Summer's settling in

Summer's, finally, settling in
We hear it speaking in the wind
Warming rays are pushing through
Blistering sun is felt, it's true

And the morning lights up quick
As the heaviness seem to stick..
Storms are brewing off and on
From the start of early dawn

Crackling ground and thirsty soil
Embrace each storm like healing oil
See the hotness ...feel the air?
Lots of mugginess everywhere.

Shall we jump out, in a pool
Cool our bodies ...try to fool
Piercing temperatures that allure
Every swimmer..not so sure?.

Vaporous visions start to rise
From the earth to lofty skies
See the rolling-ness in the air
Every asthmatic should beware..

A/C's running overtime
Pinch your pennies save each dime
For the bills will rise up high
Summer's costly..can't deny..

Even with the cost and heat
Summer's beauty can't be beat
Vacationers run off to a lake
And some will simply vegetate


Have a safe summer... :)

Through it all

All God's beauty calls to me
In the winds and in the breeze
Through the sunlight and the moon
in the morning and at noon..

I am with you forever more
Through your upsets and your war
Through your dangers and your streets
I am God and bring My peace

Though the world would  bring bad news
We can pick and we can choose
To hear the nonsense: day by day;
Or turn it off and hear God say

I am with you forever more
Through your upsets and your war
Through your dangers ..through your streets
I am God and bring My peace

Though the struggles seem to mount
Way beyond we care to count
Troubles rising.. illness too??
There is One who can pull us through:

I am with you forever more
Through your upsets and your war
Through your dangers and your streets
I am God and bring My peace

Violent protests unfair laws
Cause us all to think and pause
Can we rise up ..and be Light
Be one family .. all unite?

I am with you forever more
Through your upsets and your war
Through your dangers and your streets
I am God and bring My peace

Jesus told us " I am here"
In the gatherings where I hear
Voices rise up in My Name
Many  people ....pleading the same..

I am with you forever more
Through your upsets and your war
Through your dangers and your streets
I am God and bring My peace

Now it's time to stop and pray
Before you start another day
Where you're going and what you'll do
Will determine if God's with you

I am with you forever more
Through your upsets and your war
Through your dangers and your streets
I am God and bring My peace

Facebook family

Are you,watching me?...You have sat there for quite awhile...
But you haven't hit any likes or emojis with a smile
You claim to be my friend and I like that you are there
But are you really my friend  or someone who doesn't care?

I have opened up this site: every day and every night
Sometimes the things are calm ...other times:  people fight
There are people who are praising and others who are boasting
And times there are I see things, like: a hateful political roasting

I wonder why I stay here.. when so much is going on
Do I really want to see this,  at the start of early dawn
If I try to back away and start curbing my curiosity
I find I want to peek; and am jumping back in to see..

This Facebook fad has lasted, for many a year, I say
And I cannot seem to shake it .. it calls out to me each day
My friends, who I know and cherish; and those I never see
Seem to keep me coming back to this Facebook family..

When God looks at us

When God looks at us ..or what does He see
Does He see color or race or some genealogy?
When our God looks at us: at you and at me
Does He see us as culture or class or some society?

No when He's looking at us He sees us as soul
From the beginning to end ..with one common goal
To return back to Him with His Garments of love
To be found worthy of Heaven in those portals above

So lets turn away from hating and turn away from race
And look at each other as God does with grace
United and equal and totally one
We're family all striving to live like His Son

I apologize for them

BLACK  LIVES MATTER...

You are my sister and you are my brother
Though we have had a totally different mother
And though the colors that are emitted from our skin
May betray the  difference of our DNA deep within

Yet still, will I  claim you ..you are my very own
And blush at the unkindnesses you have been shown
The most ugly unkind  forms  of all of our humankind
You have known because of officers stepping out of line

So I apologize for all these  and those awful times
You have suffered so many terrible  terrible crimes
At the hands of those wielding unmerited power
I stand with you and protest every prejudiced hour

It is not what America's about not the America I know
So I plead with those who can ....to right this terrible woe
This cancerous outrage plaguing our nation everywhere
And instill in all. an attitude that is right and always fair

There is no color or class in God's Kingdom .. all our one
So, let us , all, go back to following  God's only Son
And treat one another with dignity  love and respect
It is the only way we will die in peace without any regret
