Nailed – A Holy Week Acrostic Poem

 

No sin left unforgiven

At the last day

If you but ask.

Let Him fill you with His grace . . .

Eternal life Him.

“Do you love me?” I do.

Ashes. An Acrostic Poem For Lent

An ashen heap,

So full of memories burned and gone

However, not truly forgotten, but then:

Enter upon the scene Jesus Christ

Sin forgiven as ashes swept away and treasure redefined!

JOY – An Acrostic and Haiku

Jesus in my heart?

Omnipotent Savior . . . more!

Yes, friend and lover!

SMILING – An Acrostic About Today

Sometimes life goes along a familiar path for a while then . . .

My heart pounds as I face a brick wall.

I thought I was clever and strong.

Looking at the wall from this side still . . .

I find myself trusting the Lord, but . . .

New heart, new hope, new crack in the brick wall . . .

God provided a toe hold to climb up and begin anew!

Jesus, Milk, and Cookies – An Acrostic About Faith

Carrying my milk and cookies to my quiet place

Of refuge from the challenges which seem to be

Organizing themselves for battle against me.

Kill me?  They may try but are unlikely to succeed.

I have my Jesus with me.  He has a plan.

Expecting great things from Him . . .

Staying wrapped in His love.

Weakness – An Acrostic on Strength Redefined

What would I do without you . . .

Except rely on my own questionable strength

As I used to do.

Kept me happy for brief moments, yet . . .

Not filled with Your joy as I know it now.

Even so,

Sometimes I lose my focus on you, but then?

So quickly you pick me up and hold me close once more!

Peaceful – An Acrostic For Today

 

Pausing at midday, I dropped by your house . . .

Expecting and needing to find you there . . .

And I did for you never disappoint me.

Crying out to you for a peace I could not feel

Even though I knew it was within me behind the wall . . .

Felt it slowly taking me over as the surrounding bricks began to crumble . . .

Until I knew nothing but your closeness . . .

Listening, I heard you say “rest in me.”

A Hunger To Be Fruitful – An Acrostic Poem

A cold November night,

Perplexed by challenges but

Passionate about you.

Lifting the cup of cider to my lips and

Enjoying its sweetness as my spirit lifts.
