SOMETIMES...I WISH

In Psalm 142 David pours out his 'complaints' unto his 'Friend'...God. I would not, could not have a friend to whom I could not go to with my complaints, as well as with my Praises. David's Friend is also my Friend and there are times when, I wish.....
Pressing-on, amen.


Poem Artwork

 

Sometimes...I wish  

I was a little fly 

unnoticed... 

by every eye 

I'd sit upon 

sanctury wall 

no one would know 

I was there at all 

I'd watch no one... 

no one would watch me 

oh, what a wonderful  time 

it would be! 

All us sinners 

just following our Father's plan 

trying our best to make it to Beulah Land 

On the wall...I'd be unknown 

an unseen stranger in the midst 

there'd be no undertone  

...or gist 

Nothing would arise...for 

carnal games 

no reason...for signs 

or pulpit fame 

Only God's Spirit 

flowing free 

all about Him...nothing 

about me 

No shining stars... 

no glistening heads 

but Abundant Love  

and Calvary's Praise instead 

How I do wish...sometimes 

I was a little fly 

unnoticed...by every eye 

But that, Dear Lord  

is not Your Will 

so, I'll follow...distant to all but 'You'
 
and be still
 
 
 
 
2 Corn 4:8-10, Ps 46:10

THIS IS IN RESPONSE TO JOHN'S COMMENTS. I FELT I SHOULD POST IT PUBLICLY BECAUSE OTHERS MAY FEEL THE SAME WAY. MY EXPLANATION AS TO WHY I CHOSE A 'FLY' TO LIKEN MYSELF AFTER IS SOMEWHAT EXTENSIVE SO, I POSTED IT UNDER...ARTICLES. IT IS ENTITLED; 'WHY...A FLY?' I HOPE EVERYONE READS IT AND WHEN YOU DO, YOU GET A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE THE SPIRIT WAS LEADING ME IN THIS WORK. BLESSINGS, LOVE AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Very Nice Joyce! It is so hard to keep ourselves from conforming to the world issues, especially when they are directed to you. I am glad that Christ left us with the words "take heart for I have overcome the world" because some days are absolutely tests of faith!

I will follow at a distance and be still too...
Take Heart my friend!!

It's tough enough in life to take care of ones own business.

Well done Joyce! It's soooo funny. The expression of being, "A fly on the wall" is taken to heart too often.

After all, a fly cannot think and communicate like we can so what good would it do? Perhaps it's better to say that, "I wish I were invisible" and wow, wouldn't that be FUN!!

Always good to see your work on the den, after all, you ARE INSPIRATION!

Love, Blessings and Good Health,

John Michael

Karma Bank to Following By Listening by Chiemi

These song lyrics and art are tales, tides and twinkling lights - tunes telling stories of warmth and sun, city and sand, paths that lead, and the coins we can keep in the Karma Bank. Spirit's been bypassed for sorrow, dreaming of a better tomorrow .
