WISDOM HAS NO BOUNDRIES

 

Call to me and I will answer you, and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.

 

“Incline your ear, and come to me; hear, that your soul may live.

 

I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you.

 

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.

 

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.”

 

All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness so that we can be equipped for every good work.

 

The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul;

the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple;

the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart;

the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.

 

The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.

There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.

Their voice goes out through all the earth,

and their words to the end of the world.

 

Call to me and I will answer you and will tell you great and hidden things that you have not known.”

“Let me hear what God the LORD will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.

“Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.”

IT’S NOVEMBER

 

I was thinking of you,

And something came up!

“Do you remember that night

When the stars shined bright?”

We were lying upon the grass,

And just letting time pass . . .

I remember to love in your eyes,

As the whippoorwill made her cries –

I was thinking of you,

And something came up!

“Why today that I now remember,

I mean, it’s November!

Maybe you were thinking of me,

And your spirit won’t let me be!

I was thinking of you,

And now I’m feeling a bit blue!

LYING IN BED

 

Alone in bed

   The night is so still

Silence surrounds me

   Like shadows on a hill,

 

And a feeling comes over me

   Pounding in my head,

Why am I alone,

   And why is it truth I dread?

 

Thoughts of her

   My heart is filled with desire

O this loneliness

   Burns like a raging fire!

 

I feel the coldness of night

   Like snow on a hill,

I lie in this darkness

   Knowing love broke my will!

 

And I know that I

   Will have to face tomorrow

The sad truth

   Only I can bear this sorrow!

MEMORIES HURT

 

The Violin player came to the mic:

I’d like to dedicate this song to my wife –

Her name is Marilyn Monroe Reese,

And I’ll have to admit – she is quite a piece

(Of work) and to think of her my heart hurts!

I close my eyes – I can hear her voice,

And my spirit begins to rejoice –

Looking at the paths of life, we take . . .

But it’s her memory I can never hate!

I guess I can say, “She was a perfect lover,”

And the times we had under the cover!

 

Then he begins to sing and play:

 

          “There will never be another

          A beauty that was like no other

          Oh, the passion in her eyes . . .

          Hear the Violin – hear its cries

          But it’s this you must know:

          The angels came – she had to go!

          Marilyn Monroe Reese was her name,

          But why God, is it You I must blame?

          Sometimes life can do us wrong,

          That’s why I sing this song alone?”

BROKEN HEARTS

 

   Under the Sycamore tree,

   Jenny loved to lie with me,

   And to that I’ll make a note:

   “I loved you to”, I wrote,

O lover! O lover! O lover!

      This heart you didn’t see,

      So please let it all be –

Broken hearts never recover!

 

      I thought you were the one,

   Looking back, I should’ve run,

   But loving you I don’t regret,

   And I’ve not replaced you yet,

O lover! O lover! O lover!

      This heart you didn’t see,

      So please let it all be –

Broken hearts never recover!

A NEW BEGINNING

 

 Once, a man was given his call,

We all take for granted “What he has done,”

So many times, his back is against the wall,

Patriotism beats in his heart as he bows his head,

And he is not a man that turns and runs!

Fear is something he will never dread –

The liberals, and all the little snowflakes,

But this he knows, “Some people will always hate,”

His heart is broken from all the games they play,

But truth will always drive them away!

He will never back down – he knows what it takes,

And with God’s help he is never alone –

Some in his own party have done him wrong!

But we all see the love of this nation in his eyes –

“A loyal man,” let’s all get it straight!

Once again, we are proud as Old Glory flies . . .

“America,” do the right thing – it’s not too late!

Look at this nation and where we have been,

This is a new beginning, and not the end!

SURELY YOU KNOW

 

These are more than words

they come from the heart

and not said lightly

as tears well in my eyes

I love you

 

I know I don’t say them enough

to you, and I’m sorry

but you must know

 

If it were not for you

my life would have no meaning

and for that it’s simple

I love you
