Jacob had a dream,
Herod had a scheme.
Jacob's dream was hope for tomorrow,
Schemes can only bring you much sorrow.

God had a great plan,
to save fallen man,
for those who trust in Jesus' name,
to deliver those from sin and shame.

What will it be friend?
What will be your end,
to listen to the world, and its schemes,
or to let Jesus fill Heaven's dreams?

I Forgive

I know I could be unkind,
but it's not my frame of mind,
to be that way.
in things I say.

I just walk away from those,
who laugh at my ragged clothes,
but they should know,
it hurts me so.

Vengeance is not part of me,
so I just let some things be,
I walk away
from hurt each day.

Revenge is not sweet at all,
it is more bitter than gall,
so I forgive,
live, and let live

Not Like Mine

I don't feel good, or bad, but I don't feel right,
could it have been something I dreamed of last night?
Perhaps if I searched in my subconscious mind,
the truth of it all would be easy to find.

Please tell me how things may be going for you,
are you feeling a little weird like me too?
Maybe things in your world are going just fine,
if they are, I must say, they are not like mine.

Smile

Some mornings don't turn out the way you want the to,
just pick yourself up again, it's all you can do.
Sometimes when you pick roses, you will touch a thorn,
sometimes in the book of life, a page will be torn.

Sorrow is not forever, it's just for awhile,
and when you pick the thorn from your finger, just smile.

Have A Happy Day

How my poems are viewed, I often find,
depends on what is on the reader's mind.
If you come here carrying a bitter grudge,
be careful what you say, or who you judge.

Remember there will come a judgement day,
when you must answer for each word you say.
Point out my flaws, but if the truth be known,
I am sure you plenty of your your own.

I think I have said all I want to say,
except to tell you: have a happy day!

Bitter Seeds

So many think they are right, but wake up to find,
they were not being wise at all, they were just blind.
But I must forgive those who may think they are smart,
who's only happiness is tearing lives apart.

For the bitter seeds they sow, they will reap their shame,
and when things go wrong, they will have themselves to blame.
