It was
A beautiful
Chilly autumn day
I saw
A panoply
Of multi-hued
Foliage
Under my feet
Leaves crunched
Satisfyingly
It began
To drizzle
I headed home
Warmed myself
At the fireplace
I sipped
A cup
Of pumpkin spice
Latte
I curled up
On the couch
And fell asleep
Dreaming of
Christmas

Today I turn fifty
I am full of glee

Vi and I will celebrate
It sure is great

We’ll eat club sandwiches
Hunger it banishes

I’m half a century old
My faith in Christ is bold

I thank God for my life
I hope the next year has little strife

The Lord has blessed me in so many ways
I am one who prays

As I look back
I see that Christ kept me on track

I set sail
For a distant land
I guided the boat
With my hand

I landed in
The Emerald Isle
I walked
For a mile

I came across
A huge rainbow
It reminded me of
The love God did bestow

I saw a Celtic cross
It was carved from stone
The light of Christ
Had shone

I spied a wee leprechaun
It had a pot of gold
He was
Very old

I walked barefoot
In the lush green grass
I dreamt of
A beautiful Irish lass

I sailed back home
I had many happy memories
Of Ireland
It was the stuff of fantasies

If you have a carnal mind
You are limited in so many ways
The truth you will not find

Christ is the eternal Logos
He is the very Word of God
Of everything, He is the source

God spoke the Word
And the universe was created
It’s not absurd

The Lord created orders
The universe was created with a purpose
The Elect are God’s sons and daughters

We are children of God by adoption
The Holy Spirit quickens our souls
It’s possible due to Christ’s resurrection

On the cross
Jesus suffered and died
It seemed such a loss

But death could not hold Christ the Lord
On the third day, He rose
In the tomb, massive energy poured

Faith comes by hearing, not happenstance
We are transformed from spiritual death to life
Then we receive faith and repentance

I’m fatigued totally
I suffer from lethargy

Vi and I heard a raven
Made our backyard tree its haven

We are footloose and fancy free
We enjoy writing poetry

We ran in the rain
It made us insane

Like Bereans, we study the Bible carefully
Great knowledge is imparted to Vi and me

We are barking mad
It’s a situation quite sad

We enjoy English literature
In our home, it is a fixture

I travel the universe in my spare time
By employing phased mind warps sublime

In Adam, we all fell
We’re in a prison cell

This prison is sin
We need redemption

Adam is our federal head
We are spiritually dead

We are totally depraved
In Christ alone are we saved

Thank God for the effectual call
Satan shall no longer us enthrall

God chose who He would save
It wasn’t based on how we behave

It wasn’t due to any action or quality
God’s reasons are a mystery

The Holy Spirit quickens a soul
We are transformed as a whole

We receive faith and repentance
This isn’t happenstance

Once regenerated, we receive a new nature
Trapped by sin no more, we don’t labor

I built a log cabin
On the right spot
Before it was too hot

From the stream
I caught some fish
They were very delish

At night, I built
A big fire
It was like a funeral pyre

The next day, I shot a rabbit
With my 22 caliber Marlin gun
Hunting is such fun

A mighty bald eagle
Soared above
It reminded me of God’s love

The seasons changed rapidly
Soon winter came
I hunted lots of tasty game

I had plenty
Of firewood
I was in a good mood

Spring was finally here
I enjoyed watching the flowers bloom
Reminded me that Christ rose from the tomb

In the Garden, man fell
Ever since then, we hear the death knell

Christ was our perfect sacrifice
For our sins, He paid the price

The effectual call
It is not for all

Only God’s Elect shall be saved
That God saves any, we should be amazed

Our sins are imputed to the Lord Jesus
They are most grievous

Christ’s perfect righteousness we receive
Satan can no longer deceive

The Holy Spirit quickens our souls, you see
We receive repentance and faith totally

Deep peace
In the thunderstorm for you

Deep peace
In the sun’s warmth for you

Deep peace
In the ocean’s depths for you

Deep peace
In a baby’s smile for you

Deep peace
In a meal with loved ones for you

Deep peace
In the summer grass for you

Deep peace
In a snow blizzard for you

Deep peace
In the moon and stars for you

Deep peace
In a friend’s chat for you

Deep peace
In reading a good book for you

Deep peace
In the colored leaves of autumn for you

Deep peace
In prayer for you

Deep peace
In Christ for you

The Lord sent a legion of angels
To defend me
Against Satan’s wiles and snares
He is the enemy

The angels songs
Are melodic
They are also
Hypnotic

I put on the full armor of God
Against the Satanic horde
I battle
I raise my sword

By the power of the Holy Spirit
I can walk on the stormy sea
This is possible
Because Christ redeemed me

Faith the size of a mustard seed
Can move a mighty mountain
Of this fact
I’m certain
