a poem by me,

Not cancer, flu, cold or blister,

Not my brother nor my sister,

Not my lifetime partner... no,

Not my worst day of woe,

But it's me smart ol' me,

My worst and meanest enemy.

Haiku:

Just think about it,

Peace and joy come from true prayer,

Nothing else ...really.

Title: The Husband The Dad
I never sailed at ship at sea,
I never climbed a mount,
I never ran for miles and miles,
Some fears I won't surmount.

I never parachuted,
Or even bungie jumped,
I never slept out in the open,
Most times I have been stumped.

My adventure is to love you,
That's my ship at sea,
My achievement is to show you God,
A great explorer I'll be.

A Haiku;
By now said the tree,
I should be taller, stronger
Sapling said ..you are

2011-11-12T09:49:00.000-08:00

Appointed times and places I must be,

It's for my good I lovingly comply,

When hard times come I'll never ask God why,

The bad that ever comes is good for me.

The biggest enemy I'll ever see,

It's me, still sin's a difficult deny

It's me. to random comes my smiling eye,

E'en know I am a christian thourghly.

Being in Gods kingdom changes life,

There's plenty faith and hope and love for all,

Kill, destroy and steal will n'er come near,

You rest now be at peace give up the strife

So now prepare for God, I heard HIS call

On Fathers narrow path I will not fear.

2011-09-05T15:34:00.000-07:00

And now another venture of prayer,

will start this new new day,

I'm hopeful I can ascend to where,

you are LORD if I may.

Troubles come with no path clear ahead,

I'd like to know, i'd like to know.

But results are the Fathers results,

And repairs are the Father fixes,

So on I go for I heard him.

I remember.

If I forget

2011-09-05T15:32:00.000-07:00

If I refrain from looking for the rain,

If I forget to sit and soak some sun,

If that e'er happens I will be the one,

To know my life that day did have no gain.

Forget to smile at you and I look plain,

If I decide in life I haven't won,

I'll know that day I left some tasks undone,

I'll backtrack off that horrible path if Vain.

A thankful outlook is a treasure great,

The ones have this have a hope, a rock.

These full wise hearts have joy beyond their years,

Though trouble comes it ne'er will change their state.

I often look and take my fruitful stock,

Of joy or sadness what creates my tears?

---By me----

Somewhere Between

2011-08-18T17:39:00.000-07:00

I have the rightousness of Christ,

The fullness I'll have some day

HIS rightousness freely priced,

Oh fill me Father ..yay

But it seems somewhere between holy and depraved I sit..

Somewhere between glory and sin I run my marathon..

The great fan club i had is gone,

the only member me ...is not any more.

Sill I thank God and I give HIM my gift

Tenacity.

quiet listening

Why play make-believe?

You are what you'll grow to be,

Says the Redwood tree.

King and Priests

2011-07-23T13:20:00.000-07:00

a poem: In my free hymn style. The first four verses in a 3 , 4 pentameter, hymn style rhyming as you can. And the last 5 or 6 lines in a free style with a one or two word ending sentence

In my mind I am a King,

With honor, integrety.

I stride through life with joy I sing,

Praising Gods soveriegnty.

But when I begin to look,

and then I see actually,

It seems I am thwrated and foiled.

But I do know who I am not:

I am not a devourer and loser.

I win.

A haiku:

I remember not,

The true beauty once beheld,

Cycle of forget.

2011-05-30T07:41:00.000-07:00

This is a free hymn poem, a style I made up...
We love you LORD with all our heart,
But we must now confess,
We see you dimely only in part,
a miracle a mystery sucess.

I often wonder how this can happen,
We know we belong with the Father,
And surely we know the Father only in part,
Yet we love HIM so much,
This is only one of Heavens great treasures.
Just wait.

haiku: What I learned....
HE pulls all the strings,
And HE can hide very well,
Even when HE 's found.

‎2:30 am haiku;
Sleep has sped away,
Wakeful with a thankful in heart,
God is good INDEED.

Look beyond this day oh man with joy,
You actions now will reap to you the truth,
How did you love and heal the old the youth?
You think your joy will change oh wonder boy?

