If you lived to please yourself, The pages will be bare. And God will issue no reward, For you when you get there. In fact, you'll be embarrassed, You will hang your head in shame.

But you will always wonder, As you enter heaven's door, How much more there would have been, If only you'd done more. For I record as God sees it, I don't stop to even think. Because the truth is written, With God's ETERNAL INK. When I ...

Don't forget the sound of laughter, Or the love in someone's eyes, Don't trade memories for pleasures, All that in a moment dies.

There's nothing wrong my little son, for safe we sleep tonight, our heroes stand on foreign land to give us all the right, to worry on the things in life that mean nothing at all, instead of wondering if we will be the next to fall. He looked at me as children do and said it's always right, to thank the ones who help us and perhaps that we should write. And so we pushed aside the bills and sat to draft a note, to thank the many far from home, and this is what we wrote: God bless you all ...

... He Walks Beside Me" Does He not see my ways, And count my every step ?" (Job 31: 14) He grasps my trembling hand, And gives me energy and pep. As I walk through the dark valleys, Stumbling, falling, crying out in pain, He is there beside me, Telling me it's not all in vain.

I thank Him for my dark valleys, And for the courage to conquer tests, For now I am the winner, And I enjoy His ...
149. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- God's Seeds. [Poems]
... God's Seeds We are but seeds in God's garden, His garden on Earth, His delight, the Planter of all of the seeds, the marvelous Giver of life. Planted with love and care, will we then take root and grow? His help is essential at first and throughout the process, we know. For a seed cannot live without water. A seed cannot live without light. To grow as He wished when planted we must seek the water and light. Pursuing with all of our heart those things for survival we need. If we are to live to the fullest, the Planter we must receive. For He is the Light and the Water. He is everything that we need. To have life abundant and joyful in the Giver of life, we believe.

Yes time will tell who belongs to Him, God needs some workers whose light is not dim, to let the mockers know that He loves them still, He'd save their soul and give them a thrill. Father God is not out to hurt any one, like a thief and a murderer who shoots to kill with his gun, What he wants to do is love you so much, that you can't live without His touch. Once they have tasted and see He's so good, He'll change their lives, they'll live like they should, Their hearts and minds will be different then, they'll turn their backs away from sin. The God they once mocked, and joked about, becomes their best friend without a doubt, now ...

On Christmas Eve at bedtime As you fold your hands to pray, Promise in your heart To keep the joy of Christmas Day !"" Now hurry home! This freezy wind Is turning your cheeks pink! And ask your dad To trim that trunk and give that tree a drink !" And so it went on All that blustery eve As the tree man gave Tree upon tree upon tree To every last person Who came to the lot-Who toasted with cocoa In small paper cups, Who promised the promise Of joy in their hearts-And singing out carols, Drove off in the dark. And when it was over One tree stood alone; But no one was left there To give it a home. The tree man put ...
161. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- The Nail. [Poems]
... silver, or some kind that s not as pure? If I should be gold or silver, I might one day become a crown; With diamonds, rubies and sapphires, embedded all around. I might become a beautiful necklace to adorn a maiden fair. Or I could become the ring that joins together a loving pair. Oh, it would be so wonderful to become a part of some treasure, for people do love pretty things, to enjoy and give them pleasure. I was distraught to learn I was simply iron and not purest gold. But many important things can be made from iron, I've been told. Strong tools are made from iron, so I could be put to good use. Since these are needed in life, this gave my hopes a new boost. One day I arrived at a smithy s shop with metals of many kinds. I wondered what I would become, and what the smithy had ...
... That First Pair One day the Lord said:" Adam, you need 'the gentler touch '~Someone to aid you in your work In naming beasts and such." So I'll create a woman, And she'll be your helpmeet; She'll give more meaning to your life And make you feel complete." I'll make her spirit sweeter, And soften her a bit; I'll give her heart some extra warmth And love before I quit." And as the seasons come and go, You'll find she grows more dear; She'll be more precious in your eyes With each new passing year." And you must seek to please her, And keep the romance fresh; For she will be bone of your bones, And the flesh of your flesh" And that's how it first started, That's how it all began~God made a woman that same day, And gave her to the man. So each year you're together, You ...
163. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- She Knew. [Poems]
... She Knew My mother always told me all about the pearly gate, And told me when it was her time she would not hesitate. She loved her life on earth and all that God had given her, But when this life was over she was absolutely sure. That she would see her Savior and would go to be with Him, She wanted so to thank Him for removing all her sin. She always talked about the place that He went to prepare, And always told us that she knew that she was going there. She lived life to the fullest and was happy all the time, And even when the problems came she'd smile instead of whine. She said" this life was beautiful you do the best you can, As long as you have faith in God you know it's in His plan" She always would amaze us with the knowledge that she had, But told us that religion was the thing that made her ...
... Remember To Smile A smile can light a candle, In a lonely heart, It's like a sunny morning, That warms a new day's fresh start. Like a new mother's smile that cradles Her baby with pure love, Or a father's smile when he gives his young son, A new baseball glove. When we think about the world's sad woes, The hungry and the poor. We often do what is expected, But a smile will open the door. There's problems with acceptance Of so many strangers on our shore, But a warm smile can often lighten, Someone's day as never before. Sometimes a smile is like a rainbow, Shining through a misty cloud, That cheers an aggravated soul, In the midst of an unseeing crowd. Remember to smile today, Every where you go. It may not solve all the problems, But it will soften life's not so gentle blows. A smile is good medicine, It can turn ...
... Restoration Vision Oh my God, place within me, Your joy, Your righteousness, Your song. Give me the sight to see, Beyond my childish dreams. Create a heart within me, Free from bitterness and spite. Place in me a joy, Your LOVE, For treating others kind and right. Let me not look longingly, inwardly, At what I fail to find in me. Turn my vision selflessly, To what others ' needs may be. Give me the strength and patience, To humbly, mercifully carry through, With the big and little things, That, in right heart, does glory to YOU.~Sherry Lynn Gardner~[ By: Sherry Lynn Gardner Copyright 1986-Submitted by Sherry Gardner (sherrygardner @rogers.com)] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... Seeing God in Everything" Oh I need a new idea ," I said, While thinking on a sleepless bed;" A new idea that'll bring to earth, A balm for souls, of priceless worth; That'll give men thoughts of things above, And teach them how to serve and love, That'll banish every selfish thought, And rid men of the sins they've fought" At last the new thought came, I'm here to tell; It came to me, when on bended knee I fell, And sought from Him who knows full well, The way our sorrow's to expel. So, see God in all things, great and small, And give Him praise whatever befalls, In life or death, in pain or woe, Because God can overcome all your foes. I saw Him in the morning light, He made the day shine clear and bright. I saw Him at the noon-tide hour, And He blessed me with ...

