A better day coming 

Rainbow in South Carolina after Hurricane Ian
There has to be a better day coming
Through this one ill just keep on humming

Dark clouds above, rain and wind lashing at the house
Soon the storm will pass, and it will be, quiet as a mouse

We've been through this many times with GOD before
A rainbow we shall see, showing GOD'S Love more and more

When dark clouds and storms come into your life
Peacefully persist, knowing soon there will be an end to this strife

In the Arms 

Being in the arms of a loved one is the most restful place to be. 
I feel so secure and safe knowing they care for me. 

Our loved ones only last a short while here on earth.
While we humbly go on living to show our worth

For teaching us about GOD and HIS SON JESUS 
HIS eternal Love will never never leave us. 

Being safe in the arms of JESUS on earth or in Heaven above. 
Is worth far far more than anyone's earthly love.

Hurricane coming

Hurricane Ian John Ringling Causeway, Sarasota, Florida September 28, 2022
A Cat four Hurricane is coming around the bend
 It doesn't look like it's going to be my friend 

Marching across Florida, causing much devastation
Fema is being called, to help with many renovations 

We know when they're coming. They can't hide. 
Our biggest mistake, what to do, we can never decide

To leave or stay, to board up the windows and hunker down. 
We just pray we made the right decision, to stay in town

All the cell phones are charged. The flashlights are ready 
Our job now is patiently waiting and staying steady

Don't wait till the storm arrives to pray to GOD Above
He knows what's going to happen but He wants our love.

Written before the arrival
Of Hurricane Ian

Just keep on keeping on 

When you feel down and out. Just keep on keeping on. 
When you are discouraged and have doubt, just keep on keeping on

When things look better and you see light at the end of the tunnel, just keep on keeping on
When you are at the top of the mountain, just keep on keeping on

From the start to the very end, just keep on keeping on
That's the way life is planned my friend, just keep on keeping on

Man in the Mirror 

Who do you see when you look in the mirror 
Does the mirror seem foggy, could it be clearer

Is there a person standing there that you know
Does that person seem distant to your soul

How does one make the image crystal clear
Within me, the answer is so very near

A crystal clear image will produce a clear reflection
Only GOD can rid us, of our imperfection

Are you Listening 

What might you be listening for? Is it something that concerns you?
Is it what you have been waiting for to help get you through?

Most often we wait too late to listen, throwing us into a state of confusion. 
If we had just taken the time to heed, 
we would have avoided this illusion 

Much strife and misunderstanding could be readily avoided.
If we would only take time to listen to those that are anointed.