One of the only things we can take out of this life is our character. Treat it as your treasure, my fruits of the ground.

the permanent vacation;

An empty house no people flies or fleas,

The dishes they get done in minutes now,

My dinner is still cooked for three, somehow,

I'm happy 'cause my hearts near redwood trees.

It's spring now where I live but Oh deep freeze,

There is a coldness here a sacred cow,

To bluntness full of lies they'll all kowtow,

To meet one full of love is a rare fresh breeze.

My Dad had tried for years to prosper here,

I finally get the message years to late,

If struggle is our lot I'll go to where,

The hand of God made beauty to endear,

East side Detroit no more I'll take your bait,

In Redwoods I will sing The LORDS good Prayer.

2011-02-06T13:35:00.002-08:00

My noisy silence,

tells me I am not perfect,

I'm so noisy, shhhh

A poem from Pslam 17

2011-02-06T08:38:00.000-08:00

What do I hold in high esteem and treasure?

And is it right to make this valuable?

and should this wond'rus thing make my life full?

Oh did I build a lie filled life of pleasure?

You see my belly's full I have some leisure,

My children satisfy my life's not dull,

I'll pass on stuff and that's commendable.

My portion in this life is of good measure.

King David said that he'll be satisified,

when he awakes- his likeness is like HIS,

He'll see the righteousness upon Gods face,

I think a greater goal no man has tried,

so off I go to change my goal to this,

to Dwell under HIS wings, be filled with grace.

Who?

2011-01-01T17:08:00.000-08:00

When where,what,why ask?

You know the answer, just think.

wisdom freely gives

2010-12-30T06:51:00.000-08:00

Just how can I see?

I forget my mirror face.

At times I just sigh.

The Christian

2010-11-20T20:26:00.000-08:00

It is the best decision one can make,

begin each morning;start a brand new day.

A gift another chance, past flee away,

don't even visit Mr. pasts old wake.

If you just woke this morning bake a cake.

And celebrate and laugh and maybe play,

another chance you have, yippee yay!,

to grow in love for God and praise and pray.

You see we're creatures of eternity.

We'll live for ever ever and then some more.

Our Father don't make junk not a bit.

So get yourself together for you see,

though your body's wore and tore and sore

The treasure is your bond with God don't quit

My Simple Song

2010-11-07T07:19:00.000-08:00

I think I'll begin again,

I think I'll try again,

As I have a thousand times before,

Sure I'll fail but in a million years,

I'll still be on this road,

Walking along singing a song.

Not many are like me,that have fail plenty,

But I vowed to try and try and try,

I'll walk with God the best I can

On this road this road,

Walking along, singing a song.

When you see me walk on by,

Just know I'm giving it a try,

I'm smiling and hopeful in my mind,

I may not feel this way,

But I'm walking this rough road

Limping along. singing a new song.

Cause I heard his voice one day,

He assured me he's the way

He assured me He's the truth and the life.

Just by the depth of his voice

I know I'll always be on this road,

Jogging along singing his new song.

a sonnet for Antonette

2010-11-04T15:33:00.001-07:00

My song of Antonette:

When I imangine blessed Mary I,

Can see that she would have to be so great

She would have to raise HIM t'was her fate,

Her love and wisdom one ne'er can deny.

I see another MARY in my minds eye,

She knows just when to act and when to wait,

Her love and wisdom wins she's ne'er irate,

My daughters talent's high as the wondrus sky.

I know the hand of God is on Anns life,

She has great peace, she shines HIS hope to all,

When she's around all things will turn out fine,

She'll make a blessed mother blessed wife,

She has great love for family that's her call,

Gods ways in Ann they perfectly entwine.

Scotts turn, the sixth son

2010-07-10T17:23:00.003-07:00

There was a young hero named Scott,

An artists touch he has got

He takes care of business

He plays with all coolness,

Our gift our God has brought

oil limericks

2010-07-05T03:13:00.000-07:00

There was a big oil leak,

It went on for more than a week,

They dispursed the oil,

Causing nature to spoil,

Now I think our out look may look bleak.

whats the little fishes gonna do?

the're looking for food in goo,

I guess they'll die.

bye little fishies bye,

your neighborhood turned black from blue,

There was an oil spill,

It came from a long long drill

But the must have forgot

A spill it is not,

WAKE UP it's not the time to chill

there could a hurrician that is black,

and it could be right on track,

to rain on our lakes,

we can't afford mistakes

this is oil we have to attack!

there was an avenger named God,

who in his wisdom gave angels a nod,

let the gulf now turn black,

cause true leadership they lack,

their wisdom is all a facade.

there is one that knows what to do,

he has the right break through,

but he's not in charge,

so this gush will get large,

I say find him this man and his crew.