... The Sin of Omission It isn't the thing you do, dear, Its the thing you leave undone That gives you a bit of a heartache At setting of the sun. The tender work forgotten, The letter you did not write, The flowers you did not send, dear, Are your haunting ghosts at night. The stone you might have lifted Out of a brother's way; The bit of heartsome counsel You were hurried too much to say; The loving touch of the hand, dear, The gentle, winning tone Which you had no time nor thought for With troubles enough of your own. Those little acts of kindness So easily out of mind, Those chances to be angels Which we poor mortals find~They come in night and silence, Each sad, reproachful wraith, When hope is faint and flagging, And a chill has fallen on faith. For life is all too short, dear, And sorrow is all to ...

They have so much in common and they have right from the start, Everything from sense of humor to a loving heart. What a pair their friends have said, no one could find it odd, Because you two are very much like two peas in a pod. You laugh and joke and just enjoy all that this life can give, We'll never see two more like you as long as we will live. If ever two belonged together it must be your fate, Now we understand the term when people say" soulmate" She smiles again and feels so warm, he is a handsome man, Nobody ever made her feel the way that this man can. His heart is full of love for her like she has never seen, Sometimes he makes her feel and act just like a giggling teen. ...

... You Don't Have To Go It Alone There are days when you stagger and days when you fall, and days when you can't seem to stand up at all. But you don't have to go it alone. You don't have to carry the load. You can give it to Jesus at the side of the road You don't have to go it alone. There are days when your heartbreak is too much to bear and days when you're too hurt to offer a prayer. But you don't have to go it alone. You don't have to dry your own tears, You can give them to Jesus along with your fears. You don't have to go it alone. Cause there's power in the blood and true love from the cross a companion for everyone who's ever felt lost. There's more healing and comfort than you've ever known, You don't have to go it alone.~Jack Zavada~[ by: Jack Zavada Copyright 2007 (jackzavada ...

This evening, I will snuggle beside you for hours, and forget about my favorite TV shows. This evening, when I run my fingers through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.

Praying Time Each afternoon at three o'clock, I kneel beside my bed, And empty all the muddled thoughts that clutter up my head; I set my mind on Jesus & I bless His Holy Name, And if the day has all gone wrong, I praise Him just the same. I list each thing that troubles me & name them off in prayer; I give them all to Jesus & I trust them to His care; I thank Him for the good things & I list them one-by-one; My heart's a great deal lighter when my praying-time is done. I ask the Lord to guide my life, to give my steps direction; I thank him for His thoughts of me & hour-by-hour protection; In confidence, I ask for gifts that only come from Him, And dwell upon His mighty pow'r until my problems dim. I pray for friends, for needs, for wants, & for His perfect will, And then I ...

I have water to give you know not of, She didn't know He was from above, If you drink you'll never thirst, He wanted to take care of her first. Go call your husband and come to me, Her answer was she had none you see, There were five husbands in her life, She had one now, but was not his wife.

Just look for the marvels That He gives each day you live and draw a breath; Thank him for your Savior Jesus Who came to die for you, And by rising, gave you victory over death.

