Summers Sixth

None are so worthy of such a great testimony
All bear the same
Thou a different examples and measures of grace
The same truth remains
CHRIST Saved Me

Summers Fifth

Yesterdays Trials
I wanna be, filled up until I'm overflowing
But as a kid I almost drowned a few times
When God pours, sometimes I spill on purpose

I want to be strengthened
But I seen a tension cord snap once
So when God stretches me I ease up a bit

I want to be taught
But people who think  they're smart are often stupid
So at times I choose to get distracted

I wanna persevere no quitting
But once I seen a person pass out
So I take breaks to balance me out

I want, but don't get
And I know so I'm saddened
Remembered the book of James
The LORD said, "Stop , just let it happen"

Summers fourth poem

What a day I say

Look at what i gave up

The real deal shows true colors; no rainbow

Pulled my hat down, don't look me in the eyes

I want to cry but it's not worth tears

I quit smoking cuz it's not worth years

I quit sexxin cuz I learned hard lessons that it's not worth attachments

Stopped holding grudges cuz I want to have peace

hate telling lies, I just want to be me

Chose faith I needed to be saved

Follow Christ because I need to know the way

Either all the prayers are not heard or I'm just doing wrong

Selling books is so hard it's got me writing new songs

And poems

Summers Theme

A common theme over the last five summers; all must run its course. Do you have times like these?

These Summers

These summers make me stop

and acknowledge the One who is

In recognition of honor

and the works of God

How fallen and lowly I am

Save me God

Deliver me from this place of desolation

Do not let me be ashamed

My hand is slack and I am weak

But You, Oh LORD, are my strength

My Song

"Breathe into me Oh LORD,

the Breath of Life"

Let me behold You

Your faithful love and promises

Prosper me

I am bare before you

Clothe me with Your righteousness

The heat of the sun is burdensome

I long for the shadow of You wings

This summer I am a salesman

Give me wisdom

Riches will fade

Give me discipline

Or I will be a failure

You make no failures

And I am Yours

I will stop

And acknowledge the One who is

In recognition of honor and the works of God

I will praise You!

summers third poem

Happily...Ever...After
Are words that are dreamed of
but, Happy Ever? were the words describing her consciousness

Happy Birthdays were more like...
What happened to birthdays?

Wishes turned to Whys
Tears soon dried

Sunshine frightens her
So she never opens the door

(When will she let the light in?)

summers second poem

Is there a better way
Is there a more sufficient path
"Endurance", you say

When I'm cold
Must I be forced to sickness
Is there a better way
