Savor The Moments

Minutes, hours, days,
Moments come and then fade away.
Season thrive and then they change
The world revolves and life goes on
Our childhood laughter becomes a faint sound
Muffled by the years that move us along
Good times become distant memories
As quick as they come they fade
Though it seemed like they would forever stay
We look back and say wasn’t that yesterday?
Time has a way of rushing us on.
Dragging us forward to the vast beyond
This place called future we all long for
It’s in the next minute, day, or open door
The past is a place valued immensely
We all long to relive it’s happy memory
It’s this era called present we tend to skip over
So busy looking ahead or over our shoulder
We forget that it’s now that makes the past
What we do here is what will last
Cherish the moments, spend time with your friends
Because the time you have now
You won’t have again

A Reason To Stay

I didn't want you to get bored reading all my rookie pieces so I'm throwing in one of my newer poems. I were this one night when I just felt a real urgency to give a message to the youth. It seemed like all the young people in my assembly were focusing on those that had  left us and what we needed to do about that. I sat down at my computer with a heavy spirit and the words just came..... A Reason To Stay 8/12/13 The words I pen, on this page before me, are written with my deepest conviction . As I struggle for a way to convey them, I hope I can portray my spirit of passion. It's with great emotion and words of prayer, I write this epistle to the youth of my day. I request to you who's reading this that you would take heed to the words that I say.     It seems that in the darkness of the valley lately we are losing sight Of the very reason that we work so hard to keep our torches bright. So what could be the cause of a distraction so great T...

No Light

Just a quick thought with a rhyme. Yes I know it has a Dr. Suess flow to it. HAHA. You might have to read it twice to comprehend it. I wrote it and I still have to read it through twice. Well enjoy!! What if there was no light? There’d be no wrong then, right? And if there’s no wrong then there’s no right. And where there’s no right there can’t be light. And without the light we have no sight. The whole world is dark as night. So if there’s no me and there’s no you doing what God has called us to do. Then there’s no light, no wrong, no right. In essence there is no fight. So be the light you’re called to be. The kind that helps the blind to see. 8/16/14

Remember Lot's Wife

Remember Lot’s wife Luke 17:32 says When saved out of sin she turned back instead She longed for the life from which she’d been freed For the things she’d left in her heart she grieved So she disobeyed the Lord’s command To never look back to that evil land She was weak so she took a chance And lost her life in that one little glance The Lord told the rest of the family to leave the plain He tried to save them from inevitable pain But they too struggled with leaving the city So it seemed the Lord on them had pity To a nearby place by an angel they were led Realizing too late they should’ve obeyed God instead So many times God saves us from destruction And we still fail to heed His exact instructions It’s not enough to partially obey It’s not for us to choose what’s okay It’s simply our job to do as we’re told It’s the only way we’ll come forth as pure gold How can we look back after the glory...
