Can we put our differences aside

Can we not, all, put our differences aside 

Lay down our fighting and our pride

Reach out in true love and  concern

Try to be open and learn?

What happened to the red, white and blue

The home of the free and the true

United and caring for all

Have we forgotten the American call?

We see it in the news every day

The left and the right ... trying to slay

Each  others thoughts and words right away

Without listening to what the other has to say

Others look, to  us,  from afar and  laugh:

Not top difficult to do, all the   math

Our nation will crumble from within

Lack of unity will be our greatest sin

Whatever we claim that we are

Is slipping away ..like a burning out star

We're too focused on bringing another down

To lift up America   from the ground?

If there's a dream  I have  for us all

It would be for us to return to our call

Of embracing each other's  diversity

While living  in America's democracy

Our reward is Eternity.

As I gaze upon a sunrise,the Eternal Heaven comes to mind

And how many more of them I will see in Heaven I will find

Infinite in its beauty more beautiful that what I can see

Heaven will be so much happiness..and it's waiting there, just for me

For eyes can never ever visualize it; what greater things are in store

For those who love each other; and our good God even more 

For He's promised it from the beginning and to the end it ever will be

Relentless happiness for all of His children and for a reward His eternity..

So, I will try to live in His presence like one preparing to die

Forever giving what I can to others and loving each one I will try

Life's too short to live in an upset or in a violence to even provoke

For my heart will always belong to Jesus and to His Father by whom I am spoke

For eyes can never ever visualize it; what greater things are in store

For those who love each other; and our good God even more 

For He's promised it from the beginning and to the end it ever will be

Relentless happiness for all of His children and for a reward His eternity..

You must therefore ponder ever more, carefuly all your actions all you say or do

You don't want life to come back your accuser but your prize when life is through

For we weren't meant to have any selfishness; or any rivalries like we think

But rather we were, each of us, all, created to be a testimoney of a Love unseen

For eyes can never ever visualize it; what greater things are in store

For those who love each other; and our good God even more 

For He's promised it from the beginning and to the end it ever will be

Relentless happiness for all of His children and for a reward His eternity..

The only way

 Though I've read the bible many times and can say the verses there

I prefer to parce it out in  ways that makes it easy to share

Like how the Lord spent many days insuring we weren't alone

And forgiving us so many times He'd  sacrifice His Own

He led us all through the troubled  times and parted the sea in two

And conquered the nations with mighty hand and was Babe for me and you

His greatness was so very deep that He falterd before us all

And  submitted Himself to  Roman hands and broke down into a  fall

Nothing was too much for Him...For His love for us is great

So it's  time for us to understand before it becomes too late

The sum of all our God has said   in both the Old and New

Is what His  Son had  echo out that all  of  us should do:

Like;  loving our neighbors as ourselves and  loving each and everyone

For in the end ..it's not, what we know ...that'll score  victory with His Son

But rather that times we went beyond, what the world would have us do

Loving the loveless, helping the poor and allowing His Life to shine through

Today is so full of war and crime and a politics that'll make you hate

But we must all reach down into our core and remember before too late

That love is the  only tool we'll find; that weapon that'll conquer it all

It doesn't require we have a PhD or attend any school at all

 

This September morning

Rain drops fall outside my window

Darkness lingers about my pillow

Evening's passing, and morning is  near

A Soothing sweetness, I can hear.

Before the  morning .. I can think of all

With  thoughts of love, and gently call

To Him,  Who gives me,  life and breath

Who wards of harm and conquers death

The day's now coming  and I can see.

That work is waiting:  all ready,  for me

Phones will ring and words'll  be said

Countless hearts, will be  nourished and fed.

 

Between the phone calls, the angels will fly

With grace and beauty... one  can't deny

Hovering over sweetly and bringing me Light

Theses Heavenly beings will be my sight.

 

Autumn's Reflection

 

This season is surely ending and a stillness is emerging

We see how the summer  is surrendering to  all of  Fall's   urging

The squirrels are, all,  gathering and summer  leaves are falling

While geese are making ready to respond to  southern states calling

The fall time, it's nearing,  with all of its completeness

Nature seems to be dying but she's readying  for more sweetness

The seeds that have fallen seem to be crushed without  notice

But they will all rise up in Springtime,  like a sweet smelling lotus

Nothing's  really, forever over ..there's always a followup reaction

Sometimes its a new awakening and other times:   a  redaction

Life's  forever and ever recycling, renewing and inviting

We must be ever  more conscious of what each season's deciding

In tune with  all the universe and at one with earth's family

We wont become  victims of this century's  great anomaly

Unphased by all the politicalness and untouched by the media

We will move forward in peacefulness free from this world's anemia

 

Tired of all this political mud slinging

I am tired of all of all of this fighting between the "left" and the "right' 

What is it, we hope to accomplish.? Is there a productive end in sight?

People are becoming  so huffy: shouting their thoughts out loud

Sometimes we've become so violent . that our prejudice becomes a crowd.

The rest of the world is. . laughing :  when they speak of  the  USA

We don't need to worry about  invasions because .. we're becoming our own decay

We've wandered away from our constitution and entered into political wars

It's sad to say that I love this country but would have to  grade it with lowest scores.
