Promise

The whole world is upside-down.
No one knows where to turn.
A shining smile turns to frown
And all hopes crash and burn.

Standing - staring - losing all hope.
Children's eyes wet with tears;
Wondering how they'll ever cope
With their dark, wide-eyed fears.

Who can turn this world around?
Who on Earth could ever free us?
Can the lost ever be found?
Only if you trust in Jesus.

Only then can you be saved
And washed clean of your sin.
When Death takes you to your grave,
Death will find he cannot win.

You will rise above the strife.
You will live with Christ the Lord.
He will give eternal life,
But only if you trust Him in His Word.

Fall Into Winter

Autumn leaves are falling
Tapping my head gently.
Chilly winds are whipping
Red-brown leaves around.
Old Jack Frost is coming
Painting leaves with white.
All the geese are flying
To winter homes down south.
And I praise the coming
Of my winterlands renewed.

Season of Night

Fall is coming
The leaves are turning
The air is cooling
My heart is singing.

Witches and warlocks fill the air.
Fruits are falling - apple and pear.
People are calling, "let's go to the fair!"
It seems to me, the Wicca don't care.

Autumn is coming
The colors are showing
The full moon is growing
My heart is laughing.

Pumpkins grow faces.
O'er the grass, Jack Frost draws laces.
Artifacts in old glass cases
Finding them in brand new places.

Halloween is coming
The wolves are howling
The spirits are moaning
My heart is fearing.

Go around the circle - once, now twice.
Now say the chant slowly thrice:
Spiders and worms; moles and mice;
Digger of graves, you must pay the price!

Dark times are coming
The Wicca are calling
Brave people are falling
My heart is crying.

O' reader of this poem know;
There is much to fear.
I would advise you to beware.
Listen closely to the midnight air,
And be alert for spirits - everywhere.

Happy Halloween

My Love

He nudges me out of bed each day
His loving kindness shows me the way
I should live my life.

I'm totally focused - I can't turn away
I can't leave him - he wants me to stay
I am totally in love with him.

No other god could so capture my heart
No other god could cause me to part
From my first love, Jesus Christ.

I See, I Long

I see a wolf running fee through the woods.
I see a bird flying free through the air.
I see a fish swimming free in the water.
And I see me chained to this chair.

I long to be free as the wolf in the woods.
I long to be free as the bird in the air.
I long to be free as the fish in the water.
But alas, I am chained to this chair.

Staying Up

Staying up,
Late at night.
Studyin' hard,
My eyes shut tight.

Snoring loud
Or not at all.
I am not proud,
It annoys us all.

Staying up,
Late at night.
Studyin' hard,
My eyes shut tight.

I need sleep.
That I know.
Can't count sheep?
Then watch a show.

Staying up,
Late at night.
Studyin' hard,
My eyes shut tight.