When I wake up in the morning, I thank Jesus for this day, He walks along beside me, Though my feet are mired in clay. He shares with me each morning, In the garden of my heart: He digs out the weeds of destruction, And gives seeds of LOVE a start! He opens new doors of blessedness, He introduces me to His friends. We sit together each morning, He teaches me on Him to depend. Lack of love is this world's problem, It's been buried and burned away. So many times we are too busy, To help a disallusioned castaway!" LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF" That's what the Scriptures say. Yet it's never to late to help another, As we take time to kneel and pray ...

And You continue to bless me each day. It seems the closer I get to You, More blessings come my way. Some blessings that You give me, Outwardly are not perceived. But these are much more valuable, Than others I have received. When I am blessed with inner peace, And joy permeates my soul, When I can live with a future hope, I treasure these more than gold. You never withheld Your blessings, The times I went astray. You always continued to bless me, Though I was in sin and far away. You had to get my attention, When I was being so unwise. The fiery trials You put me through, Were just blessings in disguise. Thank You ...

From wild buttercups to the roses, From mighty eagles to butterflies, God gives life to them all, And how they all multiply! The farmers till the fertile soil, They plant the wheat and corn, They harvest food for the nations, To feed the hungry and forlorn. How about all those great trees, That bear all kinds of nuts and fruit, And the vineyards, heavy-hung, There's no real substitutes!

And you would keep assuring Him You're glad to have Him there-That serving Him in your home Is joy beyond compare. But when you saw Him coming, Would you meet Him at the door With arms outstretched in welcome To your heavenly visitor? Or would you have to change your clothes Before you let Him in Or hide some magazines And put the Bible where they'd been Would you hide your worldly music and put some hymn books out? Could you let Jesus walk right in, or would you rush about? And I wonder-if the Saviour spent a day or two with you, Would you go right on doing, ...

... My Favorite Poet My favorite poet is God above Who gives Earth its rhythm and rhyme. Not pied pipers of misguided souls Who promote distrust, hatred and crime. Poetry is nature serenading in song The peaceful roar of the oceans waves. The wind through the trees and over the hills And the flowers in the fields by the graves. The sound of rain as it waters the thirsty The songs of children at play in the park. The far off rumble of trains or thunder As they pass through the night in the dark. The joy of our babies first words and steps The passion of life with its heroes and clowns. The on going struggle to survive our sins As we proliferate in hamlets and towns. My favorite poet is our Father of love Who was first to know us before birth. His poetry prolongs every thing we love As His deliverance gives life its worth.~Tom Zart~Soldier For The Lord [by: ...

I used to be enthusiastic, AndI served You for many years, Now I am tired and worn out, And prone to selfish tears. Then I picked up my Bible, And this is what you said. Since the New Covenant gives us such confidence we can be very bold. We are not like Moses, Who put a veil over his face, so people would not see the glory (of God) fading away. But the people's minds were hardened, and even to this day, when the old covenant is read, a veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the Truth, and this veil can only be removed by believing in Christ" 2 Corinthians 3: 7-13 Now, as I stare in ...

I am so nervous thinking of so much to do that day. In 12 short hours I will give my little girl away. I have so much to say to you before we walk the isle, So I will write this letter even though it's not my style. I thought it would be easier to write the words to you.

... are turned wide open. Past experience gone, Washed away and new, He has promised life, And he has promised it to you! A shadowed future, Of uncertain days. A terrible longing, That always stays. That urgent cry, That desperate call, When all else fails, Where do the pieces fall? They fall right into His hands, And again, He picks them up, When the urge to live is greater, Than the power to give up! He hears every time that you call, And your tears are not unseen, The future lies distant and grim, But He knows just what it means! A bright tomorrow, A small first step, All distant sorrow, And hurt erased. A fading storm cloud, Drying drops of rain, When the pain stops, You hear the refrain: Behind every storm there's a reason, Behind every drop, a thirsty flower. Behind every rainbow, A strong ...
... Cherish the Moments The sweet little bundle I carry in my arms, Smiles when he sees my face; Making my heart all warm. There s joy in an infant Learning to clap his hands, A baby's first steps, or Building castles out of sand. Life is an adventure, Learning to ride his trike. Growing even larger, He does tricks on his bike. Toys give way to rides; Making new friends in the world. Sports become his major. Then, friends give way to girls. Receiving high honors Becomes a campus man. As life gets even busier, He comes home when he can. Next, the celebration," I found that special girl" Marriage, then comes baby; A precious little pearl.

Lilacs, white and lavender, Sends forth a fragrance fair. Soft clouds kiss sunny skies, With beauty beyond compare! I hear the children's laughter, As I gaze upon green hills. I smell the fertile soil, As a farmer his land he tills. It's a perfect day to remember, As I think about our God. And all the wonders of His hand, This earth His people trod. What treasures await us, When we take the time to see. His priceless gifts of beauty, He sends to you and me. Cattle in lush, green, pastures, Where quiet waters flow. And the ever-blooming meadows, Here on this earth below. It makes me wonder about our future, When we ascend to heaven above. How can we take it ...

