Microwave blows out
Houston, where’s our hot pockets?
Hungry astronauts
Impassable roads
Remember the ice outside—
Putting on ice skates
Nursing home “Rec Night”
Dancing through the starry night—
Golden oldies night
No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself.
Anyone who falls in love is searching for the missing pieces of themselves.
This poem is dedicated to the many lives which have come and gone along the tracks of the Great Northern Railroad from years ago. Perhaps you can feel the living spirit still riding the Empire Builder passenger train across the Hi-Line of Montana.
Feeling a bit like heaven
Blessed Big Sky, almost home
Paradise spelled as two words
Riding free, spirit’s train roams
Scanning God’s creative touch
Mountains shaped by nature’s hand
Valleys carved out by rivers
Dreaming of this treasured land
Stirring up past memories
Iron horse roaring at top speed
Long ago, been here before
Coming home, spirits now freed
Flashing by Hi-Line’s vast farms
Cropland caresses these tracks
Golden fields of wheat ripen
Waiting for harvest’s comeback
Fading daylight turns to night
Darkness covers Montana’s peace
Town lights twinkle here and there
Thinking back to life’s past lease
Climbing through Marias Pass
Glacier Park saying good-bye
Big Sky’s wonder never fades
Ageless spirit, dropping by
TV land update
“Big Brother” resumes taping—
Renamed “Quarantined”
Monday morning class
Readin’, Ritin’, Rithmetic—
At home, nothing new!
Traveling back home
Nothing beats Mom’s home cooking—
Filled with warmest love
This faith-based poem was written in October, 2019, and it was inspired from reading James 1:22-24: “But be doers of the Word, and not merely hearers who deceive of themselves. For if any are hearers of the Word and not doers, they are like those who look at themselves in a mirror; for they look at themselves and, on going away, immediately forget what they were like.”
Actions speak loudest for ourselves
Walking in a Christ-like manner
Be a doer of God’s Word
God builds with a benevolent hammer
God calls upon each of us
Acting in faithfulness each day
Be a doer of God’s way
He always knows what to say
Being responsible with life’s rewards
Witnessing God’s work on this earth
Be a doer of God’s Word
Docking our ship at God’s berth
Our blessed Lord sends His harvest
Leaving us with a bountiful taste
Be a doer of God’s Word
Listening with intent, never in haste
Reading the Holy Ten Commandments
God declares all that is good
Be a doer of God’s Word
Now following all that we should
All growth that is not toward God is growing toward decay.
From 2 Timothy 2:22: “Shun youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart.”
In life, every ending is just the start of another story.
You put together two things that have not been put together before. And the world is changed.
Timeout
Really listen
Taking the time
Appreciating each spoken word
Sincerity
Daily
Living as
Best person possible
Pay it forward with
Kindness
Compassion
Speaking softly
Helping others more
Expecting nothing in return
Understanding
Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity.
Passion is energy. Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.
Country roads, take me home, to a place I belong.
What one man can do is dream. What one man can do is love. What one man can do is change the world.
