Genuine Apology

Promises on bended knees
Sweet loving words to hear
Do not bring marriage bliss
Nor make the bond more dear.

Diamonds on some rings
Dinners by candlelight
Red roses, wine, and things
Do not make infidelity right.

Diversions from the Mrs
By a husband gone astray
Will soon blow up her fuses
Apologies wasted away.

Actions must prove sincerity
And commitment with no lies
Forgiveness demanding change
Without it, that's compromise.

Blackberry Blue

A distinct color
Is blackberry blue
Its blackness shaded
In silvery shine
Like Bahrain pearls
In deepest hue
Light changes it
Like sweet dark wine.

Words Become Lifestyles

Words make the man
And reflect what his heart contains

Thoughts become words
And when spoken they remain

Words that are repeated
Become habits in the end

Habits formed become lifestyles
That later may be hard to amend.

Communication

Communication is touching
Another with sincerity
Not just with verbal teaching
Conversing absently.
It is the human spirit
That reaches forth with care
Words so laden with it
In love and knowledge share.
Crossing space and distance
Communication frees
It is the golden chance
For friendship and for peace.

Example

What we feed to the children
In words, actions, and example
Will later form them in the end
Into better or bitter people.

The attitudes and views we give
Our children will readily observe
Into vessels they are thus received
These things of life they absorb.

Our many words and our little ways
They will influence and they will mold
As we see the youth's passing days
We reproduce the children we now hold.

So with care and with much diligence
Let us all take heed what we say
And with greater watchfulness hence
Guard our thoughts and actions today.

'We teach what we know,
we reproduce what we are.'

Empty Cans

The foolish man speaks
With the loudest voice
Like little empty cans
That make the most noise.

Those who are hollow,
No wisdom to be found
But full vessels we know
Can silence their own sound.

The more the words
The less, the meaning-
For silence accords
A deeper understanding.

'Silent waters run deep.'

'A fool multiplies words.'

'When words are many, sin is not absent.'

Words of Grace

Words that uplift another
Are words God blessed with grace

They leave the hearer feeling better
And show respect for the human race.

Words, not curses, bear eternal fruit
And multiply the goodness in life

These words should then be our pursuit
Not cursing words that will cause strife.

The Fruit of Our Lips

How permanent like words
Each passing day leaves its mark

How a great fire in the woods
Can be made by a little spark

How easy to bring forth Harmony
By lighting our words with grace

How great a little Kindness can be
Spread forth in the human race.

Fan the flame of goodness and love
Speak words of forgiveness and care

Usher the blessing from God above
The fruit of our lips these bear.

Just One Wish

I have but one wish and it is this:
That a ship of dreams will one day take me
To where you are and there to kiss
Each other in love, so affectionately.

To finally gaze in your loving eyes
To hold you in a sweet tender embrace
And to feel my heartbeat suddenly rise
As I see the love shown there in your face.

I have this one wish and I hope it's granted
That together we will be and remain that way,
There's nothing in this world I have ever wanted
Than to be with you Dearest, for all my days!

Three Words: 'I Love You

Three words that carry so much meaning
'I love you' - is such a profound expression
Of the total surrender to Love's conquering
And a lasting commitment of sweet affection.

'I love you' is such a faithful declaration
Three simple words with a binding promise
To give the best with unselfish devotion
To one who is loved and desired to please.

When uttered in deepest sincerity
'I love you' can cross the highest mountains
It can sail the distance of many seas
And the very existence of Time be in vain.

Three words that may sometimes gravely cost
Even the lives of star-crossed lovers
Like Romeo and Juliet whose lives were lost
In their 'I love you' sighed in death forever.

Prayer, Conversing With God

A conversation made with Him
Before I call He answers -
He knows me so well, it seems
He always listens to my prayers.

For while I am yet speaking
My loving God, He will hear
All of me before Him baring
With nary a doubt nor any fear.

'Call unto Me and I will show you
Great and mighty things'
All of this I have proven true
So with all my trust I keep on praying.

