DEAR BROTHER

Dear Brother

Dear brother in burnoose,
dear dad in business suit:
We ain’t gonna make much progress,
till someone gives a hoot.
You just can’t hide your monkey,
can’t hide your fearful eyes
by putting on a show of force
along with your disguise.
You can shave
and puff your chest out,
n wear a regimental tie
but you’re gonna be buck naked
when you meet the One on High.
You can posture, scream and holler,
pound your fist and bare your teeth.
But on top is skin and culture styles;
We're all alike here underneath.

IN SHORT

Forgive them, love them, grant us peace

and that's my prayer
here ta-Day.

LET ME HOPE

Let Me Hope

Let me not be angry,
Let me not be mean.
Let me not be spiteful.
Let me not complain.
Let me not be fearful,
Let me not fuss and fret.
Let me not despair one bit.
Let me hope in You, Lord, yet.

LOVE

LOVE


Got a one-way ticket to Heaven on Earth
Spelled L-O-V-E, I tell ya what it's worth:
's worth more than Bill Gates and a Saudi prince,
or the gross national product; they’re all some hints.
'S worth more than NASA or any oil guy.
'S got greater power than the sun in our sky.
'S got the power to build and power to create,
it beats greed and delusion, fears and hate.
's got the power ta preserve what's good and kind;
's got the power to purify your heart 'n mind.
LOVE is the power that'll see you through;
It'll save the world, I tell ya what to do:
LOVE!

MEETING BLESSED

Meeting Blessed

You might meet Blessed tomorrow
You might have met Her yesterday;
But if you want to meet Him

We've gotta take time ta pray.

ON PRAYER

On Prayer

"I love You" is the very Best.
"I need You" soars aBove the rest.
"I thank You" rises 'bove them all.
"Oh, please!" is our own Primal call.
It matters Not much What you say,
the Blest interprets anyway.
Be silent; listen Very Well
and tune in 'fore She has to yell!
The Blest knows What
one needs to do,
and He will not give Up on you.
But give your All to Her today;
don't Wait until you're Old and Gray.
He'll light your Path
and ease your load;
you'll walk uPon
the Bliss-bound Road.
There's not much More
that may be said;
don't praise Me Now,
praise God instead!

TESTIMONY POEM

Testimony Poem

I once had a hunger that food could not fill --
Thirty years ago, and I remember it still.
Anything I ate made me violently sick;
Anything I ate came out both ends real quick.
My doctor poked and prodded me along,
But finally said, "I can't tell you what's wrong."
I couldn't do nothin' but continue my fast,
and before I knew it near three weeks had passed.
The doctor said, "It can’t be found in any tome!"
I said, "It's emotional," and went on home.
I still couldn't eat, but I went to a church,
and when the time was come, I left my perch.
I went to the front, and invited Him in;
I was persuaded that I needed a Friend.
When Monday came, I asked the preach to pray,
he anointed me with oil and from that day
I've been able to eat – you might now see:
Jesus saved my life back then and set me free!

PRAISE ONE, THANK ONE, ASK ONE

Praise One, Thank One, Ask One

You are so very good to me and mine!
Dear Blest, Your heart and ear to me incline.
I thank you, Blest of All, You're such a gift!
Accept, please, all the praise and thanks I lift.
How great Your goodness, tongue may never tell,
Nor brush may paint, nor busy pen may spell.
My desperate eyes implore You, grant my plea!
Dear Blest, please help, please bless and favor me!
Please show me how ta make my life a prayer,
with tough yet Tenderhearted loving care.
Please tell me what I promptly need to do
to help with truth and kindness, beauty too.
Let living truth become my humble way,
turn darkness light as bright midday.
Confusing, murky things make crystal clear,
transform to courage each abiding fear.
Make wayward heart and thoughts and will aligned,
and give directions Plain, for me ta mind.
I love You, Blest, I need your guiding light.
Dear Lord, please turn my life from wrong to right.

PRAYER II

Prayer

If you would Pray unto the Blest,
look in your Loved one's Eyes,
and tell them that you
Love them Dearly;
let God's Glory Rise.
If you would worship
living Truth,
be quiet for a spell;
Let go your thoughts,
just let them pass;
attend, and do that well.
If you'd commune
with All creation,
thank eternal Grace,
and find within your every breath...
the homeland of God’s face.
A written Prayer's but a Matrix,
Helping You begin,
so reach out for a Guiding Star,
and Let The Light Shine In!

Thank You, Blest, for guiding me
and showing me Your way.
Thank You for providing much,
meeting my every need.
Thank You, Blest, for friendship;
You are my Friend indeed!
Thank You, Blest, for challenges,
they help to make me grow.
Thank You for Your reminding
me that money is a flow.
Thank You, Blest, for courage, grace,
and patience, all the gifts You bring.
Thank You, Blest,
for this entire Universe;

Thank You for Everything!
