What Happened To Yesterday

What Happened To Yesterday?

What ever happened to yesterday;
it’s been gone for quite a while;
perhaps it’ll come back someday;
or has it become out of style?

Will it become reinvented, tomorrow;
or is tomorrow more of the same;
so many yesterdays, brought sorrow;
and yesterday got

At First Sight

At First Sight

Much has been said about first impressions;
and judgments they cause us to make;
a lot of the time, they result in confessions;
admitting we’d made a big mistake.

When we see someone for the very first time;
most of us are very quick to judge;

Man Versus God

Man Versus God

Life wasn’t created to be a competition;
when its seed was planted above;

creating lives out of love.

The serpent’s rebellion created competition;

If I’d Choose To Love

If I’d choose to love; each day that I live;

If my thoughts were only permitted to love;
and evil remained beyond my