I pass the waters and have not drowned
Went through the fire and was not burned
The Mighty Yahweh had me owned
His Love and Faithfulness I yearned.

Before they call I will answer, while they are yet speaking,
I will hear.'
ISAIAH 65: 24

Time To Speak, Church!

There is a time to be meek
And to silently hold one's peace
But now is the time to speak
When the Truth is diluted like this
To accept what is wrong is weak
And to compromise just to please
God's principles are all we seek
For His wisdom will never cease.

So I do not pretend to agree
To those who may think I offend
Though all men were made to be free
Not all freedom is right, dear friend
Today we all need the Truth to see
That a man with a woman in marriage lend
What God had planned in matrimony
Not the kind we consider now a trend.

A marriage is what they have they say
Two people of the same sex tie the knot
A bond or partners, a union of gays
But a 'marriage' I say - it is not.
What is wrong then cannot be right today
No matter what human laws have forgot
What God has said will always stay
When He says it's a sin - that's a lot!

Of too high taxes
A man dropped his plane

Take Two

Angry goodbyes can break our hearts
Quick words released, they can resound

And open doors where Love departs
Then fleeting Joy cannot be found.

But like the dove that flies back home
One word of 'Sorry' can bring healing

Like a second read of a much-loved poem
That word returns the loving feeling.

A Kind of Love Not Needed

Flickering shadows
Memories of the past
Gray tomorrows
Promises do not last
Fading words you said
Leave sad empty feelings
The Love I gave not needed
Had led to our parting
Regrets may come too late
And reality is now here
The heart must face its fate
With goodbye... falls the tear.

Guilt's Toy

A chicken does not lay a chick,
It lays an egg.
A cartooned heart can never beat
Though it is red.
A dozen bells grouped up
Can never be a gong
And sounds mixed just enough
Can never birth a song.
Doves that fly to many places
Do not make each landing 'home'
Copied titles and some phrases
Cannot be woven to a 'poem'
Words and verses when stolen
May give a moment's joy
But mark this truth that in the end
That messed up life is Guilt's own toy.

Brokenness

Unless the grain of wheat
Falls to the ground and dies

Change won't be complete
Because from there, a new growth lies.

Unless a man be broken
And shed off from his old Self

Molding cannot be given
On the jar there on Life's shelf.

On the clay there must be a crushing
For the new jar to be molded

There must be renewed pounding
For the metal to be welded.

New life can never sprout
From the seed that remains whole

And fruit cannot come out
Without brokenness of Soul.

'My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.'
(PSALM 73: 26)

A Man Reaps What He Sows

Careless intent reaps much discord
And many a time, it harvests offense

A bitter root grows from our words
As the wounds it cuts are truly immense.

And God will not be mocked
A man shall reap all that he sows

Man's words be weighed the Good it lacked
For God does hear and knows.

My Valentine Is Blue

The day of Hearts approaching
And you, I will be missing

That Valentine card is still here
Catching my every tear.

For another love had taken
And left me lonely and forsaken

Words on cards are never true
My Valentine isn't red... but blue.

If only words can deliver
This card's beloved Sender

What a great day Valentine!
Same as last year -

when you were mine.

What A Friend Is

What is a friend?

One who stands with you
Through all the good and bad
Support you all the way through
Be there when you are sad.

One who can forgive
With whom you don't pretend
Though you have no wealth to give
He is always a true friend.

But when mistakes you make
He's ready with correction
He may hurt but not forsake
And will show the right direction

A friend has 'agape' love
You can always be who you are
He is a gift from God above
His loyalty goes very far.

'Wounds from a friend can be trusted,
but an enemy multiplies kisses.'

Faithfulness

When someone whom you love
Does the same rash things you do
And so you feel a similar pain
In life, that is equality... and true.

For words and actions done or said
Mean nothing substantially concrete,
Unless one swears upon all dead
With faithfulness, seals Love complete.

Cherish the love you have that's rare
Love is a gold coin you spend only once
Foolish games and times you're unfair
May later forfeit your one last chance.
