Today


Yesterday, I saw things.
Tomorrow, I'll see things.
Today, I'm in things.

Standing, sitting, running, walking.
Where am I going?
Where will I stay?
Coming, going.

Laughing, crying, yelling, silence.
My mind boggled, confused, or just right.

Seeing, hearing, feeling.
Yesterday, tomorrow, today.

Hoping, praying, seeking, finding.
Knowledge, wisdom, and more.

Up, down, around and around.
Never ending circle,
wanting to be a line.

Yesterday, I saw things.
Tomorrow, I'll see things.
Today, I'm in things.

But Today I'm different.
Not the same.
As before.

Changed....my heart.
The LORD came in.
I dicovered his Love.
Accepted it, held on, Responed.

Nothing, nothing, nothing.
Nothing else, was better news.
And will forever be.

Life? Death?
Good? Evil?
God? Satan?

Meaning, purpose, truth, love.

I turned around, my back to Satan.
Now facing God.
And now today I'm different.

And I'll never be the same.

Ways of the world


It started with a big bam,
and will end with a big boom.
Said by many.

No reason or purpose,
why we wake in the morning,
or work through the day.

We live for retirement,
or acheiving our goals,
to just die, when we get old.

Lets pretend to understand,
why were are here.
Petend to be happy,
when were are searching for truth.

Lets just keep living in this messed up world,
that's not getting better,
when we all wish it would.

What's the point,
to your life today?
To live then die,
for no reason at all.

I know there is more,
more to this life,
life after death,
with the almighty one.

To have hope in this promise,
is not at all pointless.
Afterall, what else is there,
in this world of hate?