The president, he is a smart man

He doing what ever he can

He has a clue,

About what to do,

So this is your oil battle plan?

There was once a country with hope

But they drilled the continental slope,

The equiptment got broke

There was oil and smoke,

Now this country can't cope

There was some oil from BP

Somehow it leaked in the sea,

"Who cares we're still rich,

This is just a small glitch",

said the men in charge with glee.

There once was a people that played,

They hardly ever prayed,

The big leak got bad,

Most never got sad,

In their happy little world they stayed.

Some on the coast could not work,

Cause this oil thing went berserk,

They were sad they were mad,

Oh and this was bad,

BP's shareholders ne'er lost their smirk

There is a young Chris with game,
His demeanor though looks pretty tame,
but when he gets going,

His valor start showing,
He gives honor to his surname.

A sure footed youth He was,
This Eric showed peace because,
His discernment is keen,
The Devils lies easily seen,
He's awesome... that's what he does.

A young pizza maker named Mike,
Made pizza's that everyone liked,
He's promoted one day,
To manager... they say,
The best pizzas are still made by Mike.

There is a talent named Nick,
Who can find any lost thing quick,
One day he'll find gold,
What a sight to behold,
outsmarting that Leprechaun Mick.

There is a true genius named Luke,
Who's success is surely no fluke,
when things get real tough,
He has the right stuff,
The girls also say He's cute.

Rev 21:23
And the city had no need of the sun, neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory of God did lighten it, and the Lamb [is] the light thereof.

During the night time,
Do flowers forget the sun?
Can we forget God?

Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Rom 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.

YOU will not murmur.
It's His rules, His way, His grace.
Surely, word, fosho.

1Cr 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
1Cr 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these [is] charity.

Haiku

Hiddin the beauty,
Eyes see not what the mind hides.
I see. It looks dark.

Hero of mine

2009-10-06T15:46:00.000-07:00

It's like the night time when the sun should shine,
It's like it's cloudy on brightest day,
I see the glimpses of the rainbow's ray,
Only when I pray oh Hope Divine.

Deaths shadow valley twisted me like twine,
I prayed a prayer of praise with out delay,
Devourer was then rebuked away,
Twas by the Lord of Hosts hero of mine.

From that moment on I changed my mind,
For I heard HIS voice in mine own ears,
The few words that he said baptized my soul,
HIS voice had depth, command was loving kind,
I'm glad HE is my shepherd, glad with tears,
No burdens now, rejoice I will be whole.

narrow gate

Mat 7:13 "Enter by the narrow gate; for wide [is] the gate and broad [is] the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it.

Mat 7:14 Because [fn] narrow [is] the gate and difficult [is] the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

Haiku;

So comfortable,

It's a wide easy straight road,

Not narrow and rough.

Lord Jesus says there are few that find it. In Noah's day it was only 8 people.

Luk 12:27 Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

Luk 12:28 If then God so clothe the grass, which is to day in the field, and to morrow is cast into the oven; how much more [will he clothe] you, O ye of little faith?

Luk 12:29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind.

Luk 12:30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: and your Father knoweth

Arrayed with glory
And Solomon was not close
Lilies like themselves

Rev 3:18

Pslam 27:4
One [thing] have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple

Mortal man is beautifully made,
But Gods beauty is more.
children playing growing strong,
Gods beauty is more.
A virtuous woman loving and wise,
Gods beauty is more.
The work of your hands and passing it on,
Gods beauty is more
A friend through peace a friend through war,
Gods beauty is more.
The Creatures of land of sea and air,
Gods beauty is more.
Niagara falls and mountain tops,
Gods beauty is more.
Massive stars through endless space
Gods beauty is more

Jesus as a baby,
Fathers beauty.
Jesus growing strong,
Fathers beauty.
Him crucified,
Fathers beauty.
He is risen
Fathers beauty
Jesus Kings of Kings ,
Fathers beauty.
Jesus High priest
Fathers beauty
Father loved us first,
Our Fathers beauty.
Giving us His Kingdom
This is our Fathers beauty.

