Listening
December 4, 2022 I’m not the most humorous, witty old chap.I’m not full of great stories to make others laugh.I’m not likely to speak just to fill in a gap,Between listening and talking it’s not half and half. I love … Continue reading
Old Men and Stories
November 27, 2022 Old men share stories, they tell of the past,The stories from childhood that linger and last.They’ve lived a full life but aren’t likely to boast.They share about life, things that matter the most. If you’re privileged to … Continue reading
Statesmen
November 25, 2022 Why do our hearts fill up with hateTo poison minds, invade debate?Instead of different points of view,The insults rage and venom spews. Will statesmen rise to change our ways,Restore again more civil days?I long to hear a … Continue reading

God’s Gifts
October 30, 2022 To discover the gifts God has placed in our souls,To give God the glory while doing our best,Is the key to success and achieving our goals.If we give them to God, He takes care of the rest. … Continue reading
Fly Higher
October 28, 2022 God’s Word gives me freedom and helps me to fly.Without it I’m drifting and tossed all about.Like a kite needs a string to soar high in the sky,The Lord gives me courage and frees me from doubt. … Continue reading
How Little We’ve Learned
October 27, 2022 What size is the building for all of the booksIt would take to contain what we think we have learned?But that’s only one section, a small little nook,So much we don’t know, so few pages we’ve turned. … Continue reading
A Smile
October 26, 2022 Sometimes it’s the small things that lodge in my heart,Perhaps just a smile, or a hug, or firm hand.It’s the warmth and the feelings such gestures impart,Affirming assurance that friends understand. It takes but an instant to … Continue reading
