Time
It flies
If we don’t pause
We’ll never find
The treasures hidden
In these hard and beautiful days
Joy and pain
Sun and rain
So often united
Time
Don’t take it for granted
It comes
But it goes away
When we look back what will we see?
Did we stop
To live, to change, to believe
Or did we run
Without a dream?
So live today
As the gift it is
From the God who created us to be
His hands and feet
Time
It changes
This world in need
As we give Him everything
These summer days
They slip away
Before you know it
Fall leaves arrayed
Beneath our feet
The earth grows cold
And here comes winter
Ever bold
‘Tis the truth
Since times old
Seasons change
There’s sun
There’s snow
But God’s love won’t let us go
These winter days
Burst into spring
And once again we’ll learn to sing
These summer days
Aren’t here to stay
So cherish them in every way
For the gift they are
Today

inspired by Summer Time
So I’ve been quiet
It’s hard to explain
How poetry comes and goes away
But that’s okay
I know this will change
I’ll share some more
Sometime
Someday
I’m just quiet here
Today
Today is a promise to tomorrow
A dream
A commitment
An adventure to follow
With God as the compass
And love as the guide
You’ll climb every mountain
And cross rivers wide
No journey is easy
But no words can explain
The joy & the beauty
That sings in the rain
Sunshine will brighten
Hearts held by grace
And hope gives strength
Day by day
It’s a heritage you’re forming
A home established forever
Built by the One
Who brought you
Together
–For Silas & Abigail LaGoy. Yahweh bless you more than you can dream!
You’ve much to learn
Little man
But for today just stay
Wrapped tightly in your mommy’s hug
Or playing with your siblings in the sun
Down the trail and to the creek
Imagination dancing with your little feet
God’s got a plan
Little man
For whatever trail you meet
******************
inspired by The Trail
Though you’re young
Don’t be afraid
To keep on climbing
Day by day
Life’s got valleys
But it’s got mountains too
The key is to trust Him
No matter the view

We don’t know
What tomorrow will bring
And what it’ll take
We just have to believe
And step out in faith
So let it go
And live today
A beautiful adventure for you awaits
Not because it’s easy
But because it’s His
And He will lead you through
Whatever it is
Sunrise
Sunset
Restless sleep
Get up
Check your phone
Short prayer
Busy day
A quick hug
Distracted listening
Lack of vision
Days blur together
What is tomorrow?
It is today
Where are we going?
Stop.
Run to a quiet place
Sit
Rest
Let Him come
In His time
Changing your heart
Thunder rolls
Music plays
Your heart sings along
Dancing in the rain
Joy through the pain
Faith, hope, and love remain
Let go of the past
Cherish the moment
Live for Him today
And today will become tomorrow
And tomorrow will become history
And your story will be written
And the ending is only the beginning
Of His glory reflecting
On the shards of a shattered, human heart
That glistens as gold in eternal light
