A FOGGY DAY

It snows today

Winds are cold

Gray is the color

Just the mood is blue

What have I done?

I keep asking

I’m a paranoid android

Marching in circles

Mush in my head

Gloom in my eyes

I search for my star

Look to the skies

When it rains it pours

Old words, new meanings

The nearness of you

A thing of the past

I hear the exit music

Yes, I cannot dance

My wait is patient

How long can I last?

The truth, the truth

Sometimes a new word

Then, I’m the light

That’s what I do

Preach forgiveness

Then release

I believed, now

I say, please!

Don’t think twice

It’s not alright

I’m in a London fog

Think I have hope

Nothing for granted

In this waiting game

Death by slow torture

Brings one no fame

Life will unfold

No one laughs last

Regret breaks the soul, and

There is no cast

Just a few weeks ago the end of 2021 was near

and a new beginning was upon us. 

We have much to do and many have

priorities mixed up in my opinion. 

Jesus said “Love God above all things

and your neighbor as yourself.” 

Spending money on ourselves as

a church group, updating the mass

and songbooks when the old were

still viable is self-serving.  The money

used could have fed the hungry and

provided water for the thirsty. 

We chose or were mandated

to choose the books. 

We did not empty ourselves

regardless of the reason.

If we are not empty it is difficult

to be filled up with God’s grace. 

How important is eternal life? 

To most it is everything. 

Even the thought of it is so beautiful

that it is hard to believe. 

This makes us doubting Thomases. 

The all-knowing Father has plans for

us regardless and we must be

open to them as we make our path

to eternal glory.  We can do with less

while allowing others to have more. 

This is what the Father wants.