True Work

2009-08-07T18:02:00.000-07:00

Do waves get fired?
Do the young trees get laid off,
Not when God hires.

Our Honduran friend at work got laid off this week.
I wrote a haiku for him. Whether one is laid off or working, the work of the Father should still go on.

A free verse, my rare attempt

2009-08-02T03:06:00.000-07:00

James 4:5
Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, "The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously"?
Jam 4:6
But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." [fn]
Jam 4:7
Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

2Thessalonians 2:9
The coming of the [lawless one] is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders,

2Th 2:10
and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved.

2Th 2:11
And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie,

2Th 2:12
that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.

A man some how he grows alone
ah that is a myth,
the Fathers hand is seen all over one just has to look,
and never with your blindness, never with your deafness,
for surely pride will say out loud I see and I am healed,
and this great pride we keep secure
this pride our enemy within,
Our Father resists on every count and
sends his guidance always,
He creates the truth and creates delusion for Creator is his name,
we have to know
and see
and hear
and pray to the real Father
this is the true work of our life
work hard oh work hard
Our Fathers story is in the scriptures written between our lines.
And true Love for God cannot be faked or fooled or proud of you,
we're safe through Jesus Loving our Father this is not a myth.
I'm sad that some are knowingly ignorant on the true way to grow,
so sad that in our short 120 years some will never find,
or see
or hear
the real truth
they are stuck in strong, strong delusion,
For Our loving Father sends us what we want,
and He just may tell us that some day.

2Peter 3:3
Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4
And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as [they were] from the beginning of the creation.
2Pe 3:5
For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water:
2Pe 3:6
Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished:
2Pe 3:7
But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition

They say look at me,
From Stars to beasts they're always
Bragging about God

Psa 23:1¶
[[A Psalm of David.]] The LORD [is] my shepherd; I shall not want.
Psa 23:2
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

The prior two verses are is King Davids statement. This is what King David says after he is in green pastures and beside still waters:
1. He restoreth my soul
2. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
3. I will fear no evil
4. in the presence of mine enemies

His soul needs restoring, he walks through and around death, He is tempted to be afraid and he is still in the presence of his enemies.

This haiku helps me understand the 23 rd Pslam and life:

Restful green pastures,
I'm lead beside still waters,
These bugs break my peace.

Isa 40:29
He giveth power to the faint; and to [them that have] no might he increaseth strength.

Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

He also that received seed among the thorns is he that heareth the word; and the care of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, choke the word, and he becometh unfruitful.
Mat 13:23
But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth [it]; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

To much, mabey I am lost,

Jeremiah 17 verse 5 Thus says the LORD: "Cursed [is] the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the LORD.
Jer 17:6 For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, [In] a salt land [which is] not inhabited.

Jer 17:7 "Blessed [is] the man who trusts in the LORD, And whose hope is the LORD.
Jer 17:8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear [fn] when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit.

I will trust upon the Lord,
The river shall meet my roots,
In years of drought, the heats ignored,
My fruit will yield new shoots.

Most of the time he was strong,
Most of the time he thought on what he wanted,
So at times his life was dry,
Living in a wilderness of non friends,
He was hopeful he would see pleasant times.
Nope.

2009-07-06T10:23:00.000-07:00

I wonder how my living will turn out
Our Father sure gives us a joyous end
but selfish ones live curse that God does send
I pray I'll wake like you Lord dispel doubt

And train me in your way your truth and walk
Oh pour the gift tenacity on me
And bless me in The Christs community
So I can be your hands and not all talk

I think I know you only just a bit
My wondrous God you are still to unknown
And magnify your name to help us quit
The worship of false gods with hearts of stone
Oh dwell inside our hearts Gods holy Son
The King and the High priest, your love has won

This is a poem is in a style I made up I call Free Hymm. The first four lines in a hymm style. The next 5 lines are in free style, and this free style part has a one or two word ending.

Because you love me Father God,
I have hope this day,
Because you love me Father God,
no longer can I stray.

