THE PERFECT PLAN

Dear Lord I often wonder why;
You put the clouds up in the sky.
And what real purpose be -
The separation of land by seas.
Why are animals less than man?
What makes up Your Perfect Plan?
It is hard for us to believe;
Why any man can so deceive;
Himself, his friends, his life so dear,
Because Your Voice he cannot hear.
For looking around at the marvels on Earth,
Studying our life, our tears and mirth,
The wonders that surround us every day:
Should really make us believe and say:
That You exist somewhere above,
That we must extend to You our love,
That faith is the most important part of living.
We should practice prayer and giving;
Respect to You and our fellow man,
And thus complete our part
Of the Perfect Plan

BY THE SEA

THE ROAR
Waves upon the shore.
Proof there is more.

THE SOUND
So profound.
Rustling across the ground.

THE MIND
Searching to find
Serenity of kind.

THE VERSE
Written in reverse.
The mind, the sound, the roar.
Searching for less, finding more.

THE LITTLE ANGELS

God seems to have a way
Of helping Mothers through the day.
For patience often do run thin
And make Her wonder who will win.
But then at night when they are asleep
She thanks The Lord that she can keep
THE LITTLE ANGELS.

NEW LOVE

Every time I fall in love.
I fall for someone new.
And every time I fall in love
I fall in love with you.