When they came upon the manger, Mary nodded" Yes" and smiled, Knowing that God had provided this small place to birth the Child. As the donkey watched in reverence, there, within the sparrow's sight; As a light shone 'round about them, the Christ Child was born that night.

May I make for one a difference As I tell your love again.

I stopped to say a short prayer, Thanked God for life's little blessings; Felt all His love run through my veins, Thanked Him for all of His lessons. I asked Him to give me more strength, As I start to walk a new trail; Said I'd give Him one hundred percent, Asked if He would help me not fail. The stars all seemed to get brighter, As if angels had heard my plea; Thank You Lord, for Your loving ways, I thank You for caring for me. I promised God I'd do my best, I promised to follow His lead; To help others along the trails, To be right there for ...

... Soldiers Christmas Poem It was the night before Christmas, he lived all alone, in a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone. I had come down the chimney with presents to give, and to see just who in this home did live. I looked all about, a strange sight I did see, no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree. No stockings by the mantle, just boots filled with sand, on the wall hung pictures of far distant lands. With medals and badges, awards of all kinds, a sobering thought came through my mind. For this house was different, it was dark and dreary, I found it home for a soldier, once I could see clearly. The soldier lay sleeping, silent, and alone, curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home. His face was so gentle, the room in such disorder, not how I pictured a United States soldier. ...

The sweet sound of birds in the air, Seem to be singing harmony; Leaves on the trees slowly dancing, To the tune of the mountain breeze. The loons on the lake sounding out, Create a tune that is unique; Family and friends that just stop by, Simply to sit and talk with me. Knowing that my children are safe, God sets aside need to worry; Healed, delivered and simply blessed, On this trail that leads to Glory. Knowing all prayers will be answered, Simply in His own way and time; He never holds anything back, God ...

... A Mother A Mother is a special person In the eyes of Jesus Christ, Who cherished His own mother To the very end of life. Mothers have hands so gentle, To soothe away the pains; Ears to hear all problems, And help set them right again A Mother s heart is open When a wayward child returns; Forgiveness shows a part of love For which her child now yearns. Mothers never do give up On any straying child But teach them courage as they grow, Remaining meek and mild. A hug is always ready, Waiting at the door When the grown child comes home To mother s arms once more.

... A Golden Chain Friendship is a Golden Chain, The links are friends so dear, And like a rare and precious jewel It's treasured more each year. It's clasped together firmly With a love that's deep and true, And it's rich with happy memories and fond recollections, too. Time can't destroy its beauty For, as long as memory lives, Years can't erase the pleasure That the joy of friendship gives. For friendship is a priceless gift That can't be bought or sold, But to have an understanding friend Is worth far more than gold. And the Golden Chain of Friendship Is a strong and blessed tie Binding kindred hearts together As the years go passing by.

... A Priceless Treasure Some woman may seek fortune and fame as along their way they go, but she chose to stay home in a quaint little house where children and gardens grow. She bound up bruises and kissed away hurts, as she cooked and ironed and swept. She made dollies and kites and sewed baseball gloves, while the rest of the family slept. Her coats and hats were quite out of style, but she was content with less; in order to give a brown-eyed little girl her wish for a new party dress. Don t waste any sympathy on her, for she already knows; there s a lot more to being a mother than wearing second-hand clothes. When it comes to baking cookies and pies, a master chef is she.

Once you've let one into your heart, There's no better friend to be found; I thank God for the dogs He sent, I sure love having them around. Man may be made in God's image, But the dog is His reflection; Without a shadow of a doubt, They are nearer to perfection. It's said, only the good die young, That's too fitting in a dog's case; Let a canine become your friend, Don't let all their love go to waste. I don't think it was a mistake, The mirror image of the spelling; G O D in reflection is D O G, Yet, it's a theory I'm telling. But, it makes so much sense to me, They're more loving than us, they are; I ...

... foundation. 1 Peter 5: 10 NLV There once was an oyster Whose story I tell, Who found that some sand Had got into his shell. It was only a grain, but it gave him great pain. For oysters have feelings Although they're so plain. Now, did he berate the harsh workings of fate That had brought him To such a deplorable state? Did he curse at the government, Cry for election, And claim that the sea should Have given him protection? 'No, ' he said to himself As he lay on a shell, Since I cannot remove it, I shall try to improve it. Now the years have rolled around, As the years always do, And he came to his ultimate Destiny stew. And the small grain of sand That had bothered him so Was a beautiful pearl All richly aglow. Now the tale has a moral, for isn't it grand What an oyster can do With a morsel ...

... Your Terrible Freedom A bold experiment began When God created earth and man; Giving man the power of choice To spurn His Word or head His voice. That day the angels held their breath As man chose sin and self and death. God could have saved this world its woe By building robots that would go In just the paths that He d designed, Obeying, but obeying blind. He could have saved His Son the shame By forcing man His will to claim. But God s bold test was for a cause-To prove, though man may break His laws And nail His Savior to a cross, That God will triumph over loss And bring Himself eternal fame By cleansing man from sin and shame. For only ransomed souls can sing; No praises flow from robot-things. And heaven s angels now rejoice To think that God gave man a choice! [by Betty Jo Mathis-from 'The Encourager '] Inspirational ...

