Life and Death

From the moment we’re born
We start to die
I bet that’s the real reason
That at that moment we start to cry

So we begin to mourn
Our final breath
Knowing every beginning has to end
So it is with life and death

We board the train
For a life full of fun
But soon realize that a dark cloud
Is blocking out the sun

We begin to run
So we can hide
But no matter what we do
In death’s face we collide

So we let our fear become a thief
By allowing it to steal
The very life that God created us to live
As gracious, loving and real

God does not want us to fear what’s up ahead
Nor anything that might cause our bodies to become dead
For there is hope beyond our final breath
So it is with life and death

Fly To You

Here is another poem from my forthcoming book: Popcorn: Poems You Can Munch On.  Enjoy and be blessed!!!!!  Jerry

Fly To You

This road is long and hard

How I worry and how I fret

The labor doesn’t seem to end

My body is covered in sweat

How I long for the day

When I can finish this race

But until that day comes

I’ll just depend on Your grace

So I’ll dig deeper in Your word

And by faith believe what it says to be true

I know when I take my final breath

I’m gonna fly to You

Each day brings another chance

For me to display Your glory

Each day brings another way

To get rid of all shame and all worry

I will trust in You

To bring me through all this pain

One day all my loss

Will be turned to gain

There will come a day

When you will break open the sky blue

And in that moment

I know I will fly to You

Rain

As Promised in the last blog, here is another poem from my book I just submitted to be published .  Enjoy! 

Rain

I love to wake up on the mountain top
And breathe in that crisp fresh mountain air
Basking in the warmth of the bright sunshine
While breathing out a prayer

From a faraway distance
I see a dark cloud beginning to near
And suddenly without warning
My heart becomes paralyzed with fear

Wash me in Your grace again
Please protect me from the pain
But even if I go thru it
I know it will be for my gain
Because a soul can never grow
Without some time in the rain

I don’t know if I can handle this
With the lightning aimed right for my soul
But little-by-little
Your peace begins to speak to me
As the thunder begins to roll

As the wind starts to blow around me
And the rain begins to hit my face
Your grace like a warm blanket surrounds me
And it gives me the strength
To stand tall in this place

Here

Well, as I promised here is a poem from my upcoming book.  Hope you enjoy it, and it ministers to you!  God bless you!

Hello sad eyes
Full of tears
Struggling with a heart full of sorrow
And a head full of fear

Since the day she died
It’s like you became frozen in time
Not living life anymore
You’re beginning to stink of your own slime

So strip off those dirty rags
And step into love’s shower
And be cleansed from all your fear
Don’t you dare give up
Start living in My power
For I still have a lot for you to do
Here

Yes, what happened was tragic
Yes, it was quite a shame
But my child, you are not to blame
Don’t you know that she is at peace
And she’s resting in the palm of My hand?
It's time for you to dust yourself off and stand
