Is Your Mind Made UP?

Is Your Mind Made Up?

 

Healthy wealthy are everywhere

Thriving as none before

Yet few show love or tend to care

Beyond their own front door

 

No thought of Him who gave us life

Who causes faith and trust

Who cures all ills, ends all strife

And crushes foes to dust

 

Because in life all nature’s free

Most doubt, shaking one’s head

So few give thanks or bend their knee

Where love is daily bread

 

Neighbours, we see as pests or foe

Our God we treat the same

But still His blessings flow and flow

To glorify His name

 

Yet wayward eyes fail truth to see

Still hearts are cold as stone

Resources that could easily be

Remain the world unknown

 

There’s no true love in selfish hearts

Warmth in a selfish soul

Will mercy reign when life departs?

Before our unseen goal

 

What value is a single breath?

Or prayer to save from ruin

Just ask the sick, those near to death

Singing a different tune

 

Then ask yourself what’s real and true?

What life on earth is for?

Think of God, examine your view

Is still your judgement sure?.....

About the Poet
I never wrote a word of poetry in my life. Till the day Jesus took my hand and touched my soul.....I invite your response. However most poems are not about me! Very few are. But the feed-back good, bad or indifferent is always desired. Not meant to offend, but I write about many things in many a guise. Of life, death, lost, found, saved, backsliders, new comers, repenting souls, doubting hearts, heathens, Christians, fire, water, Satan's daughter, wallowing in sin, saved, made sound walking in Light, graceful righteous. Suffering, ecstatic, bored, excited, sad, delighted, Sick, well, lame, able, living, dying, etc. etc. etc. Writing about anything, everything and everyone as the spirit leads. All meant to reveal, waken, revive, encourage, shame, help. Gladden, pick up, exalt, portrait, liberate. Again over 99% of my work is not about me. Although at times I write as though I were or am. Speaking e.g. in the first person. This is quite common even in the bible itself. Prophets speak of themselves, then God speaks, again the prophet, then God......Quite often it's difficult to distinguish whom it is that at any given time is speaking or narrating.
