I Refuse To Be Discouraged : 10/14/2008
I refuse to be discouraged, To be sad, or to cry; I refuse to be downhearted, and here's the reason why . . .
I have a God who's mighty, Who's sovereign and supreme; I have a God who loves me, and I am on His team. He is all wise and powerful, Jesus is His name; Though everything is changeable, My God remains the same. My God knows all that's happening; Beginning to the end, His presence ...

The Wealth That Endures: 10/13/2008
You may lay up vast riches of silver and gold, Of precious jewels and treasures untold. When you come at last to the end of the road, Your wealth will be what you've given the Lord.
You may own countless acres, a lordly estate, You may dwell in a mansion costly and great; But the mansions in glory will only be given To those whose treasure is laid up in heaven.
Your name may be ...

The Letter 10/12/2008
Just a line to say I'm living, That I'm not among
the dead Though I'm getting more forgetful And something's
slipping in my head;
I got used to arthritis, To my dentures I'm resigned.
I can manage my bifocals, But oh, how much I miss my mind.
For sometimes I cannot remember When I stand atop the stairs,
If I must go down for something Or if I've just come up
from there. ...

Take A By The: 10/9/2008
Take a by the hand, and show him the way. Lead a each morning, into a beautiful day.
Take a by the mind, and give him the strength; to fight every challenge, and go to great lengths.
Take a by the soul, and let God be known; for it is by his mighty grace, that so big they have grown.
Take a by his sight, and show him wonders galore. Teach ...

New Shoes In Church 9/27/2008
I showered and shaved............... I adjusted my tie.
I got there and sat................. In a pew just in time.
Bowing my head in prayer............ As I closed my eyes.
I saw the shoe of the man next to me. Touching my own. I sighed. With plenty of room on either side, I thought, 'Why
must our soles touch?' It bothered me, his shoe touching
mine. But it didn't bother him much. A prayer ...

What Made Me Me: 9/23/2008
Long ago and far away, In a land that time forgot, Before the days of Dylan, Or the dawn of Camelot. There lived a race of innocents, And they were you and me, Long ago and far away In the Land That Made Me Me.
Oh, there was truth and goodness In that land where we were born, Where navels were for oranges, And Peyton Place was porn. For Ike was in the White House, And Hoss was on TV, And ...

"TEARS" 9/21/2008
The tears of gentle compassion, fall easily
from the eye, A silent token for the memories - of those who've had
to die; 'Twas 1st a G.ma & then my Mum, now even the EX - I
fear, Just a memory (?) No, & it's not the 1st, to summon
that silent tear:
First a thought & then a memory, start that welling
deep inside, We always fight, but always lose, from them we cannot hide;

Golden Blooms 9/21/2008
The Golden_Blooms of summer Turn a mortal shade of grey, & Evenings draw in closer Bringing morning mists to stay;
Tears now falling upon the moonlight will remain hidden throughout the night, Because my hearts lost it's lustre Now that you have moved away;
Throughout our playfull friendship we enjoyed a platonic relation, And even though illness seperates us ...

Thoughts - of my "FRIENDS" 9/21/2008
Forever young I'll live my life not
worried that I'm single, I fill my life with many thoughts of friends with whom I mingle;
And when I've lived my time on Earth & my life finally
ENDS... I'll tell the LORD I've enjoyed my life - living
with thoughts of friends:
BUT - The Lord & I - we both shall know, there's JUST
no truth in it, Because most of "my_life" - I've lived

I (?) AM ... (as written by my tortured soul - in 1997/1998) 9/21/2008
I am who is, who never was, whoever came before;
'Tis plain to see - I am that he, who never is no more:
I slowly watch as my thoughts walk across yon faded sky;
Moving forests of dead trees, within the ocean of my glass
eye:
Just drive along life's highway - that's not yet
started to be built; Hang-a-left, past my future_mall, before those flowers
start to wilt: ...

