My Passing Need

• In idleness I heard a voice
• that softly whispered happy thoughts.
• And weakness showed it's dreadful head
• as I pondered how to make a way.
• I know that voice. It spoke before,
• and drew me to a darkened place
• where temporary glee won out,
• and I vowed to never go again.
•  
• So, in my altered state I called
• to the One I knew would overcome.
• I called His name, and then I knew,
• it's only time, and I'll be safe.
• A flutter caught my eye to see
• a lovely wisp of color fly
• across my line of vision to
• arrest my thoughts and make me smile.

        

• The wondrous beauty made me gasp.
• It cleared my mind of all around.
• The butterfly was gone at last,
• and I realized it's purpose now.
• My evil thoughts were gone,
• and now I thought of only greater things.
• My Protector had erased the slate,
• and my last word had done it all....Jesus!

THREE LITTLE FISHIES

There once was a fish in a pond

Who, quite boldly and eloquently yawned,

I'd accept being blue,

Or a gold fish would do,

But don't ever ask me to be blond.

 

As the tuna was caught in the net,

She got nervous, and started to fret.

To be cast as a salad

Makes my flesh look so pallid.

It's the cross I bear, being brunette.

 

Then, alas, we espied a bullhead,

Who lay on the bank, playing dead.

I will be what you wish.

But, remember, this fish

Opts to be just a sexy redhead.