More of the same fails to feed love s flame Till you wake up to find it's too late Human touch sustains the release of endorphins For both the giver and receiver. Never be afraid to hug your partner.

You healed my broken spirit, Having blessed me with Your grace, Refreshing my soul once again, With the warmth of Your gentle embrace. And should the hurdles return one day, Seeming much to high to leap, I'll remember this glorious moment, That You've given me to keep.

Her skin was soft and lovely and... her hair was full and fine, He smiled when thinking of the fact... this lady is all mine. How could a man deserve such love... as she did freely give, Her love had made him realize... just what it meant to live.

... A Beacon of Hope When out on a ship in the stormy sea, filled with fear and anxiety, seeking a refuge in the night, a strong and steady guiding light to reassure and relieve the fright, a lighthouse offers security. As the lighthouse stands on a distant shore, giving hope where there was none before, providing a light that is steady and true, helping the ship come safely through, a strong fortress to navigate to, it's a beacon of hope as the waves crash and roar. When overcome by life's stormy sea, frightened and filled with uncertainty, God is a refuge in the night, a sure, dependable guiding light, providing a love that is always bright, a beacon of hope for you and me.~Connie Arnold~[ by: Connie Arnold Copyright 2009 (beautifulmomentsofjoyandpeace @yahoo.com)-from: Connie Arnold] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...

It was just a fleeting moment but it hung there just the same, She looked so very tiny hanging on this grown man's frame. No sermon could have said it, no song could capture this. I learned about my Father's love in a little child's kiss. God wants me to come running. He wants to pull me in. The love He gives outweighs the thoughts of work, time, and sin. I so adore my Father. We're not meant to be apart. He shines His light all over my transparent needy heart. No matter that I'm feeble. No matter what they say. I feel the warmth of all His love when I bow my head to pray.

Jesus Christ is fully God, and also has full power. But He agreed to give all that up, and so they set the day and hour. God foretold of this coming through the Bible, His word. But when Jesus arrived here, that message wasn't heard. Only a handful believed that Jesus was who he claimed to be. And the multitude that did not sacrificed him on that tree. A man of greater love has never walked this earth. He healed people of their diseases, cured a man blind from birth. He performed many miracles ...

In The Country Lord give me happiness in the country Where the birds sing softly and sweet And neighbors are always friendly At gatherings where they meet Everythings lively bright with day-song In the summer's golden sun Children play all day long And they seem to have such fun They climb upon tall hay stacks And chew on stems of straw Then slide down the mossy track On our back looking at grandpa The beautiful juicy ripe fruit Is picked with pure delight Grapes and apples are a many super-fruit What a wonderful glorious sight God made the country fair And filled it with his grace My heart will always be there In that splendid glorious place.~Meshelle Brown~Copyright 2010 All Rights Reserved [By: Meshelle Brown, Copyright 2010 (mishabrown @localnet.com)-submitted by: Meshelle Brown] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... In The Shadow Of Our Lord Oh, I would love to have been living when our Lord was here on earth. Just to have walked behind Him would have given my soul rebirth. I try to walk in His Shadow, of each day that I'm alive. But, somehow I do stumble over sins that I contrive. Oh, why, is it so hard to live in this old world here below? We ask our Lord's Forgiveness. But, it's on the road to hell we go. God Said," Listen to My beloved Child. He'll never let you stray from the path that leads to heaven. And, your soul will not decay" Thank You, Lord, for the Power of prayer. You ponder each word we think or say. I can feel Your hand upon my shoulder, as I walk in Your consoling shadow each day.

... He goes to work each day. His job is just a factory job, His pay just makes ends meet. But a few good friends and family, Make his life complete. He's not well versed in poetry, Theater or the arts. And wisdom is not something, That he constantly imparts. He loves the simple things in life, For riches doesn't thirst. He knows what is important, And his family is put first. The wealth that God has given him, To treasure in his life, A loving son and daughter, And a very special wife. He never has much money, And his life is not a show, But he is still the richest man, That I will ever know. To others he's a simple man, And fame he's never had, But he's the greatest man I know, He also is my dad. [by James A. Kisner 1999 (PoppyK1 @aol.com)-{ used ...

484. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Index Cards. [Poems]
... Index Cards At nighttime as a child, when Mom would tuck me in, she'd have me say some Scripture that she'd written out in pen. Found on an index card, for me to memorize, she would give me this gift so I would grow up wise. I remember being in my blankets, head resting on my pillow, saying sleepily the verses that I had come to know. Then there was a goodnight kiss, soft and sweet on my forehead, and the sound of her slippers tiptoeing off to her bed. Now many years later, with the Word still in my heart, I am indebted to those index cards before my sleep would start. Written in love on a 3 x 5 with a prayer and a pen, blessing me in my pajamas as each day came to an end.

