New Post of Old Poems

Hey everyone! I decided that, until I have some new poetry or prose completed (coming soon!), I will post some of my old work. So, here are some poems I wrote awhile back.

Here's a fitting one for this time of year!

A Spring Day

The sun's coming up

On a morning in Spring;

I open my eyes

And hear the birds sing.

Outside on the lawn

Under green, shady bowers,

I inhale the sweet smell

Of the first April flowers.

I love the cool morn

And the bright afternoon;

In the vast blue sky

Is the faint, distant moon.

The seasons God gives,

And the blessings they bring,

Tell of His love

In the wonders of Spring.

This one I wrote for my wonderful mother on Mother's Day, year 2007:

Thank You Mom

Moms were made for many things:

To care for and to please us.

They pray and guide us all the way,

And give us love from Jesus.

God made moms in different ways:

For playing, working, caring.

He made some soft and gentle,

And others brave and daring.

I'll tell you all about my mom:

God made her exactly right!

He made her soft but brave,

And filled her with heavenly light.

Last of all I thank you Mom--

I'm glad you’re not like some!

We could not ask for more from you!

Just thanks for being our Mom.

I wrote this poem from Psalm 23, and it's one of my favorites!

 The Good Shepherd

The Lord is my good Shepherd;

He gives all I need:

He leads me by still waters;

In green pastures I will feed.

As I pass through troubles

And no way out I see,

The Lord of life is by my side--

His staff and rod cheer me.

I have a place in heaven;

With food my table is spread.

My cup is running over

And His oil anoints my head.

His goodness and mercy

Shall always follow me,

And I will live with Jesus

Through all eternity!

  

This poem was one that Young Disciple magazine published:

C-H-A-R-A-C-T-E-R

C is for Christ-like: doing your part;

H is for happy: God's joy in your heart.

A for no anger: let love take it's place;

R is for radiant: a smile on your face.

A is for angel: be sweet and don't fight;

C is for courage: to stand for what's right.

T is for truthful: be honest in all;

E is for eager: to answer God's call.

R is for righteous: living for Him;

Give Him your heart

And let Him come in!

Well, that's some samples of the poetry I like to write! Later I will post some of my stories and essays, and artwork and photos. Just keep checking back for more!
