Queen Mother

 


Wives, a man may have many,

A mother, only one,

Though the accidents may differ,


The form is that of a human,

Each animated by a Soul.

One King of kings, above all others,


With Him, they all share the earth;

Its oxygen, food, shelter, and

The kind love of a Mother.

Wasting Time

 

Time moves the same for

Each man, woman, child;

Regardless wealth, race, or health.

Each place in the world,

Time is impartial.

Gift from the Creator,

To spend it in His service,

For His glory, our Maker.


Why excuse yourself?

Small acts are received,

Prayers are heard throughout one’s life,

Small gestures are seen.

Why not trust instead?

God wastes no span of life

Offered in love and reverence

Whether with ease or in strife.

Nature and Grace

 

Dogged, the long days,

Triple digit scores,

They’re blithe to the rich and poor.

Triple Coequal,

Dogged your desire,

To save people from sin:

Subject to the cold and heat,

You rose from your earth-born skin.


Jesus is the name

Above all others,

One word for my lips at death;

Above this blue world,

Jesus alone saves;

Son of David, Christ is

Anointed by the Father,

The Messiah’s mission His.

Free to Ride

 

I am not good at

Closing down chapters;

There’s a sad pang, donating.

Closing open doors,

I gave up two bikes.

Inflated the flat tires,

Dreamt of round wind roads still to ride:

Paid for two new young riders.


His sandals were worn.

One tunic He wore.

Christ in love, not turned to things,

One with the Father;

His life spent for man.

I did not have to be,

My creation is God’s high boast:

A donation set me free.
