Resist the Devil
And he will flee
He wants us in
A state of misery

The Lord rebuke you
We must say
Christ alone can keep
Satan at bay

We must stand firm
On God’s Word
If demons attack us
They need not be feared

In Christ we are
More than conquerors
He shall defend us
Against all attackers

It’s chilly outdoors
Filled with anxiety
I take medication
And pace the floors

In her bed
Vi peacefully slumbers
Her snoring is sweet
In our homestead

When my thoughts are dark
I pray and read Scripture
And imagine I’m sailing
On the ocean in a barque

And all seems gloom
And I am depressed
I read theology books
And relax in my bedroom

Sometimes I hallucinate
They can be scary
And quite disconcerting
But I am not irate

I like to take it easy
I listen to Bach
And sip a good coffee
Now I’m sleepy

Laying in bed
Harsh sunlight
Scorches my head

Heat index is high
As I lay there
I wonder why

Is El Nino to blame
Or is it just part
Of some divine game

Listless and low energy
Trapped like a prisoner
Yearning to be free

Sweat streams my face
The sun blazes
I rely on God’s grace

Before long
The air will be cold
We’ll sing a Christmas song

The sun keeps blazing
But I no longer despair
It is Christ I’m praising

The trees’ memories
Linger softly
Shadows of time past

A multitude
Of silent witnesses
Time passes slowly

Life is teeming
Under the foliage
An ecosystem in motion

Lush plants
Carpet the ground
Ants gather food

Rabbits and mice
Scurry about
Happy and content

Walking underneath
The canopy of leaves
Life is simpler

Feeling connected
To God the Creator
From dirt He made us

Look at the beauty
And diversity
Of life He created

Standing in awe
At the wonder
Of His handiwork

The last trumpet
Shall sound
The blast shall
Be heard across
The globe
The dead in Christ
Shall rise first
Getting uncorrupted
Bodies
Then those
Who are alive
Will be raptured
The Church
Will be caught up
And meet Christ
In the air
This happens
Before
Great Tribulation
When God’s wrath
Is poured out
On the wicked men
Of the earth
We the Body
Of Christ
Shall accompany
Him
To Heaven
For the
Marriage Supper
Of the Lamb
Then after
Seven years
We shall return
To earth
For the
Second Coming
And the
Thousand year
Reign of Christ
Maranatha

Water
So fresh
And pure
When I am
Thirsty
It’s the
Cure
I like it
Cold with
Plenty of
Ice
That’s
Very nice
If you’re
Parched
There is
Nothing
Better
I guzzle
It down
By the
Liter
Add some
Honey
And lemon
Juice
Nothing
Sweeter

The shamrock
Green and proud
Symbolizing
Irish people
Three leaf clovers
Patrick used
To teach pagans
The Trinity
Kiss
The Blarney stone
This emerald isle
A people who
Resisted tyranny
Bruised and beaten
But not conquered
The Irish monks
Preserved
The Gospel
And Scripture
During
The Dark Ages
We owe them
Much
I take pride
In being Irish
May she forever
Follow Christ

Silent travelers
Immense in size
Ocean dwellers

Denizens of the deep
Once hunted cruelly
They did weep

Undecipherable communication
Sound waves carry thoughts
Utilizing amplification

Circling the planet
Social creatures
What secrets they transmit

Eyes are sore
Pain I abhor

Yearn to be
Totally pain free

Thoughts are dour
Disposition is sour

Won’t despair
Because Christ is there

He heals my every need
At Calvary He did bleed

Every pain is gone
As Christ’s light shone

Truly happy all day
My pain went away

I laid in bed
Like a beached whale
This is my
Sad tale

I am lethargic
With no energy
It is a condition
Full of pity

I feel fatigued
And depressed
This situation
Makes me distressed

I want to run
And play
But it won’t
Happen today

I flip
And flop around
Where is my
Energy to be found

I will pray
Tomorrow is better
Meanwhile I’ll
Check the weather
