This Brand New Day
- Published: March 2018
A Morning Prayer

in Prayer Poems

This brand new day I go in faith,
But I know not what lies in wait,
So dear God, this morning I pray,
Take control and lead the way.

This brand new day I go in faith,
But I know not what lies in wait,
So dear God, this morning I pray,
Take control and lead the way.

I do not see with these two eyes,
I cannot tell where danger lies.
Please, dear Lord, be my guide.
Let me not stray from Your side.

Show me today the journeys to make.
Steer me on the right paths to take.
Grant me grace to discern your will,
For when to strive and when to be still.

Help me to love and trust You more
And radiate Your love to my neighbor.
Then bring me back safe and sound,
And let my praise for You abound.

Amen.

Wishing Loved Ones A Wonderful Month

in Prayer Poems

Each morning of this month
When you rise upon your bed,
May it be with renewed grace
To face the day ahead.

Each morning of this month
When you rise upon your bed,
May it be with renewed grace
To face the day ahead.

May favor and laughter
Be what this new month will bring.
May it give you breakthroughs
And plenty reasons to sing.

May God's peace, like a river
Overflow within your soul.
May His tender, gentle whispers
Always heal and make you whole.

May each passing week
Only make your beauty abound.
May you remain a source of joy
To all you have around.

May the Lord's loving hand
Guide you each and every day.
And may you shine bright for Him
As you go along your way.

When I Think About My Mum
- Published: May 2019
Appreciating A Mother's Love

in Mother Poems

When I think about my mum,
I just can't help but smile;
The beauty of her loving heart,
The easy grace in her style.

When I think about my mum,
I just can't help but smile;
The beauty of her loving heart,
The easy grace in her style.

She lovingly instilled in me,
Those values that made me strong,
And never stops being there,
My best friend since I was young.

When I think about my mum,
I just can't help but smile;
She's been an angel from the start,
Gentle, wise and versatile.

She always seems to know,
When things aren't going too well,
Even when I try to pretend,
Just a glance and she can tell.

When I think about my mum,
I just can't help but smile;
Her own troubles she'd set apart,
To go for me an extra mile.

She sometimes worries too much,
I guess it's just the way mums are.
If she doesn't, well, who will?
That's why she's my superstar.

In His Loving Arms

in Prayer Poems

I run to You with my hurts and fears,
Carry me, Lord, in Your unfailing love.
When no one really understands or cares,
I run to You with my hurts and fears.

I run to You with my hurts and fears,
Carry me, Lord, in Your unfailing love.
When no one really understands or cares,
I run to You with my hurts and fears.
And my anxiety disappears,
As Your peace descends from above.

Carry me, Lord, in your unfailing love.

She's Our Hero
- Published: September 2021
A Mother's Pricelessness

in Mother Poems

She does her battles quietly,
For her kids, on her knees.
Spending many sleepless nights,
So our lives can be with ease.

She does her battles quietly,
For her kids, on her knees.
Spending many sleepless nights,
So our lives can be with ease.

She takes on our troubles,
While leaving her own behind.
In the midst of stress and strain,
Will still manage to be kind.

She is a calming presence,
For acquaintances far and near.
Will be sought to settle issues,
Whenever hot tempers flare.

She is that ray of sunshine,
Making our home bright and warm.
She is that steady anchor,
When life seems a raging storm.

Easy strength runs in her frame,
Tenderness, within her core.
No matter how little she gets,
Always giving more and more.

She never needs a sidekick,
Fancy clothes really aren't her thing.
But mummy is a superhero,
A magnificent human being.

My Victory Song
- Published: May 2019
Finding Strength In God

in Faith Poems

God's love sets me free.
This is my victory song.
His grace is sufficient for me.
It is what keeps me strong.

God's love sets me free.
This is my victory song.
His grace is sufficient for me.
It is what keeps me strong.

For I'm no perfect man,
And on my own cannot prevail.
Sometimes doing the best I can,
Even will seem to no avail.

Had my share of heartaches,
Sometimes wondering to what end.
Made my share of mistakes.
Over this, I can't pretend.

The struggles may increase,
But it's no cause for alarm.
God's thoughts to me are of peace,
To nurture and not to harm.

I forge on quite resolved.
God's at work in me for the best.
I am flawed but fiercely loved,
And He is not finished yet.

God's perfect plan for me,
I may not fully understand.
But trusting, obeying, I'm grateful to be,
Handled in His loving hand.

Pricelessness Of A True Friend

in True Friend Poems

You always answer when I call
And help me up if I should fall,
But you never complain at all,
My true friend.

You always answer when I call
And help me up if I should fall,
But you never complain at all,
My true friend.

You confront me when I am wrong
But will never scold me for long,
Instead, you try to keep me strong,
My true friend.

You know the funny things to say
To make me laugh my fears away.
Like the sun, you brighten my day,
My true friend.

You see in me gifts I deny
And urge me to give things a try.
You spread for me my wings to fly,
My true friend.

You always perceive what I need
And offer it before I plead.
Just like a book, my mind you read,
My true friend.

You value little things I do
But won't brag of what you do too.
How can I ever repay you,
My true friend?

And greatest of all I have found
When times are tough and I'm down,
You are the one who sticks around,
My true friend.

Something About The Sky
- Published: June 2021
The Beauty Of The Sky

in Spiritual Poems about Nature

The sky speaks without words,
Messages that warm my heart.
It never ceases to amaze me,
Like a timeless work of art.

The sky speaks without words,
Messages that warm my heart.
It never ceases to amaze me,
Like a timeless work of art.

How it stretches far and wide,
With neither beginning nor end.
A fingerprint of the Creator,
Far more than I can comprehend.

It assures me of His blessings,
In its marvelous way of adorning
Each day with the sunrise -
That they're new every morning.

Happy times are understood
By the radiant hues in the sky.
Rain drops from darker shades convey
That sometimes it's okay to cry.

Now and then in broad daylight,
The beauty a rainbow will afford,
Affirms how great it is I'm loved,
By He who always keeps His word...

The One who sets the stars in space
And calls them each by name;
The One who set me here by design
And upholds me just the same.

What more is needed to show
The sovereignty of the Most High?
I find enough each time I spare
A lingering gaze at the sky.

Rest, My Soul
- Published: September 2019
Finding Contentment In God

in Faith Poems

Rest, my soul, in God's love
as you live every day.
Relax in His faithfulness
as you go along your way.

Rest, my soul, in God's love
as you live every day.
Relax in His faithfulness
as you go along your way.

Embrace other's happiness.
Share with those in need.
Seek peace with your neighbors,
both in words and deed.

Take things nice and easy.
Be glad for all you've got;
Not so fast and furious
griping on those you do not.

Fix your attention on God
and not so much on others.
Your times are in His hands;
that is all that matters.

Note to self, oh my soul:
As you do the best you can,
learn not to get upset
when things don't go according to plan.

Relax in God's goodness.
You know His ways are sublime.
He is never in a hurry
but is always on time.

A Neighbor's Kindness

in Thank You Friend Poems

You've got quite an easy style
with a tender heart to match,
and how you'd wear a cheerful smile
then that kindly voice attach.

You've got quite an easy style
with a tender heart to match,
and how you'd wear a cheerful smile
then that kindly voice attach.
You are a joy to behold,
even when the times are tough.
You offer a hand to hold
whenever the road seems rough.
You are thoughtful with advice
when you have some to share
and would show up in a trice
when you're needed to be there.
You are an angel, that much is true.
Thanks so much for just being you.
