Tides

We will make mistakes

we will fall on our face

But what really matters

is that we fall with grace

When tragedy dies

and lessons are learned

happiness is found

the tides have turned.

Speed

We have measured the speed of light

We have measured the speed of sound

The measurement of darkness is so quick

It leaves us breathless on the ground.

We measure the speed of love

All speeds of which are real

This new love in my life

Has really made me feel

At any speed, love is still love

And my love to you I give

So glad we didn’t let measurements interfere

Baby, it’s time to live!

When We Don’t Know

© February 2010 Angela Bininger

W h e n      w  e     d o nt
know       which     road
to     travel,    He  gives
u s      a      sign.    When
w e    dont   know   how
to  get down  the   road
He    leads     t h e   way.
When   we   encounter  bumps   in    the  road,  He gets  us
over     them.   When  we    dont    know  how   far   we  can
make   it,   He   proves   to   us   we  can.    When   we  didnt
think   we  would   survive   the   trip,   He   shows  us   how
strong  we are.  When  we   dont  know all  of  the  answers
He     reveals    them.     When     we    feel     we     have   just
l  o s  t         i  t          a l l

W  h e n     we      d o n t

th e      f i r s t       t i m e,
He      m a k e s      s u r e
that   we  r e p e a t    i t.
W h e n       w e      d o n t
listen    t o    H i m,    He
lo v e s     u s       anway!
When      we      are       on
the   cusp    of    fulfilling
our    dreams,   He    had
it   planned    all    along.
When   we   don’t    know
how,  why,  when,  or   if
…….……………..…………..
He does  & always will!

Thank You Lord

THANK YOU LORD

Thank you Lord for giving me

These lessons from which I have learned.

And granting me the privelage

To grow

As each page I turn.

Thank you Lord for blessing me

With an ability to type and write.

Thank you Lord for giving me

A chance to share this life.

The lessons I have learned

I will now teach

And pass  on

So others can beware.

Thank you Lord for loving me

and For always being there.

In times ahead

I will likely fall

Perhaps repeating a lesson or two.

Thank you Lord for not judging me

And loving me as you do!

– AMEN –

Control

As humans we fight for control daily.

Control of our lives,

control of our emotions,

and at times…

Even the control of other people.

It’s not possible to be in control of anything.

Only God is in control.

That’s Life!

Understanding is half the battle

No matter who or where

Patience seems to run out

When tolerance is scarce

Loving can be easy to hate

Hate at times will be fun

Trust seldom seen

Lust, well that’s in everyone.

Fear

Is it fear?

Fear taking over me

Fear to walk away

Fear to finally face myself

Fear of what I say?

Is fear the reason we live in lies

Denial

And doubt?

If we had no fear

What would our life be about?

86 Degrees of Love

86 Degrees Of Love

86 degrees

That’s what the thermostat said,

Twas a steamy back seat instead of a bed.

Had it been in a bed nobody would have known,

That bodies could heat as the thermostat has shown.

Windows all fogged up, can’t see a thing!

Those passionate memories make my heart sing.
