To dwell on earth
But for a short while
Time goes fast
We have little time

Lot of things we should do
We say tommorow will do
We just dispair
Nothing happens

Do we care
We struggle with life daily chore
Unfull filled
Unless we make it happen

Is it fate luck could happen
No one knows
Or I know is the pearly gates beckon

I will fly without restraint,
I will nestle in the clouds.
No one can hurt me now,
for I am strong and very proud.

There are no chains that bind me
my inner spirit- it will soar;
a place of joy awaits me
where the pain will be no more.

But am I dead or just inside
the turmoil in my mind?
Figure it out yourself
if you would be so very kind.

Thank you Lord for saving me
You took our sin and set us free.
O Lord of heaven we pledge to be
Your humble servants faithfully
And God in glory we will see.
You'll bring us safe to be with Thee.

From day to day within our life
We praise Your name within our strife
With open hearts to let You in
You've freed our souls from all our sin.
Dear Lord of heaven so graciously
Your children yearn so needfully.

When darkness falls and perils near
Your Spirit comforts us held dear.
Bolster our hearts with Your sweet love
And guide us to Your heaven above.
Perfect Redeemer, through Your Son
Help us to fight till war is won.

With You in heaven we'll take our place
And worship round Your holy face
No more to sin or worries raise
Our souls in glory bring You praise.
We herald Your blessing, for at last
Our earthly journey is now past.

Anthony Ward 2014

I asked God for strength that I might achieve;
I was made weak that I might learn to humbly obey.

I asked for health that I might do greater things;
I was given infirmity that I might do better things.

I asked for riches that I might be happy in life;
I was given poverty that I might be wise.

I asked for power so I might have praise of men;
I receive weakness that I might be in need of God.

I asked for things that I might enjoy my life;
I was given life that I might would enjoy things;

I got nothing I asked for ,
But every thing I hoped for.

Almost, dispite myself,
My unspoken prayers were answered.

I am among all men most richly blessed!

Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will fail; whether there are tongues, they will cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is in part will be done away.

my dear poet
here is a vision
I had last night in my dream.....

here lays a woman
in her casket of glass
loosely holding a gladiolus in her arm

in a gesture of
pure abandon
she relinquishes
all pledges of youth
to leap into endless mirroring of sleep

she reveals a
slender breast
where stirrings of
innocence and desire
culminate to a levelled peak

a loneliest blossoming tree

water floods now her muted body
as she drifts down the sacred river
to sink into the disparaged
sun of mortal wish


it is me, poet
with the end-light of a fallen star
shielding my face as I flee
& you run bewitched
from threshold
to threshold in seek
of my dying scent


I awake clenching a lilac
between my teeth

I must close,
write soon,

My heart is tearing apart as i cry out
in pain begging for some relief.
I did not know i would end up here at
this moment or time in my life.
I want only to provide for you.
I do not want you to feel my pain.
I drop to my knees crying out
in prayer to you Lord wanting you my
heavenly father to help me through this
obstacle in my life.
I tell myself just have faith.
I see no other job in site for me.
Yet i keep on traveling down this
road that you have put me on LORD.
You have always met my needs
before i even knew i had them.
Therefore where is my disbelief.
There still is this little question
if i can pay bills after this next month.
I just keep reminding myself to keep
the faith and rely on GOD.

Questions ever more questions
Curiosity never to be broached
I raised my mind and thought
I touched
the skirt of the goddess
It lasted but a moment
and yet I saw
The countless eons of times agone
And the vista of those yet to come
I heard her words,
“Man you are never forgotten
as you agreed to forget
it’s the price of experience
by which ever enriched
you will become
to know me”.

Oh Lord and mighty Savior
I sing in your name praise be
In honor to you King of Israel
who takes away the sins of this world

Star of all stars Bethlehem
shining salvation loves light
purity in the scriptures fulfilled
proclaiming him blessed Holy One

A messenger singing Heavenly
an angel in praise to king of kings
In peace and good deeds God's only son
Blessed born his Immaculate heart

Conceived of the Holy Spirit Lord
Almighty Holiness in your council
one of understanding happy birthday
Our shepherd born salvation leads his flock

Faraway in the distance
three wise kings following sign
A diamond star they followed
light of truth born shone in a manger

As they entered bowing bearing gifts
Gold worshiping the Almighty king
Myrrh most precious bitter herb of the east
Frankincense to perfume our Holy One

The shepherds came as an angel sang out
Heavenly song in gentle melody
singing born today is our savior child
praise eternities revelations tune

O most Gracious Lord Jesus
I bow humble inside meek
happy birthday oh master
our savior Almighty King

For i am on a tightrope heading towards a bridge.
On either side are people from my church.
Underneath are hecklers among the darkness.
I can see the words ANCC on the left.
The pastor and a group of unknowns on the right.
I am separated by them by a see though wall.
I hear people falling from both sides
where they go into the dark to be hecklers.
I hear them getting loader.
All of a sudden i trip on a plug
which seem to be built from people.
You may say i tripped on power as i climbed
onto the bridge to walk towards the light.
Little at a time the people on my left
dropping into the abyss until even the
the name fall as the hecklers get loader.
I keep my eye on the light as peace
overwhelms me making me feel loved.
As i get closer to the light the wall
gets shorter in height.
I then see a group walking away from
pastor down a separate path away from him.
I am trying to take this all in that
i have been shown to allow the
LORD to lead me down HIS path.
