There once was a tree that stood broad and tall,That would serve as a bridge to all that are lost. A tree that would be cut up but held lots of power,And bring eternal light to an ungodly hour. A tree that would reach as high as the heavens,That would serve as a path forContinue reading “A Tree”

Sow
There was a farmer who wanted his crop to grow,But he was rather stingy and wouldn’t let his seed go. The winter brought a terrible drought, scarce was the rain,He was apprehensive. He wasn’t sure more seed he’d gain. Carefully he’d count a few and plant them in the ground,He’d even sow at night whileContinue reading “Sow”
The River
There was once a river that stood on its own,That was born in a manger whose feet the Earth roamed. Who grew up in stature, in wisdom, and truth,Who taught with authority from the days of His youth. Who astonished great scholars and teachers alike,Who made many men wonder and even dislike. At whose nameContinue reading “The River”
Listen!
Listen when it’s busy, Listen when it’s still. Listen when you’re healthy, Listen when you’re ill. Listen when it’s dark and dim, Listen when light shines through. Listen even in your sadness because I want to speak to you. Listen my children because your life depends on it, I had to shut things down justContinue reading “Listen!”
Fear vs. Faith
Fear is crippling,Fear gives rise to doubt,Fear will cause you to retreat when the Lord has called you out. Fear is an illusion,Fear is a tactic of our unseen enemy,Fear hid Adam and Eve after eating from the tree. Fear has no real power,Yet fear can overtake you,Fear breeds second guessing while knowing what isContinue reading “Fear vs. Faith”

In a world full of imposters,In a world full of fake.In a world that hates to love,And loves to hate. In a world that is thirsty,In a world overtly ridden with sin.In a world that approves an eye for an eye,And feels it’s ok to betray our next of kin. In a world that shunsContinue reading “Elevate”
Pedestals
Pedestals were meant to bring objects up higher, Not for us to place men upon so we can admire. Nor to exalt ourselves above others and say look at me, Or put our lives on display for all the world to see. Who are we except filthy rags washed clean by lamb’s blood? Or wretchesContinue reading “Pedestals”
Mary Had a Baby
Mary had a baby, While she herself was still a baby too. An angel gave instructions,But she knew little of what she had to do. Yet, she surrendered to the will of God, Although, she knew her sweet baby had to die. So, all that came after Him could have everlasting life. Mary had aContinue reading “Mary Had a Baby”
Bloom
What is a bird who can’t spread its wings and fly? Or a man who lies down in defeat and just wants to die. What becomes of an eagle that never gets to soar? Or what about a lion in the jungle who is afraid to roar? What sense does it make to be pregnantContinue reading “Bloom”
Your Artistry
Mountains and valleys, Monsoons and hurricanes, Exotic birds like parrots and cranes. Lakes and rivers, Streams and estuaries, Seasons From December back to January. Oceans, winds, give rise to hurricanes, Monsoons, typhoons, and tsunamis, Strong enough to bow and break massive trees. Photosynthesis and cellular respiration, Water, Carbon, and nitrogen recycling, To replenish what flowsContinue reading “Your Artistry”
