The Dark

Our guest poet today is my long-time friend Brenda Williams.  We have a rich history of a friendship and sharing for nearly 40 years.  Welcome Brenda.

Used by Permission

The dark sky helps the stars to burn bright

and offers a backdrop for their brilliant light.

So, in this life, when troubles appear

we can know God’s hand is hovering near.

The misery we face serves to impart

growth and abundance in our restless heart.

Blessing the battle, praising the pain

brings hidden life treasure to be gained.

Pausing to lift our darkness in praise

adds depth to our lives, and light to our days.

In my pain and struggle, God, help me to see

that You’re building a pathway to heaven for me.

Come Light Our World

© 2014 by P Michael Biggs

Come light our world, O Christ the son of Mary
Be born in us anew and fresh we pray
Oh may we take the time we need to tarry
At your birth place, and see God’s plans and ways
Oh may we take the time we need to tarry
At your birth place, and see God’s plans and ways

His light still shines ore all the world victorious
He is God’s gift, for all mankind today
The Mighty God, His love is reining ore us.
He shines on us, He lights our every way
The Prince of Peace, Emmanuel is with us
His light still shines; now let us walk His way.

Now may His light be brightly burning in me
May my life be a beacon of His love
May I now share the joys and peace He gives me
Where ere I go, I know He’s there above
His light is shining everywhere around me
Where ere I go, I know I walk in love

The Christmas Ring

© 2014 by P Michael Biggs

It’s Christmas time

Listen to the ring

The ding-a-ling

And the sound of wings

It’s Christmas time

What will you bring

Will your steps have a spring

When you bow before the king

Ding-dong-ding

Let the bells ring

For their voices sing

A welcome to the King

It’s Christmas time

Do you hear the bells ring

Be bold, let your voice sing

“Welcome.  Welcome my King”

Love

Have you ever been in love

You’re either in or out of love

Sometimes friends talk you out of love

When you’re in love do you think the world of

And are you tolerant of

The one you love

Some say loves reminds them of a dove

Make sure your love fits like a glove

One thing to avoid - that would be a shove

When you aren’t in love

Are you proud of your love

Do you fit like a hand in a glove

I surely hope you’re patient of

And never tire of your love

The end has come

I hope you become

Abreast of love

Consumed with love

Pretty Girls

(c) 2014 P Michael Biggs

I like pretty girls

In little pig tails

And frilly dresses

With pearls

Do girls like me

It’s plain to see

I’m married to one

We were meant to be

Have you ever been in love

When you’re in love do you think the world of

And are you tolerant of the one you love

Some say love reminds them of a dove

Sometimes friends talk you out of love

One thing to avoid - that would be a shove

When you aren't in love

Are you proud of your love

Do you fit like a hand in a glove

I surely hope you’re patient of

The one you truly truly love

The end has come

I hope you become

Abreast of love

Consumed with love

Pete Did It

© 2014 by P Michael Biggs

(By the way, this actually happened to me)

We had a dog named Pete

He was a dog that was neat

He brought much joy to our home

He was one never prone to roam

One day I struck some matches

I burned the grass in big brown patches

When Dad came home he wanted to know

Who did this and how so

I blamed it on Pete

He was convenient at my feet

Dad didn’t buy that

I couldn’t sell it

So Pete got redemption

And I learned a lesson