Not once had I stopped to say hello Or give him the time of day The man who lived next door to me Whom I saw from day to day. I knew nothing of his family Vaguely aware he had a spouse He was only just a neighbor Who lived in the big white house. Perhaps, someday in the future I'd take the time to greet The man who shared the block with me In the house across the street. A couple of years had come and gone I kept thinking that I might Go over and say hello to him But the time was never right.

... Regardless of the fear, Regardless of the pain we bear, Regardless of the tear. Our God is ever in control, Performing as He should, And He has promised in His Word To work things for our good.

Yet gently gathers the tears Within His hands to stay Until He turns them into pearls, and gives them back someday.

... time of my life when my days on this earth are numbered. I go back into my memories where I am never encumbered. Such beautiful reminders of the wonderful life I ve lead. A terrific place to visit and enjoy rather than the present life instead. I can stay as long as I want to, no hurry to leave this place. I can remember my childhood so well for it was my true base. The loving parents I had were treasures given to me for awhile. Remembering their loving ways always leaves me with a smile. My favorite time was waking up to the smell of homemade bread. So it was very easy for me to quickly get out of my bed. I can still taste the sticky buns all gooey and warm inside. Oh, I had a astonishing childhood filled joy and pride. The loving gift of memory is one of my favorites that God gave me. Letting me relive my amazing past ...

He'll help you be brave. Remember, my son, He is with you alway. He will give your soul freedom. With My Dove, fly away.

How blessed are those who have known the love of a good dog. Few things in this life bring such pleasure or acceptance. A good dog will love you even you when you are unlovable and will remain by your side when you have nothing to give but a pat on the head. When he looks at you, he sees goodness and he knows that you will always love him and take care of him. He has faith.

Just how it is they go about, Getting Jesus too. Then I get to tell them, This wondrous gift is free. It only takes a humble heart, A prayer on bended knee. Someday when I'm face to face, With the Lord who made me free. Will He see His own reflection, Or ...

... the fresh new snow while strolling in the park, Seeing shadows start to form as it is getting dark. So quietly and peacefully new snowflakes hit the ground, And form a pure white layer and they never make a sound. The soft flakes feel like drops of ice when drifting on my face, And everything feels fresh and clean as I walk through this place. The trees are covered with a coat of freshly fallen snow, Then some have icy branches that give off a crystal glow. The only sound that I can hear is little wisps of wind, But only for a moment then the air is still again. My heart is overflowing with a feeling from within, A gentle, soothing, calming feeling comes to me again. I stop to meditate and feel the breeze upon my face, I need this time alone to touch my feelings and embrace, The constant nagging question in my mind that causes doubt, Once again I ...

All those dreams of pleasant leisure as you reach your senior years: All those plans of fun together, just bring on a flood of tears.

There s a new life to be found" It is then, when all is darkness, and life s at its very worst, You can feel his words of comfort, like a rain cloud that has burst, Start to heal your heart that s broken. As with tears your soul s awash, There s a stillness ...

My Lord will see me through. My little valleys are nothing When I picture Christ on the cross. He went through the valley of death; His victory was Satan's loss. Forgive me Lord, for complaining When I'm feeling so very low. Just give me a gentle reminder That it's in the valleys I grow.

... It Will Not Be Forced It seemed like Christmas came too fast for me again this year, I was not even ready for it and it's almost here. I never got around to baking as I usually do, And there are decorations that I never will get to. I still had shopping to be done I was so far behind, Trying to get in the spirit made me lose my mind. I never was behind like that on any given year, And that I would run out of time was then my biggest fear. I used to stroll throughout the mall with choices I was making, And listen to the Christmas music while enjoying baking. But even when I did go shopping all day I just ran, And never did I think I would have time to touch a pan. I know I'm not the only one who feels the way I do, I've talked with others who confessed they feel the same way too. ...

Though they seem too small and tiny To carry on God's way, They'll grow into a strong child, soon; With each passing day. Then, someday, they will tell the world Of all God's wondrous things; Of Jesus and His glory, And all the love He brings. They'll help us lift our hearts to God And give our lives to him, And show us love, to fill our hearts That once were filled with sin. And, when they die, they'll join God In the heavens, high above. Then, someone else, maybe their child, Will take their place to teach about God's love.~Dot McGinnis~[ by: Dot McGinnis Copyright 2005-submitted by: Dot McGinnis] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...

When they would call it would be short and few words would be spoken, He wondered if on Father's Day their calls were just a token.

They get so caught up in their lives, so busy all the time, And don't give him a second thought because they know he's fine. He sees them maybe twice a year around the holidays, It's hard to get together as they've all gone separate ways. At least they do remember him if just a little call, And remember that he's here just watching his baseball. So as he sits and waits for them, the game is growing long. It is the seventh inning and no calls; there's something wrong. Deep in thought of what had happened ...

Sometimes we rely on worldly things To help us reach our goals. We build our hopes upon the sand, And the storms beat on our souls. But if we put our trust in God We're building on His rock, And all the storms of life can t harm Anyone who s in His flock.

