Vi and I love
Starbucks frappuccinos
They’re better than Al Pacino

I prefer a caramel one
With 2 shots of espresso
We heard a Bach concerto

Vi likes a hot
Peppermint mocha latte
On a cold winter’s day

I like my frappuccino
Double-blended with light ice
It’s worth the price

I ate a slice
Of banana nut bread
I was well fed

I’m in a deep malaise
It goes on for days

I lack energy
Please pray for me

I long to be free
From this mental catastrophe

I’m so weak I despair
But I remember Christ is near

I have no motivation
It’s a bad situation

I hear many a voice
It’s not my choice

Sometimes I have a delusion
I feel confusion

At times, I have mania, you see
I wonder why it happens to me

I also have hallucinations
Due to my mind’s machinations

I struggle with anxiety
I worry incessantly

Major depression is no joke
My mind is broke

One day, my mind will be sound
The change will be profound

We are saved
By sovereign
Grace alone
We are justified
By faith alone
Good works
Play no part
Our faith
Is predicated
On Scripture
Alone
We affirm
Salvation
Through Christ
alone
For the glory
To God alone
Scripture alone
Is our final
And only
Infallible
Authority
Christ alone
Is our Mediator

Outside
Is a winter wonderland
In the falling snow, I stand

On telephone poles
Hang angels
And bells

I see couples
Taking a sleigh ride
The roads were wide

I stood
Under mistletoe
A kiss, a beauty did bestow

I saw children
Making a snowman
It was finished per the plan

At home
We trimmed the Christmas tree
The colored lights made me happy

A mountain of
Wrapped gifts I beheld
Santa Claus, I extolled

He landed on our roof
With his sleigh
Reindeer pulled it this day

Children skated
On a frozen pond
Winter coats, they donned

Vi and I sat in the dark
The room is illuminated, you see
By the colored lights of our tree

We felt happy and at peace
In our nativity scene
This Christmas has been keen

My two sisters and I
Soon went to bed
Dreams of Christmas were in each head

Lucifer
Was an archangel
The most powerful
Type of angel
He rebelled
Against God
Because of
His pride
And lust
For power
He led
A rebellion
Against God
Lucifer convinced
One third
Of all angels
To follow him
He and the
Angels
Were cast out
Of heaven
And sent to
The earth
Lucifer became
Satan
And the
Fallen angels
Became demons
Satan is
The father
Of lies
He prowls
Like a
Hungry lion
Seeking souls
He can devour

I’m down in the dumps
I take my lumps

I’m as depressed as one can be
I need to escape from this misery

I lack any motivation
It’s a sad situation

I have no pep
In my step

I am utterly lethargic
I feel mentally sick

I am fatigued to the core
I don’t want this illness anymore

I lie in bed all day
With nothing to say

I yearn to be healed
In time that will be revealed

Only the Elect
Are God’s children
We are adopted
The moment
We are regenerated
Those people
Who are not saved
Are children
Of Satan
The Apostle John
Makes this clear
Once we are
In Christ
We can boldly
Approach God
The Father
Since we are
Alive in Christ
When we are
Regenerated
We experience
The new birth
It is part
Of the
New Covenant
Unlike the
Old covenant
Where only
A select few
Were actually
Regenerated
In the
New covenant
All members
Have been
Regenerated
God chose
His Elect
Before
The world’s
Foundation
They are chosen
For God’s
Good pleasure

Christmas is
The most wonderful
Time of the year
People are kind
And full of cheer
I love this
Festive season
We should remember
That Christ
Is the reason
For our
Celebrations
Emmanuel
God with us
Christ was
Fully man
And fully divine
He was born
To the virgin Mary
On a cold
December night
Christ was
Incarnated
As a baby
We are in awe
Of God’s great
Love for us
Christ condescended
To come as
A helpless infant
The living
And eternal
Word of God
Who came to earth
So that man
Could be saved
And fellowship
With God once more
As it was in Eden
Before Adam
Our federal head
Sinned
When we are saved
Every single
Sin of ours
Past, present
And future
Is forgiven
At Calvary
Christ’s shed
Blood
Washes away
All our sins
We are redeemed
And death
Merely takes us
Into the presence
Of Christ
I love
The white snow
We are cleansed
Of sin
And are purer
Than snow
My sister Vi
Loves to decorate
Our home
For the Christmas
Season
We get a live
Christmas tree
And we both
Decorate it
With colored lights
Ornaments
Garland and tinsel
And our manger
It is truly
A beautiful sight
On Christmas Eve
We have fresh
Kielbasa
It’s delectable
We also have
Schneider’s
Egg nog
We sprinkle nutmeg
On top of our drinks
It’s our favorite
On Christmas Day
Vi and Mommy, and I
Open our gifts
We also open
Our stockings
For dinner
We have baked ham
For dessert
We have a nut roll
It’s so nice
To spend Christmas
With family
We love it when we have
A white Christmas
We listen to
Christmas songs
Throughout the day
This is a magical
Time of the year

All the Elect people
On the earth
Christ gives them
A second birth

When the Lord saves us
We are born from above
This is due
To God’s great love

The natural man
Is spiritually dead
He can’t discern Scripture
His mind is full of dread

A man who is born again
Receives a new nature
The Holy Spirit indwells them
They will spiritually mature

We must battle
Our old sinful nature
With sanctification
Holiness, we will procure

I swam
In the ocean
I put my legs
In motion

I was adrift
For days
Being prepared
Really pays

Suddenly, I saw
A great white shark
The sky was
Getting dark

Dolphins swam
In a circle around me
Thus ensuring
My safety

Finally, the shark
Swam away
Out of gratitude
I did pray

Two sea otters
Kept me company
They were playful
And very happy

I was picked up
By a large boat
It was getting
Difficult to float
