Ride Outside

The grass is a vibrant green.

The sky's undeniably blue.

The sun's shining bright,

Such a beautiful sight,

I'd say I'm alright, wouldn't you? 

Barefoot I go, taking it in.

Breathing the fresh morning air.

Walking along

The birds sing their song

Freeing myself from all cares.

A couple of quails paddle past

Some slimy snails slink on by

The blossoms are bright

The dew catches light

Fluffy clouds scatter all through the sky.

Under a canopy of trees

I hear the water's melodies

The vines on the wall

Invite mystery's call

New wishes and hopes fill my dreams.

Decide to live in the moment

Time doesn't matter so much.

Look at the trees!

Feel the fresh breeze!

Let go of the bustle and rush.

Why worry when there's plenty of good?

Focus on the positive side.

Sure life has tears and frowns

It has ups and downs,

But that's what makes it a ride!

Priceless

Honesty, righteousness, faith, and trust.
Because our character knows we must.
Purity, virtue, without guile.
Heart and mind, undefiled.


True greatness, comes from within.
Sincere love, without sin.
Strong foundation, no regrets.
Breaking all of Satan's nets.


Power, strength, comfort, care.
Assurance that the Spirit's there.
Treasures in heaven, not on earth.
Aware of our divine worth.


Change of thought, and heart, and deed.
Looking for what others need.
Keeping our word whatever cost.
Nurturing those that are lost.


Loving God more than man.
Doing everything we can.
Try these things and you will see,
Priceless is Integrity.

SHINE!

The sky is not the limit,
And neither are the stars,
If you can dream it you can do it,
So dream and reach so far!

You can do it, you can shine,
Your talents are for you,
Here is where we build them,
So that is what you'll do!

This light that is inside of me,
I'm learning how to make it grow,
I know it comes from up above,
I want the world to know!!!

I feel ready to explode with truth,
Working hard, this feels so right!
Work together, to make it go,
We will shine the light!

This light that is inside me,
I know it comes from Him,
I'm learning how to make it grow,
And shine it like its always been.

I'll search for ways to lift others up up up!
And I know what I have will be enou-ou-ough!
And I know now what I'll do,
I'll shine my light now for you!

I feel ready to explode with truth,

I know what I will do,

I will radiate His lasting light, 

And shine it all for you!

Mother's Beacon

First time you meet 

Five fingers twined

Around your one

Moment divine.

Who knew one could

Love one so much, 

Worth more than gold

One single touch.

The days go by

You watch her walk

She starts to laugh

And sing and talk.

The sweetness in

Those precious times

Fill your heart with 

Joy sublime.

You give your best 

To be the one

To help her find 

God's chosen son.

The years fly by

The girl so small

Is now getting

Rather tall.

Her broken hearts

Become yours too.

You must be strong

To help her through.

All dressed in white

You see her go

But not without

The things you know.

A mothers love

So strong and bright

A beacon of 

The purest light.

Wonderful Day to Live

Watermelon juice and dirty feet

Vibrant flowers smelling sweet.

Sitting in the shade of a maple tree

Laughing along and feeling free.

Splashing in the river, walking on logs.

Living discoveries, snails, worms, frogs.

Snacking on Doritos, licking fingers

Hoping this feeling always lingers.

Arms behind our head, gazing at the sky

Watching the fluffy clouds glide by.

This moment is glorious and sublime.

It seems to stand still for a time.

Smiles like sunbeams fill our hearts

Imparting peace that never parts.

Free to love and free to give.

What a wonderful day to live!

Free to Fly

Trapped inside the walls of my mind,

Trying to get out.

But I keep building more brick walls

Of solid fear and doubt.

Looking for one patch of light,

But every time I find

A glimpse of hope, the walls close in.

My trust is left behind.


Every tear drop drowns a smile.
The rain describes my heart.
The clouds of fear surround my soul,
It's tearing me apart.


I cannot get myself out
I'm stuck inside of me.
Will someone help me to escape?
Does someone hear my plea?


As I fall upon my knees
And wait for a reply
I feel a warmth so sweet, so bright,
So strong, and so nearby.


I couldn't get out on my own
But as the time went by
Someone in heaven raised me up,
And freed my soul to fly.

The Night Before The Lord's Return

Here's one for the Easter season. :)

Water droplets scatter 

In the whistling wind.

Trees moan and leaves

Reach for their loss.

Cloudy light glimmers on

Sprinkled spider webs.

Emptiness in

The moonlight's gleam.

Absent glory and truth.

The breeze chills the bone.

Some vital part 

Of life is gone.

The elements yearning

For natures missing peace

Pleading for hope

To fulfill grace.

The crispy mist full air

And wet trembling grass

Waiting, for the

Tomb is empty.
