ONLY TRUTH WITH LOVE CAN BE ENOUGH

(dealing with Trump)

“With Ignoramus Number One in charge, our troubles all may grow a lot more Large! Who really rules, I think that I can guess: the military, hot ta make more mess. ~ So, what’s a caring citizen ta do? We gotta know just what is going on! And corporate media won’t grant a clue, we must wake Up, before our chance is gone! Just what is true we really gotta know, and not just entertain ourselves each night! The networks only care about their dough; we can’t consume their lies, if we’d get right! If what ya hear ain’t kindly, it ain’t true. It must be helpful, necessary stuff! And seeking Truth is what we need ta do, and only truth with love can be enough!"

SOMETIMES YOU NEED TO...

“Let go, and let the blessings flow. Be kind, enjoy your peace o’ mind. Be free, the way ya ought ta be.”

A PRAYER RE LOVE

(to someone like me)

“Why aren’t ya prayin’ ‘bout most everything? Why not maintain a loving attitude? Much good from such an attitude could spring, might even get your foes ta goodness wooed! So why not concentrate on love today? Forgiving ‘s also very wise ta do. Yes, get it on for Jesus, whilst ye may, let love’s sweet spirit get a hold on You! OK?”

A DIFFERENT FOCUS

“Not into being ‘all that I can be’. Could dig ta be a kind and gentle soul. How ‘bout a world that’s peaceful, just, and free, ‘bout making Heaven here on Earth our goal?”

A PRAYER FOR LOVERS

“Between us, Let there Be no Unkind Talk! And May our Love cast Out all Fears an' Spite! With Faith an' Courage, Let's Together Walk, and Pause at Times, ta Hold each Other Tight!... Please, Heaven, guide with Truth our Every Choice; in Peaceful Beauty May we Daily Live! And May your Grace, please, Help us Both rejoice... and Ask and Offer Thanks for All ya Give!... And Make us Bold and Brave ta Share your Love, the Sweetest Stuff of All ta Get ta Know! Your Kingdom Come is What we're Dreaming Of – please Strengthen Both of Us ta Help it Grow! Thank You!”

TALKING SENSE TO MY SELF

“Why try ta save yourself? That’s Jesus’ job! It’s something you can’t do, but Buddha can! Your enemy can only kill, and rob, but Heaven’s got for you a better plan! Yes, you’re ta give, create, and love a lot... receive a world of happy blessings, too! Why not be grateful now, for all ya got, and ask the Prince of Peace ta rescue you?”

PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD!

“Dig, where an idol’s worshiped, madness rules; please, don’t ya choose a savior-substitute! When, desperate souls become an idol’s fools, that idol still ain’t gonna give a hoot! An idol cannot care, it’s got no heart; a human can approximate that state. An idol’s got no brain, it isn’t smart! Let’s love and pray, the hour’s getting late! We’ve got ta turn our Ship of State around, stop sailing off ta savage other lands! In Beauty, Love, and Truth the Christ is found, in every human heart that understands! Which shall I choose, the Lord, or something else? Will I decide ta love, or just not care? Am I ta share, or just indulge my self? If we’d have peace, the path we must prepare!”

TALING TO THE HOLY SPIRIT

“Just how can I be kind ta me right now – just what’s the very kindest thing ta do? I Must NO SELF-INDULGENCE Here Allow! Please, help me be ta me most kind and true! In Jesus’ name, amen!"

STOP THE MADNESS

“Seems Trump’s committing evil acts each day (Fantasia’s Mickey wreaks disaster too)! No consequences will the scoundrels weigh, they act as if they haven’t got a clue! What’s gonna happen here on Planet Earth? We can’t let greedy liars steal and kill! They’re messin’ up this world for all they’re worth, and all their pockets they intend ta fill! Let noncooperation be our plan, resistance strong and mighty all the time. ‘Cause we can stop those scoundrels, yes, we can! We gotta stop the world-destroyin’ crime! Are ya with me?”

PRAY ABOUT DECISIONS

(to my self)

“It makes no sense ta do a cruel thing, ‘cause as ya sow, ya certainly will reap. From never prayin’, bad decisions spring; please, Pray – ‘cause why end up in trouble deep?”

FOR EVERY ONE OF US

“The hardened hearts of those who’re out ‘o touch… the cruelty of those who fail ta care – these call for us ta love, and Very Much, in fact, our loving’s needed Everywhere!”

A GUY'S PRAYER

“Please make of me a kinder, wiser man – please, help me do the very best I can. At times I might not be too sweet or smart, so, grant me, please, an understanding heart!”

PLEASE HANG IN THERE

“The Savior’s love’s the most inspiring stuff, much more than what I’ll do, or say, or write. His love will always be much more ‘n enough; his love ‘ll fill ya up with Heaven’s light. So, please, do not lose hope, despair, or quit, if circumstances ever tempt your heart! Let Heaven keep your little love lamp lit; please, don’t be scared ta make a brand new start!”

LOVING-KINDNESS SAVES

“Now, why did we elect the shameless ones? We seemed ta have a need ta self-destruct. We’ve killed abroad with missiles, bombs, and guns; in many ways our policies have sucked! When we must choose, let’s choose true kindness first, ‘cause that’s the way ta turn this ship around. The foolish folks may always do their worst, but all the lost will change when they get found! – you better believe it!”

IF YOU WOULD EXERCISE

“If you would exercise, first, work your mind, and pray that all your fears would leave your heart. The most important thing is bein’ kind, and bein’ kind ta you ‘s one place ta start. Yes, ask the Lord for love, and wisdom, too, and offer thanks for everything he gives. You’ll find your praying ‘s really helping you! The one who prays more fully, freely lives!”

PLEASE FORGIVE ME!

I’m very sorry I offended you. Please, friends, forgive my faithless lack of care. More often I must Pray, before I “do”, if I would do some good, I must prepare. I really wish for you a joyful day, that everything works out the best for you. There’s only one more little thing I’d say: may all your sweetest dreams today come true!"

FORGIVE ME!

"My poems gotta offer readers hope; forgive me, Lord, if ever I have not! It’s love, and peace, and Joy that help us cope; please, help me give ‘em all ‘o those I got!"

PLEASE, HEAVEN, HELP ME HELP

“Ya bless me richly every day and night, so, how can I say, ‘Thank Ya, Lord!' enough? Oh, I can care for me… and shine my light, but how about some extra-special stuff? If I could bring some joy to those who’re sad, and if I could inspire some waiting hearts, and bring some love ta folks who hate, who’re mad, now that ‘d be where peace and justice starts! So, Heaven, help me work some wonders, please? ‘Cause there’s a need for miracles, today! Please, help me help the One Who Saves and Frees, who helps all souls who’re lost ta find their way. Please, Heaven, help me help the Lord! And thank ya for doin’ so!”

THINGS TO PRAY

“Too often, reader, I neglect ta pray! It only takes a word, or two, or three! And, if I’d have a good, successful day, there’s gotta be some prayin’ done by me! ‘I love and trust you, Lord, I need you so.’ Now, these are things that anyone can say; like, ‘help me, thank you, bless me head-ta-toe.’ – Please, help me pray the earnest, faithful way.”
