Life is like a vapor

Life resembling a vapor fashioned after  the clouds in the sky
They move, shifting their shape disappearing from my eye

Though can't be seen any longer, the moisture is still there
Lacking adequate intensity for the necked eye to share

Life is fleeting, swiftly passing from my sight
In an instant disappearing in the dim twilight

Blending

Life is a blend of many little things
Summing them up, the Grandeur it brings

Making the right choice of the tiniest decisions 
Will lead me to the path of Heavenly Visions

Knowing right from wrong will lead you down the right road 
Waiting on the Lord taking time to pray lightens my load

Whatever you do, never forget who made you and me
Drawing your last breath the light of Jesus, you will see

Leaving

I'm leaving and moving to another state
Having difficulties deciding what to take

What was important early on is not so important today
It is much easier to lighten my load and continue on my way

When I leave this old world some glorious day
I thank God for lightening my load as I continue to pray

Difficult to wear

Adorable seven year old american girl in baggy over-sized suit over white background.
Man's laws are most difficult to wear 
Being tight, too loose some cause fear

Adorning them in public embarrassing at times
Making them fit may cause many crimes

Man always making up many new laws of the land
Just to see how long he can keep them or If he can

Only God’s laws fit perfectly every time
Designed to make our souls shine

Man's law so restrictive making it difficult to move
Gods plan giving us freedom through His Son in all we do

Thank you, God for knowing us so well
Sacrificing your son that in Heaven we may dwell

Dawn breaking in Mars Hill, North Carolina

Dawn breaking in Mars Hill, North Carolina 
His Glorious Majesty in no way could be finer

The Stunning Sunrise stretching  across the Vast Sky
The Glory of the Birds chirping Feeling God's Love Arise

His Name spanning the sands of time
My steps get lighter with each step I climb

As I Bow my head and Pray Before Him
A Revelation from Heaven enters in

Oh My God, How Great Thou Art
Thank you for Living in my heart

The world is a poem

In a meadow bathed in golden light,
Where wildflowers bloom, a pure delight.
Nature's canvas, so vivid and free,
A tranquil world, as far as the eye can see.

Birds in chorus, their melodies soar,
A symphony of life, from shore to shore.
Beneath the azure, the sky's vast dome,
A poem of Earth, our beloved home.

The gentle breeze whispers secrets untold,
In this serene tapestry, where stories unfold.
With every sunrise and each sunset's grace,
The world's a poem, in its timeless embrace.

My eyes on Him

In troubling times, my eyes on him
His Glorious light will never grow dim

Peace and Joy will forever follow my soul
Even when cold death comes taking its toll

Forever in the shadow of His Hand
In Peace, through eternity, I will stand

Greater than the Glorious Universe He spoke
I have no choice but for him; my soul to cloak

Dear God

I was watching TV, and I heard things that would turn the air blue
Dear God have mercy on their soul they  know not what they do

Reminds me of a story in the Bible of two Angels that came to town
The men had lost their senses and turned everything upside down

Sodom and Gomorrah was reduced to hot blazing embers
Judgment came quickly nothing left only sin to remember

To learn from the annals of history we must
Follow God’s Commandments for He is Just.
