“By Real People”

cji

12/10/12

Unable to withstand the crowds

Feeling wrapped in shrouds;

Stepping out into the light

Having chosen to do right;

Life by real people to heed

“No Time for Rest”

cji

12/10/12

Driven into the seas of life

storms forcing the course

trials and tribulations to be

great swells in the calm

ocean and pond and lake

sometimes a puddle will do

mud pies as children make

peace in Gilead’s balm

so much in mortality to see

communications and discourse

no time for rest in this life!

“Now Complete”

cji

12/10/12

All of one’s life seeking

perfection not to be found

close to being at times

most of all with another;

Into all areas now peeking

to another eternally bound

hearing heavenly chimes

nothing to put asunder;

Therefore now complete

family and loved ones

sealing in Temples done

sharing blessings with all;

Tears and warmth replete

hearing forever drums

united with Father/Son

Salvations Plan to call!

“Pomander”

cji

12/10/12

In ancient nations a stink

sacrifices of animals done

butcher houses of odors

incense used to cover up;

Modern governments link

with the past as only one

employing many loaders

pomander to now cover up!

“Who Wins and Who Loses”

cji

12/10/12

Many enjoy watching replays

games already in the records

knowing who won and lost

while in life they ignore still

doing of the Father’s will

being forever tempest tossed

joining the worldly hoards

justifying watching replays!

“Family Home Evenings*”

cji

12/10/12

Time set apart to be family

messages and singing

prayers and some planning

reading Scriptures as one

from a Prophet to be done

our internal lives scanning

joy and happiness bringing

time set apart to be family!

*The Family Home Evening
program is part of
The Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-day Saints
– with a promise from a
Prophet of God –
that if we hold this sacred
and weekly our families will
always be one if worthy.
The night usually set aside
for this by most families
is Monday night.

“Strong People”

cji

12/10/12

Not as the worldly pretend

but as Father accounts all

willing to be obedient today

yesterday and tomorrows

strong people who progress

blessings upon blessings

wavering not in temptation

holding fast to the iron rod

thus found standing alone

in the worldly way of men!

“Tutelary”

cji

12/10/12

Callings to be found to serve

responsible for one another

sometime before time began

covenants and commitments

guardians over sacred vows

watching over and protecting

keeping from the dark edge

promptings and feelings

allowing choices to be made

responsible for one another

calling to be found to serve!

“Weak People”

cji

12/10/12

Excuses and justifications

blaming others for mistakes

unwilling to stand for truth

rather to be found in crowds

preparing their own shrouds

denying innocence to youth

never really with what it takes

destroying good in all nations!

“Keeping Balance”

cji

12/10/12

Adjusting my juggling actions

shifting right and left or forward

trying to stay the straight course

only on the road to Zion matters

all else is secondary to worldly

the trail is narrow with ditches

land mines and pungi sticks

snares and temptations found

even those who’d try to maim

keeping balance in doing right

always to be going to the light!

“Father Knows”

cji

12/10/12

Giving my best and my all

doing all that I can do alone

leaving nothing in reserve

unwanting to fail in life

and I know Father knows

which is all important

for when I’ve done all

he hears my humble call

responding and helping

thus the result is beyond

anything I could’ve done

thus to acknowledge him

in all I do or say always

knowing Father knows!

“Just Walking Away”

cji

12/10/12

Sometimes finding no place to go

thus then picking up and walking

not getting angry or even revenge

just smiling quietly and politely

leaving food or money on the table

from the cold inside to the warmth

solitude and alone to be found

just walking away when needed!

“Misnomer”

cji

12/10/12

Opening one’s mouth to speak

must be approved and edited

clear and concise not racist

pure in heart and corrected

politically in tune with MSM

while considered free speech

one must truly understand

this is but a misnomer today

for in enslavement we stay

while the minions will play

in their pits of wet clay

and our nation to decay!