I want to know that come what may I've left some cheer and gladness; I want to feel at close of day I've banished someone's sadness. I want to feel at close of day That someone's cares were lighter Because of kindness I have done, May someone's life be brighter.

My soul will arise-when my eyes close in death! He is my Victory, bought on Calvary's tree. He gave His life so I could be free. I gave Him my life and He lives in my heart. All I could give Him, but it was a start! But, Oh, what a purchase I made for my soul! To live in God's presence. This is my goal. Thanking my Jesus, forever and ever! There's plenty of time, for separation is never! So I know part of what the future holds. For my Bible tells me of God's plan for souls. How, after death, and because of God's love. I WILL ARISE-and go to Jesus ...

She should have spent the entire day devoted to her Mother, And laughed and reminisced the past and shared with one another. But she had done her duty as so many others do, Stopped to give a token gift before the day was through. Rushing through her busy day and running out of hours, Never taking time as said" to stop and smell the flowers" Now she smells the flowers that she placed upon the ground, But now she smells them all alone and does not hear a sound. She whispers softly to her Mother hoping that she hears, And says I love you mommy as she wipes away more tears. I love you for the years you ...

... My Thorn Jesus is my Lord and Savior. He gave His life for me. He saved me from eternal doom. Without Him, where would I be? I would be forever lost and would never look on His face. For I wouldn t make it to heaven, rather damnation, I would taste. I am thankful for God s mercy, and His loving abundant grace. His ever constant love for me gives me strength for all I face. But I have a thorn within me which pricks me with daily doubts. I ve asked God to remove it, but He s yet to take it out. I know not why He leaves it here within my heart and soul, but I trust He knows what s best for me, and one day I will be told. I know it s here for a purpose, since He hasn t answered my prayers.

Nailed to the cross was Jesus, Who did it all in love, So we may live with Him someday In paradise above. Nailed to the cross was Jesus, For us, His life He lost. So we may clearly see, That for us there is no cost. Nailed to the cross was Jesus, Resurrected three days later, To show the world His power And that His love is much greater. Nailed to the cross was Jesus, Who helped us see the light, So now we understand That His way is the right. Nailed to the cross was Jesus, Who hung there, in great pain But He told us it was worth it And it wasn't done in vain. Nailed to the cross was Jesus, Whose scars tell us ...

... looked after itself and good things always went to the strong; If nobody cared just a little about you and nobody cared at all about me, and we stood alone, in the battle of life, What a dreary old world this would be. Life is sweet, because of friends we've made and the things which in common we share. We want to live on, not because of ourselves, but because of the people who care. It is doing and giving for somebody else on which all of life's splendor depends. The joy of this world, when you sum it up, is found in the making of friends.

... No Christmas This Year! Santa was very disappointed in the letters he received until one little boy of four touched his heart. Santa had no desire to get out of his soft comfy bed. He had no interest in Christmas or the letters that he read. They all seemed so selfish and colder than any time before. He was hoping that generosity would take over and really soar. But as he read his daily mail, not one was genuinely giving. It was I want, I desire, I need, I require, nothing about living. Until he opened one he had never seen before.

680. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- Keep Trying [Poems]
... Keep Trying Two frogs fell into a deep cream bowl. One was an optimistic soul, But the other took the gloomy view." We shall drown ," he sobbed with much ado! And with a last despairing cry, He flung up his legs and said," Good-bye !" Said the other frog with merry grin," I can't get out, but I won't give in. I'll just swim around till my strength is spent, Then will I die the more content !" Bravely he swam till it would seem His struggles began to churn the cream! On top of the butter at last he stopped, And out of the bowl he happily hopped! So what is the moral? 'Tis easily found; If you can't hop out, keep swimming around!

One became your guiding star The other became your sun. The first one gave you life And the second taught you to live it. The first gave you a need for love The second was there to give it. One gave you a nationality The other gave you a name. One gave you a talent The other gave you aim. One gave you emotions The other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile The other dried your tears. One sought for you a home That she could not provide. The other prayed for a child And her hope was not denied.

Yes, I'm having the time of my life, Some friends cannot yet understand; God's Plan is for me to always obey, It's a Joy to walk and hold His hand.~Leona I. Miller~All Rights Reserved [by: Leona I.

... the ground Just lift your voice to Him in praise And He your fallen spirit will raise For He is master of all And will hear your faintest call For you see, He's been through The same life as me and you He knows the path better than you and I He knows where each heartache doth lie Not only heartaches, but battles too For He walked the path for me and you So when life's battles confront you Just ask Jesus what to do He will give you the answer Through some one you see I KNOW! He did it for me Go to Him in prayer Let Him know your every care He then will make the way To get you through another day [By Dawn Darling Porche '-from Andy Chap] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... Life Is A Miracle Life is a miracle Don't let it slip away, Open your heart to others Give of yourself each day. See the beauty in everyone Regardless of where they've been, Some have a difficult journey And really need a friend. Share your gifts and talents Listen with your heart. Do the things you dream about But don't have time to start. Pick a bouquet of flowers Show someone that you care, Be gracious and forgiving Life is never fair. Hold on to your courage You may need it down the road, We all have a cross to bear It could be a heavy load. If you practice all these things No matter where you roam, You may find both sun and rain But you'll never feel alone!