No longer am I a loser in the after life.
No longer do I cry bound by chains and anchors.
No longer do I serve a false King.
No longer do I serve a false High Priest
No longer for I put my life in Jesus Anointed.
Because.

Arcata Vacation

2009-06-27T19:04:00.000-07:00

Arcata's misty morning sears me deep,
Coast Redwoods and Sequoias standing tall,
It wakes me to a beauty from a sleep,
a sleep I never knew was there at all,

Arcata's misty morning scent I reap,
the Pine and Eucalyptus blend I fall,
in love with life again I weep,
great works of God on us they did befall.

Pacific's ocean hits the cliffs so steep,
this Moonstone beach its wonders so enthrall,
a little river hits the salt tides neap,
huge boulders from the sand, this is my thrall,
My parents ashes sailed out from this shore
I now see why I walk and just adore

2009-06-27T19:01:00.000-07:00

Have a clue

I really do not have a clue,
if I did I would now do,
something smart and something new,
I'd shut my mouth and act dumb too

2009-06-27T18:55:00.000-07:00

the sight is awesome,
at the edge of this crevasse,
again I fall in

Our Shadow Man

2009-06-27T18:43:00.000-07:00

within my grasp for years and so well versed,
he saw the angles of life's game and then,
with this insight he never lost again,
his poison asps were calmed like infants nursed.

and fame's not sought these men think it's the worst,
it's family first and for these shadow men,
these master gamers have it in their ken,
Yaohushua has said the last are first,

Oh God why would make one such as this?
I think of heavens loss when he was here,
I think Dads heart attack made heavens bliss,
his passing over made the angels cheer,
his life just shows how far I have to go,
that really hasn't his me yet you know.

2009-06-27T18:42:00.000-07:00

The pond is stagnant,
it seems of no use to me,
but it teems with life

2009-06-27T18:24:00.000-07:00

Hippopotamus,
the master of his river,
no money no school.

the old growth forest,
must burn a bit to clean out,
else the fall is great,

as I look you soar,
and I wonder why can't I?
High one walk with me?

The seed appears dead,
It will not grow in this light,
It needs dark and dirt.

What bear would not eat?
what eagle would not fly?
Love, is that my task?

they grow with great care
light, design and love team up,
I see, even weeds?

young turtles beach born,
run for their lives and end up food,
Gods beautiful work

His watchful eye

2009-06-27T18:17:00.000-07:00

I'll abide in full some day,
this hope will never die,
though partially now I run astray,
My shepherds' still close by.

Some live full Kingdom lives,
some get saved on their death bed,
some are stuck just where God puts them,
some have freedom to fly,
whatever it takes Lord of Hosts,
crucify.

The things that are

2009-06-27T18:06:00.000-07:00

The few years I've been alive,
most things are hard for me,
so lost the holy help my strive,
I'm humbled Lord by thee.

my youth was hope for hopeful things,
my youth was fun with playful things,
the hope and the fun and the playful things are put aside,
I am now at times a protector and a guider and a father
for a deep driving purpose,
family.

My Issac's Eyes

2009-06-27T17:44:00.000-07:00

The sunsets never seen with his young eyes,
and ocean waters that he ne'er will touch,
the good friends missed a wife he'd love so much,
so sad for for us we never sad goodbyes.

He'll never feel moms hugs to comfort cries,
missed family dinners, siblings gifts and such,
he'll never feel dads pride or hand shakes clutch,
and ne'er a stone will say here Issac lies.

He was miscarried born my little guy,
lays in his mothers hand a hepleless one,
she looks and cries bout one she didn't know,
I'll see you Issac in the bye and bye
the dad quick looks and sheds a tear my son
Ne'er fly my dear young arrow from my bow

I Sing

2009-06-27T16:55:00.000-07:00

As years pass by I needs Ya's wisdom more,
Us men are oh so drivin to command,
A President or on a soap box stand,
It matters not, menkind just want to roar.

Our Father humbles me no flight, can't soar,
And when I'm snared I pray "God send your hand,
and place me on the Rock from sifting sand
Come honor integrety we fight a war,"

You beast you're not a man, can you still think?
So fat so strong your are a phony King,
for as you steal and kill as you destroy,
your heart grows harder surely you will sink,
A true man worships God to Ya he 'll sing
For men were made to give Our Father joy.
