You

Something smoothe

Goes true as few

And don’t say moo

Unless I ask you.

Start to decide.

We’ll go for a ride

To the other side.

I’ll seek. You go hide.

Oh, so I tried and tried

To make it fly.

But it just sat there

Then went inside.

Can you see how true

The red, white and blue?

Can you feel the shake

Of my knees as they quake?

Baloo is a bear

And I am a man cub.

What are you?

Flying High

Ask me a question.

I’ll try not to lie.

I’ll give you an answer,

And then I shall fly

Away from here,

To a desert island

Where none shall fear.

Let’s do the twist

In the midst of this trip.

Let’s go to the end

And try not to spend

All of our wind,

My friend.

Do you deliver?

Is this for dine in or carry out?

Don’t forget to take out the trash.

And where

Is the Batman?

Unpredictable

Meandering along,

I am struck by the thought

That it’s been a while

Since I’ve seen you.

So, perhaps, we can

Get together soon.

Ocean blue

For miles and miles,

Across the horizon.

A bird catches flight,

Nearby.

Where will it go from here?

Nobody knows,

And nobody can predict

What that bird will do.

I cannot. Can you?

Nature is unpredictable.

So is humanity.

And some are more than others.

A Stranger’s Love

Justice is not for just us,

But for everyone.

We need to support our church,

As well as look for other

Opportunities to give to others,

Besides our friends and family.

Loving the stranger

Was an important lesson

That Jesus taught

In his parable,

The Good Samaritan.

In this story,

Jesus asks,

Who was a neighbor

To the person in need?

The answer is

The Samaritan,

Who was a foreigner,

Some would say

An enemy.

But he was the one

That goes out of his way

To show love.

May we all be like him.
