One of magnificence.

And from your charge you wait to hear,

The praise of the Living One ring in your ear.

Though separation of origin,

And difference in substance,

We serve the same God.

Glory is His!

His name to all is Christ Jesus!

Amen, amen and amen!

The Sun and My Teeth


The Sun comes up and the Sun Goes Down.

So do my teeth, but all around.

The Sun follows its path faithfully.

But my mouth seems to go wherever it please-s.

The Sun doesn’t gossip, it simply perform-s.

How I wish my mouth would establish that norm.