"Friendships" (as written by me - 12/9/1997) 9/21/2008
I believe in "FRIENDSHIPS"
Although in friendships I get hurt, And I dislike those friends Whom tread my face into the dirt;
I believe in FAIRY_TALES & the LORD's tales of long ago, Of little fairies in the woods & lambs tails - to & fro;
I believe in BUTTERFIES Altho' BUTTER - flies - when thrown, & it's not able - to be spread When to HEAD - it has FLOWN; ...

Dream Time Night (penned by myself - 5/6/1997) 9/21/2008
Far & away the fancy flies, Into the Dream Time Night; Floating softly in my memories, Until the new dawn light:
I remember when I was often lonely, When I was oh so young; Have lived & loved - yet alone again, My heart it has been wrung:
Some days the sky is blue & clear, Still others it is just "over_cast"; I don't care when it's hard to bear, Because my "Lord" ...

A Friend Like You : 9/20/2008
There's lots of things With which I'm blessed, My problems have been few, But of all, this one's the best To have a friend like you.
In times of trouble Friends will say, "Just ask, I'll help you through it." But, you don't wait for me to ask, You just get up and do it!
And I can think Of nothing more That I could wisely do, Than know a friend, And be a friend, And have a friend ...

tender lie 9/9/2008
You said, "I'm not afraid."
I know you meant the Truth,
But you lied (in part),
Not knowing
You forgot about One thing:
Your heart.

Untitled 9/9/2008
Untitled (E Miller/1997)
You showed me myself.
You uncovered me by being who you are.
I felt safe. I felt loved. I felt beautiful.
I felt new. I felt alive.
Now I can't find you.
But I will last.
Thank you.

Wrong Room 9/9/2008
Wrong Room -----------
Today you followed me to bed,
But when we reached my pillow
There we found our shells, instead.
Wanting to be real; shallow, yet, the feel--
I beneath, you above--
Better we had sent our bodies out
And let our hearts make love.

I Dreamed Of Death: 8/12/2008
I dreamed of death the other night, And Heaven's gate swung wide, An Angel came with halo bright To usher me inside. And there! To my astonishment Stood folks I'd judged and labeled As "quite unfit", "of little worth"
And "spiritually disabled." Indignant words rose to my lips, But never were set free. For every face showed stunned surprise Not one expected ME!

It Takes Strength, It Takes Courage 8/3/2008
It takes strength to be firm It takes courage to be gentle. It takes strength to stand guard. It takes courage to let down your guard. It takes strength to conquer. It takes courage to surrender. It takes strength to be certain. It takes courage to have doubt. It takes strength to fit in. It takes courage to stand out. It takes strength to feel a friend's pain. It takes courage to feel your own ...

One Day A Mother Died 8/3/2008
One day a mother died. And on that clear, cold morning, in the warmth of her bedroom, the was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn't any more.
No more hugs, no more lucky moments to celebrate together, no more phone calls just to chat, No more 'just one minute'
Sometimes, what we care about the most goes away. never to return before we can say good-bye, Say ...

A Little More Kindness 8/3/2008
A little more kindness and a little less creed, A little more giving and a little less greed. A little more smile and a little less frown, A little less kicking when a man is down. A little more "we" and a little less "I", A little more laugh and a little less cry. A little more flowers on the pathway of life, And fewer on graves at the end of the strife.

God's Plan 7/28/2008
Not until each loom is silent And the shuttles cease to fly, Will God unroll the pattern And explain the reason why The dark threads are as needful In the Weaver's skilful hand As the threads of gold and silver For the pattern that He planned.

Grab A Tissue Or Stay Away, Daddy's Day 7/27/2008
Her hair up in a ponytail, her favorite dress tied with a
bow. Today was Daddy's Day at school, and she couldn't
wait to go.
But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should
stay home. Why the might not understand, if she went to school
alone.
But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say. What to tell her classmates, on this Daddy's Day.
But still her ...

I Believe: 7/9/2008
I believe that our background and circumstances may have
influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we
become.
I believe that no matter how good a friend is, they're
going to hurt you every once in a while, and you must forgive
them for that.
I believe that just because someone doesn't love you
the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't
love you with all they ...
