mint green Christmas and
star shaped poinsettias point
at the golden hour
red plant revelry
and hoot owl's quiet in snow
mauve sun is setting
pretty centerpiece
where loved ones gather laughing
......
Blessed are we, who live in His Majesty,
As death comes, and vivid leaves fallen,
And we rise to His glory-once again!
Blessed are we, descendants of nobility,
When darkest night enters on satin feet,
And in hallowed luster, again we meet!
Blessed are we, to bask in love's purity,
His greatest of caring, forever been,
......
The stars will twinkle so brightly,
When our loving Master comes,
So hold onto blissful faith tightly,
Through myriad tangerine suns!
Jade hills will ring with laughter,
In plum diamond sunshine glitter,
As the dim past ceases to matter,
And never again is anyone bitter.

It was late in gorgeous springtime, and I was teaching my class,
A lesson in African history, and the events of time's hourglass.
My fourth graders were very attentive, as I recounted the glory,
Of tales such as Mansa Musa's, maybe the richest man in history!
Sultan of Mali was Mansa Musa, during the far off Middle Ages,
The world's largest gold producers maybe, say the history sages.
When Mali consisted of 400 cities, he was a patron of the arts.

Birds rise on bluest skies, amen;
Candle rites at religious sites, amen.
Redder birds, nature stirred, amen, amen!
Mystery fog and lily pad frog, amen, amen;
Scarlet, sultry, sere, sun sets again, amen.
Total sacrifice and ultimate price, amen;
Rugged cross and gain and loss, amen, amen.
Then the springtime again, amen, amen, amen-
Blossoms swooned, faith ballooned, amen, amen!

He, the word lived in the celestial world.
He was one with the Father and Spirit.
His facets, like petals, slowly unfurled.
To His fervent grace, there was no limit.
In the form of the breeze, He blew around.
As fountains, streams, and rivulets, He flowed.
Over mountains, and valleys He was found.
As the sun, the moon, and the stars, He glowed.

Blessed be the Lord God Almighty,
Who delivereth His generals from the snares of the enemy.
In their great fall, He forsook them not,
But upheld them with His hand and called them once more.
He is the Shepherd who leaves not His own,
The Watchman who allows no harm to overtake His chosen.
Blessed be His Word;
Wise are all His precepts.

I am evil.
I am evil.
And still, in my evil, don’t leave me, Lord.
If You walk away, I will fall.
My flesh will devour me.
I’ve tried to please You
with everything in me,
but I can’t.
I can’t.
