My Elixir of Life
I spend all my time feeling so alone
With no sign of hope all I do is roam
I long to go home to that City so fair
But all before me are people who stare
So cold hearted they are all on their knees
Seeking mere man they are bent to please
This is not the life I seek, to be an appeaser
For what good will come to one who is pleaser?
What I need this Earth has nothing to offer
So I look towards Heaven to fill up my coffer
I know this world is no longer my home
I m just a wayward guest trying to find some rest
His Word I cherish way deep within
Cause its the path thatll lead me to him
With peace and everlasting joy I find
I am the Way the Truth and the Life
And then I praise and thank Jesus
My Elixir of Life!
Unchanging God
My problems are so many
Ive been tried and so weary
until my wits end is near
Dont worry my heart for
My Unchanging God changes
Things for me
You may feel the weight
of the world on your shoulders
as its burdens wear you down
Dont worry your heart for
Your Unchanging God changes
Things for you
Our enemies they watch us
And plague us with fire
They hurl us around until we tire
Dont worry our hearts for
Our Unchanging God changes
Things for us
December
It was a December morn
My heart was filled with trepidation
Cause this was the day it was
No longer just me!
I anxiously watched the hours tick by
And soon the clock was chiming four
The church bells were pealing
Was that all for me?
The house was overflowing
With an excited bunch
Noisily moving to church in a rush
What is this feeling welling in me?
And at the altar stood my half
Wed soon be joined no longer one
and as his face welled up with love
I knew for certain hed complete my heart
For it was this December eve
He promised that he would
Take care of me!
My young man
Tiny little hands
Tiny little feet
Counting five fingers
Counting five toes
So divinely formed
And woven with His intricate hands
A tiny little mouth
With two beady eyes
A smile so tender
A cry so loud
Just to let us know
That he is around!
The first few months
Are the sweetest
Letting him explore
His tiny little world
Soon he will out grow
His tiny little world
Stepping into the pageant of man!
Marana tha Lord!
I wish I could sail upon a cloud so high
And move along to distant skies
To lands unknown by beast or man
To the place we know as City of Gold
To walk along on streets of gold
And bask in the light of Old
To drink from the fountain of Life
And eat from the tree of Life
I will no longer fear the cold long dark nights
For my Lord and my God will shed His great Light
I long to stay in His presence forever
And by His throne I will leave Him never
Surrounded by His mercy and grace
I will always gaze into His face
With the roaring multitude I will cry out
Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty
Who Is? Who Was? and Who is to come!
Marana tha Lord Marana tha
The third degree
My little son hes just about six
He prattles non stop at times I am sick
He knows all the Ws, I dont know how?
And before I know, its the third degree!
I am not given a chance to answer
When hes rattling off another
His questions range from this or that
Wonder what hes at!
Where does the sun go at night?
Why does the moon change its pretty sight?
Where does the sea end?
How does the rain fall?
These questions that keep burning him
while answers for a place to hide within
I am armed with technology as my guiding light
To answer questions am preparing my fight!
Silent Labour of love
My Granny shes loving and sweet
Shes up and about at a quarter to six
She does all her chores
Before the house stirs
Yetshe silently labored with a smile
Silently yet patiently shes at the hot stove
The heavenly smell of coffee brewing
Just tickles the nose with all her toil
While appams are rising and stews on the boil
Yetshe silently labored with a smile
The dishes she prepared was so fab
Her Kormas,curries and fries were so rad
the Puttu and dosa were heavens delight
Many a time wed put up a fight
Yet she silently labored with a smile
I miss my dear Nana with all of my heart
But I cherish her memories and all she taught
Her duty she did without any fee
She lives in my heart forever and free
No Longershe silently labours with a smile
