PROMISE

A new day

  bright,

  yet cloudy--

A new job

  yet to be found

A new place

  waiting & ready

A new name

  yet to be revealed.

No Place To Call Home

(Homeless & Jobless)

Boxes, containers,

   Backpacks, & sacks.

These are the things

   I stuffed in my car.

In hopes that I'll find

   A place not-so-far.

To unpack & settle,

   and get my life out of whack!

'Get my life out of whack'

   now how does one do that?

One has to set goals

   and subsets of goals

Until at the end of all that

   you discover at last

What God has been

   telling you all along

To be still

   and know....

Stop moving,

   and squiggling,

Wiggling,

   and fighting

Accept what He's given you

   and what He has taken.

For at the end of it all

   when we stand before Him

What matters is not

   what you did with your life

But how you did with

   what you did with your life,

Right?

Sudsy Shower

I slipped & fell

Tried not to tell.

But my body aches

And my joints quake.

It hurts to sneeze,

It hurts to walk,

It hurts everytime

I move my neck!

There's a bump on my leg,

Soreness on my hips.

Thank God He still heals

Old bones like mine!!
