My name is Mark. I’m just an old country boy. I give God all the Glory
My heart He filled April 26, 2021, with rhyming joy.

God showed up and gave the gift of rhyming to me
I now share it with all who listen for His Beauty to see

Mark my Words

The Greatest Gift

Why I write, I’ll share with you,
A journey deep, a purpose true,
To bring forth words from soul to page,
To touch the hearts of every age.

I write to share the thoughts inside,
To heal, to soothe, to be a guide,
To bring a smile, a tear of joy,
Or moments sad, yet not destroy.

My poems live within the mind,
Yet fully breathe when they are kind,
To those who read and feel the weight,
Of emotions shared, of love and fate.

For poems are not complete alone,
They thrive when hearts have fully known,
The gift of words, from soul to pen,
A whisper sent from Heaven, then.

The greatest gift a poet sees,
Is knowing words can set minds free,
To stir the heart, inspire flight,
This is why, dear friend, I write.

For God’s Honor and Glory

God Is So Good

God is so good
more faithful than morning light,
more steady than mountains,
more tender than the quiet night.

He is taking me places
I never dreamed I’d stand
paths I once feared to travel,
now guided by His hand.

He opened doors I never knocked on,
He spoke peace where I felt fear,
He turned valleys into victory
and wiped away every tear.

I once wondered if He heard me
if my prayers reached past the sky.
But now I see His fingerprints
in every how and why.

Not every step has been easy,
not every season felt kind
but through every storm and struggle,
He reshaped my heart and mind.

Now I walk with quiet confidence,
with gratitude understood
because God is so, so faithful
and God is so, so good.

And where He leads, I’ll follow,
with trust—not fear—instead,
for the road behind reminds me:
He’s already gone ahead. ✨

For God’s Honor and Glory

Daily Devotional: Our Father Knows Best
📖 Psalm 23:4 – “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

Life often leads us through valleys—dark seasons where fear whispers, grief presses in, and uncertainty clouds our path. But even in the shadowy places, our Heavenly Father walks with us. The valley may feel lonely, but it is never empty. His presence is our peace. His rod protects, and His staff guides. He knows the way through every trial.

We might question why certain hardships are allowed or why the path must be steep. But the Good Shepherd sees what we cannot. He leads not to harm us, but to grow us—into deeper trust, into greater strength, into closer fellowship with Him.

Our Father doesn’t just watch over us—He walks with us. And when we stumble, His rod and staff don’t punish, they protect and restore. That’s how we know: Our Father knows best.

Reflection:
Where in your life are you walking through a valley right now? Take time to pause, breathe, and remember: He is with you. You are not alone, and His comfort is real.

Prayer:
Father, thank You for walking with me, even through the darkest valleys. Help me trust Your hand when I cannot see Your plan. Lead me with Your rod and staff, and teach me to rest in the comfort of Your presence. I believe You know best. Amen.
