“Ila’s Day”

cji

12/7/12

A friend and a sister

life long and forever

this is her day always

a birthday and joy

bringing in a smile

enlightening a world

laughter and tears

hearing Father’s call

steadfast and true

Ila’s day to make note

is she 21 or only 32!

(Happy Birthday Ila!)

“Where Were You?”

cji

12/7/12

Then or now found today

were you in yesterday hid

or playing in the tomorrows

a child or an adult to know

forgetting having never been

learning only the junk tales

finding and feeding on drugs

seeking entitlements pelf

or standing tall and proud

hand on your chest to honor

saluting in a privilege earned

watching a flag pass by

remembering the infamy

so long ago repeated today?

“A Day to Remember”

cji

12/7/41

Not yet born to be present

watching from afar deceit

restrained by angels/friends

unable to intercede to warn

yet always this is a memory

a day to remember always

of how the arrogance able

decided the lives of thousands

by sitting on hands limpid

doing nothing to intercede

unstopping a world at war

choosing instead to offer up

lives of many in harm’s way

on this December’s day!

“Can it Ever be Over”

cji

12/7/12

A child born to hear air raids

loud explosions near or far

watching flags being waved

widows and orphans in tears

can it ever be over in years

my heart and being engraved

a perpetual painful scar

in an abyss as memory fades!

“Death’s Sacrificed”

cji

12/7/12

It’s been 71 years long ago

some alive and remember

many taken their last breath

some then and some today

death’s sacrificed for others

all claiming right on their side

while those truly evil abide

blaming others and not self

putting men/women/children

into the storms of destruction

hailing bullets and bombs

napalm and even worse

saying they would’ve died

for time takes all in the end

yet these death’s sacrificed

as men fear peace above all

embracing war in avoidance!

“More Important Things”

cji

12/7/12

Passing on of friends known

and patriots often unknown

brothers and sisters in arms

sent by politicians into danger

in blank stares of a stranger

eluding illusions of charms

into monsters evil grown

without empathy shown;

My sisters and brothers gone

you’re remembered each day

while imposters pass laws

claiming your valor theirs

invoking correct slurs

extending evil their claws

but for you now we pray

facing freedom’s dawn!

“Without Knowing”

Cji

12/7/12

Such inane material floating

sneaking in on emails often

logic of the ‘y’ generation

confusing uses of toothpaste

otherwise trivial information

like the size of a shoe or sock

wondering what is nonsense

for living a life full of reason

finding truth and valid good

my whole life not knowing

of trivia would’ve been fine!

“Hidden”

cji

12/6/12

A stiffled grin

trying not to smile

laughter infectious

a child innocent

born in covenant

twitching and restless

found no guile

all hidden within!

“Absolute”

cji

12/6/12

Violence encountered

pent up emotions loose

driving nails into steel

ice and fire combining

volcanos exacting all

absolute power to yield

destruction profuse

mortality encumbered!

“Magnets”

cji

12/6/12

Attracting and deflecting

fields of high energy

unseen to the naked eye

yet in hearts to feel

eternal destinies to seal

a world questioning why

focal points tenderly

accepting and rejecting!

“Changing Profusions”

cji

12/6/12

Pleasant time in the woods

watching masterpieces in awe

varied in flowing time within

shadows and colors profound

white and black also seen

then brilliant red hues

deep radiant blues appear

changing profusions

Father’s canvas’ unfold!

“Passions Ebbing”

cji

12/6/12

Hail and harsh rains

bellowing thundering

flash banging lightning

tempests full of passion

till the winds quiet

waves ceasing to crest

serenity now inviting

passions ebbing!

“Required Work”

cji

12/6/12

Each day to be found

repeditive work doing

resting momentarily

what needs be done;

Required work bound

webs to be growing

all else secondarily

meals yet to be won!

“Connive”

cji

12/6/12

Collusion comes to mind

stealing and cheating all

deceitfully abusing power

caring not for nation’s law

decrying any who oppose

blackmailing and berating

letting others take the blame

encouraging evil behavior

unwilling to be forgiving

to connive with the Devil

secretly selling one’s soul

scheming for worldly pelf

seducing all who follow!

“Cloche”

cji

12/6/12

Transparent as if to protect

clearly hiding something

protection from the cold

while inducing damp mold

covering over another

desiring to be a brother

extending the life of death

using a cloche transparent!

“Round and Round”

cji

12/5/12

Continuous motion found within

creating momentum searching

wanting to know why some reel

when fighting against the pricks

denying God and Prayer as one

seeking to destroy freedoms right

expressions of love and trust

thus this email below continues

round and round to travel wide

generations and communities

America a nation needs to know

understanding the Savior to grow

reverence and repentance to show!
