Abandon Not
RTabs Dec 2018
Abandon not
Yourself to woe,
That clouds the soul in gloom.
The desperate and darkest times
They promise none but doom.

Abandon not
The folks and friends
Who still believe in you.
Although at times
They're just as blank
And don't know what to do.

Abandon not
The faith within
In all that you hold true
That light -- If but a flicker,
That tiny gleam called YOU.

Abandon not
The chance that truth
Shall liberate your soul
In time you'll know
So until then --
You best  ABANDON NOT!!
This goes out to those who are struggling, crying, hurting, suffering, groping in the dark, lonely, sleepless, afraid and troubled.
We've all been there one time or another, maybe we just took turns.
There is good reason of our existence so if nothing else comes to us, we might as well spend our time finding that reason. God bless us all!  :-)

SICK :(
RTabs Dec 2018
I'm wanting of sleep,
I've not enough rest.
But I can still function
I'll just do my best.

Yours truly
Is a bit of a toughie.
No choice, my sweet,
I have to be!

Stethoscope
RTabs Dec 2018
I been to see my doc.
A-sneezing, sniffing
And coughing, coughing
Me not so well, me thinks.

He put a steth to me therefore --
My chest, my back
And listening, listening,
He didn't hear a thing.

But without a steth and not much thought,
I heard within his tummy
A-rumbling, rumbling and a-grumbling
My doctor is a-hungry!

Goodnight
RTabs Dec 2018
Now the day draws to a close,
Lay thee down in sweet repose.
On the morrow as you wake
All the chances are yours to take.

HOPE
RTabs Dec 2018
Alive! Awake!
The day's begun,
As certainly as we
Oh, mortals who
Ourselves entrust
Entirely unto Thee!

That Thee do bless,
That Thee do love
That humbly We implore
Time and beyond -
Pray, do allow -
Be Thine forevermore!

— The End —
