If your searching you haven't found it When you find it your life will show it Always be in search of what you can't find Never give up searching in your own mind There are many things to search for there are many hills to climb Never giving up will only give you peace of mind The more you search the more you will find In the end, you will find searching is what made you kind July 7, 2023 MarkWaldrop
My life seems to be made up of a series of fates. Intermingled in between a series of waits Making little sense of life at the time Looking back I see the ladder I began to climb Wisdom comes with age if I allow it to There is no fate at all only God guiding me through July 5, 2023 MarkWaldrop
What kind of attitude do I have is it one that causes me to misbehave Is it one that shows discontent or one that I will be content with to the grave Attitude is the secret to a happy and peaceful life If I show gratitude to all I will have much less strife Being grateful whether I have little or plenty Will surely keep my life from being empty Thank you, God, for the many blessings you have bestowed on me That I may forever have an Attitude of Gratitude for others to see July 5, 2023 MarkWaldrop
In the beginning, there was nothing at all Then God spoke His existence to all First He created the Heavens and earth Not yet finished He will give it much greater worth God said there will be light it was so beautiful and bright It was so good He separated the darkness from the bright light God called the light day and the darkness night Then came the morning of the first day followed by the evening of the first night God created the sky to separate the water from below and above He called the cavern of separation the beautiful sky of love God called the dry ground land and the gathered water sea He made vegetation and animals for you and me God said let there be lights in the sky That we may walk with an attentive eye That we may not lose our way, stumble least no one hear our cry God made man rule over His creation Man governed with love and little frustration God seeing man was very lonely He created a helpmate Man not realizing the helpmate he made would seal their fate However, God's Love would continue through the sin that came in The Love Between Man and Woman continually grows as God becomes their Friend God's walk with man created the scripture we have today That gives us the do’s and don't’s To follow along the way God sent His only son Jesus to show His Love and save us from sin The only requirement, bowing our heads and believing in him Genesis chapter one July 3, 2023 MarkWaldrop

I don't want the power to change the world for the world will change itself I wish for the power to have Jesus shine through me as I humble myself Spreading The Good News of God's Son who came to save us from sin Only through this task of Love will, I have Peace and Happiness within Spreading the Gospel as I go along my way will bring His sheep to the fold Not wanting even one to stray He will give me power untold It's not for me to decide the fate of my fellow man I know not what's hidden in his heart only God understands I pray God will draw them near whether through Love or Fear That they will find Jesus before the end is near July 1, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Do I have a date of expiration According to the Good Book, I do Not like the food we purchase we're not stamped with a date that's due I should live every minute to get the fullest use of my life Not knowing my future fate could bring much strife If I trust my Maker who created me in the beginning He knows the exact time when my life will be ending Peace with Him will make my life whole Bringing complete commitment to my soul July 1, 2023 MarkWaldrop
In a world where signals dance across the air, Where frequencies hum and voices declare, There shines a beacon of radiant light, Solana, our sunshine, gleaming so bright. A Field Day Event sparked her youthful desire, In 2019, her heart caught fire, Ham radio's magic captured her gaze, A passion ignited in those early days. With her mother, Mari Ann, by her side, They ventured forth, their knowledge to abide, Technician class exam they did take, At nine years old, a milestone they did make. Solana, N4SOL, her call sign they gave, A mark of dedication and courage so brave, Mari Ann, KD4SGC, her mother stands tall, Together they embrace the radio's call. April 26, 2021, a day to remember, Their General licenses, a glowing ember, As a Ham Family, they proudly stand, Grandparents, Randy, W4YSN, and Patti, KB4PAT, hand in hand. Solana, a granddaughter cherished and dear, Bathed in love from those so near, A lineage of hams, a legacy shared, With every transmission, their bond is declared. This past weekend, Solana did shine, Field Day with WAARC, a moment divine, With the Williamsburg Area Amateur Radio Club, She immersed herself, her spirit did scrub. A coach for the GOTA station, she guided with care, For youth, a mentor, her wisdom to share, The control operator on SSB she danced through the night, A voice of passion, reaching great height. But beyond the airwaves, her heart takes flight, For dancing is her joy, a dazzling sight, Ballet, Tap, and Contemporary too, Her movements grace, her spirit anew. Solana, our sunshine, a beacon so bright, In the realm of ham radio, a radiant light, May your journey be filled with joy and delight, As you dance through life, forever taking flight.

All gave some Some gave all No one can have a greater call Whether for my country family or friends There is no greater love that God can send John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. June 30, 2023 MarkWaldrop
Do your kids and friends see you as you are Do you want them too? Had you rather they gaze from afar Am I one person when I leave the house and another when I return home Do I walk the straight and narrow path or tend to weave and roam The Path to Heaven is as straight as an Arrow The path to hell is a very deep and a wide furrow Lord help me to walk the straight and narrow That my kids and friends see me as God sees the sparrow June 28, 2023 MarkWaldrop
