Month: August 2017

Whirligigs and sunburned faces
Lapped it up, and spilled the traces,
Broke-in shoes, and muddied laces
All combined to run the races.

Ferris wheel is going ‘round.
Tilt-a-Whirl and helicopter.
Children grinning at the sounds of
Cheering, clapping, smiles and laughter.

Horses, cows, and lambs, and chicks,
Piggies, roosters, kitties, rabbits.
Oh, foul cages! Hose the stink!
Then display the winning ribbons.

Budding cooks show off their muffins,
Collectors show their best antique.
Knitters, artists, crafters, gardeners
Culminate their joys this week

Whirligigs and sunburned faces
Lapped it up, and spilled the traces,
Broke-in shoes, and muddied laces
All combined to win those races.

Don’t allow your soul to wander
Through messy, unsafe, darkened streets.
Don’t allow your mind to ponder
What’s gone wrong. Focus on the Light.

When you thoughts begin to flounder,
When your heart continues hurting,
Remember arms, outstretched in love,
Awaiting your return to Him.

We’re not made to just meander
Through a world beset with evil.
But opened hearts allow God in,
And He can change us every time.
