I can't even imagine the beautiful things unseen Someone’s experience and pictures bring beauty to me Spiritual things are quite different to find No pictures, feelings in the heart, not the mind I can't imagine what words cannot describe I can only feel the love in my heart where it abides God is love, the good book says The overflowing love in my heart is His January 12, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Superstition Is a strange feeling I can't control Not being in control makes me feel less than whole There are undoubtedly no ill feelings from God I put away all superstition on the path, I trod These feelings not coming from above I replace them with God’s Eternal Love January 14, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Life looking forward seems so long. Life looking back appears so short Why this is, I'm not quite sure There seems to be no ready cure Living each day the very best I can In the end, being proud of the race I ran The most crucial ending to the race To whom I pass the baton with a quick pace January 12, 2023 Mark waldrop
This old house isn't what it used to be It used to be dark, sad, and dreary Now, this old house is bright and sunny Full of joy, laughter, and so cheery Making such a drastic change did not come overnight Coming after many days of my soul taking flight The difference between dark and light Seeking God’s son Jesus with all your might January 12, 2023 Mark Waldrop
I sometimes wonder if I'm AWOL I hope I'm not on the crooked road to hell I pray a lot and get no definite answer Asking everyone, I don't know what’s a matter I may be Absent Without Official Leave If this is true, my only choice is to grieve Dear God, I didn't run away on purpose. I don't think Please give me a second chance, and I will never take another drink I shouldn't even ask what I'm thinking If you forgive me, I promise to start a new beginning Wait, I may have made this promise before That may be why you have shut the door Dear God, have mercy on my soul I'm begging this time, take me back and put me on parole January 10, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Never changing this attribute of God His truth is a golden measuring rod Not understanding how God never changes His Great Mercy and Love cover all the ages Out of the dimension of my simple mind It is only through His Son, Jesus, the answer I will find His Spirit, whose Wisdom, Power, Holiness, Justice, Goodness, and Truth are infinite, eternal, and unchangeable I can only bow my head and thank God through all Eternal Ages. He is unmovable January 10, 2023 Mark Waldrop Inspired by Stephen Lawson Malachi 3:6 — The New International Version (NIV) 6 “I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed.
Our lineage is difficult to trace to where we are No records exist beyond the rays of a star Their dress was skins of many animals Folklore says some may have been cannibals Their Gods were Sun's rays by day and the glow of the Moon by night Not being accustomed to the terms Holy or right Chiseling their shelter high in the cliffs of mountains Always in search of overflowing fountains Gorging their stomachs with the food of animals that wandered by Nature kept them alive. They did not know the word die The only pleasurable feeling they had was the warmth of their skin The warm rains, the golden rays of the sun beaming in They had little emotion for life. Only relying on their existence They had no conception of time or distance. They knew a strange feeling we call love They felt it flow from the mountains above Their sighs and groans from deep within They only knew the pleasure derived from their skin If it weren't for our ancestors there would be no you and me It's not by luck we find ourselves evolving through eternity January 9, 2023 Mark Waldrop

Where the rubber meets the road Where your shoe leather meets the road Finding Jesus; He will lighten your load He will guide you on a righteous path Providing a glorious way with less strife Traveling toward the end of your goal Your life will become gloriously whole January 8, 2023 Mark Waldrop
Isn't it funny how time slips away Early on, interested in fun things every day The most significant event in my life was Christmas Pressing my ear on the frosty window pane only to listen I would always fall asleep waiting for Rudolph and Santa Being tucked snugly in by my bed, by my Nanna The adolescent years brought many temptations Getting into mischief once t thought I saw satin Reaching young adulthood, deciding to further my education Hard labor seemed to me like total devastation I Squandered my money on girls and cars Everywhere I looked I only saw colorful stars The time came to hunker down. I was the King and wore a crown Suddenly I was no more a King raising a family and trying not to drown Money is the only thing on my mind Most of the time, I was not very kind Living from vacation to vacation With not enough time Seemingly not getting ahead by not even a dime The older I became, the more life’s toll Took hold of me It made me ask if there is more than this to see My father died. My mother not far behind Was my successful life only in my mind Taking time to ponder on my life, I began to cry Will someone please show me before I die Not sure why there was such an incredible change Everything was brighter; nothing looked the same Having joy in my heart, looking forward to every minute of the day My family said, Dad, what happened? You are much happier today. I did not have an honest answer until I heard God sent His son To walk with me until my earthly race is won I bow my head and thank Him every day For not giving up on me and showing me the way January 7, 2023 Mark Waldrop
