The Internet

A wonderful world of wisdom
Connected by a wire
But too much information
Is sure to make you tire.

Worship like Jacob did

Worship like Jacob did
When the day is young
Worship like Jacob did
Sing the song he sung

Thankful of the Lord
And all the Lord did bring
If you listen now
You can still hear Jacob sing

Worship like Jacob did
In the middle of the day
Worship like Jacob did
You can still hear Jacob say

Thank you my dear Lord
For everything you’ve done
Thank you for my life
And your bright and shinning sun

Worship like Jacob did
When the day turned late
Worship like Jacob did
For he knew that God was great

With his dieing breath
He worshiped from his staff
The joy in his heart
Was cause to sing and laugh

Worship like Jacob did
Learn his special way
With thankfulness of heart
In every single day

The Adversary

The scary adversary
Was nothing more than his red canary
The bird it seem had become quite contrary

Despite all this
He just couldn’t miss
With a trap bated with a nice red cherry

He watched and he waited
By the trap he had created
But the canary never did show

For the canary had found
Seeds by the pound
Because canaries don’t eat cherries, you know.

The Bus Stop

People standing
Waiting anxiously
Huddling out of the rain.
A chanced meeting
Between old friends
Brings unexpected smiles.

A pigeon wonders by
Pecking crumbs from the ground.
A sanitation worker
Sweeps the walk of debris.
How similar they seem,
And the jobs they do….
Both work for little more than food.

On the bus
The world passes by
Taking us each
To our own private destination.

Another stop
Another chance
Another world away.

Re-Schooling

Sitting and reading
Studying again
Just when you’ve finished
It’s time to begin

And so it goes on
Time after time
Building on old things
Till you’re well past your prime

And when you’re sitting
At home old and grey
An old dog learns new tricks
And begins a new day
