I draw this lone flowerInstead of a bouquetIt reminds me, we must stand aloneIf all should turn away.We must be a good exampleBe a light unto the worldBe a path that leads to lifeInstead of one that leads to death.We must be there for our brotherHelp him back up if he fallsBe a giver not a takerAnd love one another most of all.And though all should forsake us in this lifeAnd a friend there can’t b...  Read More

Sometimes we see things we think we cannot dobut we must understand that we are slates that are not blankbut silently filled with things withinthat Yahweh has for us to do.We shine in our differencesthat Yahweh makes you, uniquely.You, filled with jewels of slowly revealed riches.In all things praise Yahweh.by: the late Michelle Love...  Read More

I’m the keeper of my ark-houseThe place that we call home.It sits among the world,But here we are not alone.Within its walls we sing and pray,And praise our Abba Yah.Sometimes we cry, but He dries our tears,And then we carry on.Our Loving El told wise wivesTo build their houses upright,And not to ever tear them down,With haughtiness or strife.He also tells us ladies grayTo teach the younger wives,...  Read More

The way that thunder rolls across the sky from ten miles or more..you can count it coming as it rollsLike shofars blowing from one tel to another telAcross the land, across the whole world, how do we know; maybe across the universeSo comes Yom Teruah blasting, blowing, rollingLike a wave across the lands made by YahwehFrom one end of the world the moon comes shyly risingTill it shines in every pla...  Read More

Don’t cry for me whenI’m gone;For my heavenly Father and Savior,They live on.They’ve taken my spiritTo keep it safeUntil the time of the resurrectionWhen they will raise me up that day.As you think of me,I’m only asleep,Just getting some needed rest,So don’t weep.I’ll wake up one day;It won’t be long,And we will all be together againWhen His Kingdom comes.Our Father and His Son planned this all ou...  Read More

Like turning over soil in a fallow fieldSearching for the treasures of fertile thoughts and dreamsPast, present, futureFinding deep and unanswered needs and questionsExamining a furrow for possible growthI hill up my hopes in even rowsMark my places neatly at each endTie white strings of truth and powerWait……..by: the late Gayle Bonato...  Read More

You are the Potter:  I am the Clay!Whatever you chooseTo do with me,That’s the thing that ought to be.I wouldn’t try to change your mind,I wouldn’t if I could.Things would always happenThe way you think they should.You are the Father:  I am the Child!I’ll put my trust in you.You have better plans for me,Than anyone ever knew.When I descend into my grave,When my testing has been done,I’ll wait on t...  Read More

Early in the morning and when the evening comes,little birds outside my window lift their little voices, each and every one.It doesn’t matter where they are, it makes no difference if there is only one or two,they seem to sing both day and night no matter what they later do.One morning, as I listened their beautiful music rose higher in the air,along with this sweetness came the thought of a lesso...  Read More

Israel came to the sea and couldn’t get across,But that was no problem for Yahweh.The sea was wide and the waters were deep,But that was no problem for Yahweh.The desert was barren, no water in sight,But that was no problem for Yahweh.The people were hungry and needed some food,But that was no problem for Yahweh.That was no problem for Yahweh.That was no problem for Yahweh.He gave them food and wa...  Read More

Many lives appear the same yesterday, today and forever more.With life rushing past so quickly, how do you behave when the one who is yourbest friend comes to your door?Is there an awareness that, day or night, your friend is by your side?A friend so close that rides with you as your mind wanders here and there,your thoughts open and clear, things you don’t think to change or hide?Your friend is y...  Read More

Praise Yahweh! The Bible is full of so much inspiration!I was reading the Bible one day and was inspired to write poetry. In addition, I felt inclined tofind and list related Scriptures.This is the Scripture that moved me:1Samuel 12:22, 24For Yahweh will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake: because it hath pleasedYahweh to make you his people.Only fear Yahweh, and serve him in truth w...  Read More

What wonderful things cannot be said of You?Heavenly Father, Yahweh of Hosts,As You and as Yahshua rightly taught,Whom we should love in our lives the most.If we feel alone, You are OmnipresentSo You are with us, right there.If we feel unloved, Your Word says,“Yahweh is love” and that for us He cares.If we are in need of food or raiment,Yahshua teaches, don’t worry what you’ll eat, drink or wear.I...  Read More

Out of the darkness I rise, with Yahweh and Yahshua by my sideNo longer wandering in the dark; they are a perpetual light by my side and in my heart.They lead and guide me, I am never alone. They care for me and protect me as I am their own.Out of the darkness I rise, with Yahweh and Yahshua by my sideTroubles and fear will not break me; their loving arms will never forsake me.Job is my inspiratio...  Read More

Why, do I feel so alone?Why, must my soul yearn,In a way that leaves me, breathless,While my stomach so burns?How can I escape,While my body aches,The road so easy to take.To sulk in bed,Negative thoughts in my head,What can I do?If I don’t have YOU?I can chase the world,Round and round,Here and there,My whole life bound,Never finding peace,Never any joy,MORE would never be enough,All I would have...  Read More
