                                                        Choices have consequences

Easy living, spending, taking

Thoughtless through each new born day

I will take all that I long for

Let tomorrow come what may

Fill my glass right to the brim,

Drink before I’m old and grey

My memory grows dim.

Wish I knew just what went wrong?

Gone has all the fun, the song

All the things of yesterday

Disappeared, have flown away.

Now, how shall I carry on

All I loved is lost, is gone.

And I am left all on my own.

Free I was to live and choose

The things I ought to do

Quick to forget essentials

That would help to see me through

But I have learned and know

Choices have consequences

I will do better next time round

To build up strong defences.

                                                                    Before 

I’ve looked upon that leave, that flower

And felled a strange sensation

As thou I’ve seen them long ago

Before the world’s creation.

I watched the hands that held the pen

To write redemptions glorious plan

To set the limits of the sea

The earth, the sky and even me.

I’ve seen that leave, that flower before

Whilst stepping through an unseen door

To view the things designed in heaven

On earth take shape and form

Through curtains of forgetfulness

The spirit took upon it flesh

To fill the purpose of creation

By trial work out their own salvation.

I’ve heard that tune, that song before

And felled a strange sensation

As thou I’ve heard it long ago

Before the world creation

I’ve watched the hand that held the pen

That wrote the music to the plan

To bring to pass all God would need

And to a bounteous harvest lead.

I’ve seen that loving face before

And felled a strange sensation

As thou I’ve seen it long ago

Before the world’s creation

Promised whilst on granted time

To Him my will I would a line

Assisting Fathers gracious plan

To share his love and wondrous grace

                                    With souls throughout all Nations.

And It came   

It came, it came, but it shall not stay

We are told that it comes, to pass away

As it was in the seasons of yesterday

So, it is for the Nations that live today

It’s one of the called for, needful things

Teaching wisdom in all destiny brings

But it will not continue, it will not stay

For in time things vanish and pass away

Trials, disappointments, sorrow, tears

Fellow travelers throughout earthly years

Mortal companions which shall be denied

Escorting men’s soul to the other side

They come, they come, but they shall not stay

For all that comes, comes to- pass away.

                                                                        Secure

Then let us kneel in fervent prayer

Asking our God that He somewhere

Will grant us peace and sweet relief

From pain and sorrow, tears and grief

To welcome us with open arms

Set us free from earthly harms

Take us home where we shall be

Secure throughout Eternity.

                                                               A morning Prayer

Father in heaven I thank thee for the safety of the night

For this new Day just begun, the suns returning light.

Place in my heart a song to follow me the whole day long

I thank thee for my Family, for Home and Friends so dear

A Country free from war's alarm, a life devoid of fear.

For Natures bounteous blessings so beautiful and rare

For all lives simple treasures that I may freely share.

Help me to shun all selfishness, all vanity, and pride

Within the mantle of thy love and mercy let me hide.

To the needs of others may my eyes never be blind

Freely share all thou hast given, joy in service find.

Knowing that each human Soul,

Needs acts of love, to make them whole.

Should this day bring trials, be wearisome and long

Help this childlike heart of mine be steadfast, firm and strong.

Believing that in time, somewhere your love heals every wrong.
