Sunflower Seeds
I’m the parrot, green and bright, A writer bird with keen insight. I perch above the office door, And watch the writers on the floor.
Spoken in Season
When fear would seal your lips up tight, Ask God to help you speak what’s right. You need not make each phrase profound. His grace can shape each simple sound.
Fit for Publication
You carry books from door to door, And hear, “Not what we’re look for.” Yet every “no” can help you see A path toward new opportunity.
Beyond the Odds
Some have dreams beside the flashing light, Thinking their luck will change one night. They chase a prize through hope and chance, While flips of fortune lead a deceptive dance.
The Richer Way
I chased the things that seemed so bright, And thought they’d fill my heart just right. But every prize I would hold so tight Soon faded like stars clouded at night.
The Steadfast Pen
Not every bright and clever line Belongs within this work of mine. Some shining projects pull away From what God gave my pen today.
From Spark to Flame
A spark of faith begins to glow, And gently starts our hearts to grow. Though small at first, its light can climb, And shine more brightly over time.
Never Give Up
Soaring writers wake up early with stories to write. They brighten up sections from morning till night. New questions come up as their paragraphs grow, And many more ideas line up in a colorful row.
Chosen Before Dawn
Before the earth received its frame, God knew our hearts and called our name. Before one star began to shine, He formed in Christ a plan divine.
Caesarean Section
The term may come from Latin, it’s true, From “caedere,” meaning “cutting through.” But we can laugh at the comic connection Of dear Julius’s grand “Caesarean Section.”
Fruit Basket Boasting
A banana need not bend and sigh, Because an orange caught its eye. Apples don’t have to boast aloud, Because they hang above the crowd.
Pajamas and Wi-Fi Church
The online church can help us to hear, While coffee brews and snacks are near. But slippers, screens, and a sofa seat Do little to produce discipled feet.