... in the sky. I know many hearts are broken, I know the pain that you bear, My heart is also broken, By the evil everywhere. Please help me fight this battle, To keep our children safe, Through prayers, love, and sharing, As we keep holding on to the Faith. That Peace will surely reign one day, In schools throughout the lands, For all our future hopes and dreams, Rest in our students hands. I'll give you peace to fill your heart, Send the sun to break the night, Provide the strength to move beyond, The wrongs and do what's right. You ask how I can know your pain, From the loss of your dear one, It's because it seems like yesterday, When I too gave up my only Son.

... a warning of the coming winter cold. As the wind is changing from the milder summer breeze, You can feel the difference as it echoes through the trees. As I shuffle down the path leading through the park, As the days grow shorter now and soon it will be dark. I realize that life is like the seasons we live through, Life is like the changing seasons always changing too. Basking in the warmth of life in the summer sun, Never giving thought to when these summer days are done. But before we realize the cold wind starts to blow, And our basking summer sun turns colder with the snow. Only then we realize that life has changed so fast, Only then we realize that nothing ever lasts. Life goes through the seasons as the years accumulate, Many times we long for summer when it is too late. Life is meant for living and enjoying each new day, Life is meant for loving those ...
... Living Through His Love Lord, sometimes life is hard, And we wonder how long. But that is self pity. And for us that is wrong. A child of God holds on, No matter what the cost. We just don't give up. That choice is for the lost! You see sometimes our joy, Just simply can not be found. And so we pray to our Lord. We can always find Him around! Then we ask for His joy On us to bestow. And before we can think, We feel our heart overflow! Of course our troubles recede, The moment He came. We live through His love, Oh, praise His dear name!-Dot Wilson-[ by Dot Wilson Copyright 2004, (dorothywilson007 @bellsouth.net)-submitted by: Dot Wilson] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... while I was still in bed. There's a hint of spice and cinnamon brought by the morning breeze, And there's a touch of red and gold appearing in the trees. Days are growing shorter now and nights can bring a chill. The squirrels are hiding acorns in the woods beside the mill. Mom's making apple cider and filling mason jars. September nights have been so clear you can see a million stars! It's harvest time upon the earth, a time for giving thanks, For these, the living treasures, we never find in banks. God showers us with blessings sometimes great, sometimes small. And for these, the living treasures, we praise Him for them all!

... Little Things It was the middle of the night. and she stirred from her sleep, She quietly got out of bed. and did not make a peep. She sits in total darkness now. and thinks about her man, The little things he does for her. to lend a helping hand. He helps her all around the house. and never makes a mess, He says it gives her extra time. and her work will be less. She loves him for his thoughtfulness. he does it on his own, He said he wants to make sure that. she never has to moan. He says it's really easy. and he says he'll never fail, And promised her that he would never. ever leave a trail.

... from your master That's why your little heart beats faster You gladly follow your master's way, eager to please him every day Little black dog, I wish that we could look at life the way you see We'd smile, just knowing God is near His tender voice, we'd strain to hear The simple things would bring us joy-like the laugh of a little girl or boy The thought of seeing Him face-to-face would cause our eager hearts to race And we would always give Him praise for every gift, thru all our days With every ounce of strength, we'd go to follow Him, Who loves us so And when He called us to come home we'd dance for joy around His throne Little black dog, it's plain to see God sent you to teach these things to me~Connie Faust~[ by: Connie Faust, Copyright 2007 (beracah1 @evenlink.com)-submitted by: Connie Faust] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
... stars in a velvet night. A stained-glass sunrise, In the hush of early dawn, Majestic mountain ramparts, A mother deer and baby fawn. A rainbow arched in splendid hue, On a stormy, summer day, Until the sun comes streaming through, And warm breezes blow the clouds away. So many little ordinary things, That we miss unless we are aware, That we are loved and gifted, In God's unceasing care.~Eva May Young~It gives me a warm feeling in my heart to write poetry. I am a" Golden Ager" shut-in and writing keeps my mind busy with something I've done ever since I was a child, and it's my way of sharing our LORD with who ever comes to visit.

730. Inspirational and Christian POEMS -- No Time. [Poems]
... Must hurry off and get to work For bills would soon be due. And as I said a hurried prayer Jumped up from off my knee. My Christian duty now was done My soul could be at ease. All through the day I had no time To speak a word of Cheer. No time to speak of Christ to friend They'd laugh at me I feared. No time-No time too much to do That was my constant cry. No time to give to those in need At last it was time to die. And when before the Lord I came I stood with down cast eyes. Within His hand He held a book It was the BOOK OF LIFE. He looked in the book and said" Your name I can not find. I once was going to write it down But never found the time" [Author Unknown-from chaplin777 @hotmail.com] Inspirational Poems SkyWriting.Net All Rights Reserved. ...
