THIRTY TWO


THIRTY TWO, that was the age
When I was two years wed,

But also, when I could have been

For rest of life, ‘brain dead’


You see, an offer had been made,

By my neurologist,

T’attempt to rid me of the plight 

That from birth, did exist.


The episodes, though short they were,

Whene’er malfunction rose,

The brain would freeze, do something strange,

Remember some of those.


While other times, I needed told

" You had another ‘fit’ "

Informed me then, what I had done,

I chuckled some, admit.


Some long, or short, some laughable,

‘tLeast one, quite scary, too,

No one e’er knew when they’d attack,

They didn’t come, on cue.


I never fell down on the floor

A-writhing  in a heap,

The brain was locked in certain mode,

Exhausted, I could sleep.


However, thankful, I now am,

They’re gone, THIRTY TWO years,

I’m surely blessed, when I reflect,

Shed many ‘greatful’ tears

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

Addenda to 'Who is this man'

Who is this Man Addenda (in blue) to an anthem by Mary Kay Beall entitled Who is this Man? sung in my home church choir a few years ago. Who is this man upon a cross By love's decree, brought low? They say He came to save the world Because God loved us so The King of Kings And Lord of Lords Eternally He'll reign Can it be true He died for me And yes, would die again Who is this man upon the cross? He is a friend to me And though I oft Him disappoint His love has set me free The King of Kings And Lord of Lords He took my sin and pain And yes it's true He died for me, But will return again

A Father's Blessing

                  As youngest son, I always sensed                   From many of the brothers,                   True or not, they’d put me down,                   I wasn’t like the others.                                    A few days prior to passing on,                  A blessing I was giv’n                        From my beloved, aged dad,                  Before he moved to Heav’n.                                    His health was failing faster now  ...
