MEDITATION BY STEVE HAARMAN
SEPTEMBER 27, 2019

We are blessed with memories
Many are worthy to dwell on,
While others we may question
On the idea of them being a blessing
We should turn the unhappy memories
Into a forgive and release proposition
Jesus died for our sins.  We have a free will
And make our choices.  Everything, although
Well intended does not always go our way
People make mistakes and we, in a sense,
Must die a little on our cross and forgive
If we are hurt, what do we do?  One 
Answer is to add up our losses, then
Double down with a gift to the poor.
Then we feel blessed again.  How much
Happiness do we deserve?  I say, be happy,
But remember those with nothing, who
Are starving, dying from malnutrition and
Internally from the lack of love.  We can
Fill ourselves up by loving those who have hurt us  
As we work diligently to improve condition.  
This is not easy and the results are not measurable, 
But the fact that we continue in spite of success
Or failure is what is important.  We must celebrate 
And be in gratitude for having a loving God,
Who allows us to think and act.  Amen 

        
I will play your part again
My direction is opposite of yours
Compassion has a meaning to me
All of my expressions are not political
I hear the shout out at the stadiums
Their true feelings drown out everything
And are not sympathetic to the occupant
More or less a major put down
Ignored by the deceitful media
Just a lot of meaningless words go by
Like we are waiting for Halloween
To find relief from all the pressure
That our inadequacies have presented
I never knew the art of compromise 
When something is wrong it is wrong
The deflating of America by the Occupant's pen stroke
Is baffling beyond words and sorry is not a word
Just watch how much more we can destroy of
This amazing country that so many have died for
Where are we going where we need not apologize?
Socialism cannot be that bad, can it?
Look at the southern border
Why are so many there, if socialism is the answer
Why are they coming to the land of the free?
Your part says it’s not that big of a deal
As long as you are in charge.  I can tell
You why you may be wrong.  You eventually run out of
Other’s money and then everyone is equal
Equal in misery and subject to dictators
No one wants this, even those who proclaim for Biden
He has obligations to China; he betrayed those in Afghanistan
He has betrayed the American people
All we see of him is his back; he lacks the conviction of his operatives
His face is blank because he has no ice-cream
His direction is questionable because he has no idea
I have to ask again, and again and again
Where are we going?  Does anyone know?
