My Desire

A desire hidden with all of us is often ignored or taken as something else. I have a desire burning inside me and it will keep on burning every day until my Saviour returns to the Earth. The desire to be pain free, sorrow free, heartache free, free from darkness. Oh how much it burns but how sweet is the power that can subdue it all.



My Desire

Oh the loving desire in my heart
So deeply hidden within
I begin the day waiting for Him to bring it out
Only He can do it without a doubt
He’ll bring me from the dark to the light
There is not one man on Earth
Who could pull this desire from me
It’s perched way down in my heart
Awaiting the One

Many a day I wander
Hoping to subdue my desire
It burns in me like fire
I yearn for the One
Who can put this fire out
He’s coming soon,
I have no doubt

Oh how I count the days
Till He descends upon the Heaven's rays
Down to Earth
And rescues me from this fire within
and take me home to the true place I desire.




Phillipians 1:6 Being confident of this, that he who began good work in you, will carry it on completion until the day of Christ Jesus.

Christmas, the Gift from Heaven


This was my final Christmas poem that I wrote for 2012. As we get ready for the Christmas season 2019, I wanted to come back to this and share with you all.
Merry Christmas everyone! I pray you receive many blessings of good health and prosperity in the coming year. God Bless Everyone! Thank you Lord for this oh so special gift. I will treasure it forever.


Christmas, the Gift of Heaven

Colourful ribbons and bows
Frost upon your nose
Streets lined with glistening lights
Preparations have begun for the 
Holiest of nights
Stores are full of shoppers galore
as they buy more and more
T'is the season with much greed
we need to be reminded of a greater need
that stays all year round
not just when the snow falls to the ground
It's the poor and lost that need us the most
so before you give that toast
Open your heart to a time long ago
to an event I'm sure you'll know
Feast your eyes on that big bright star
that shone from afar
that led so many to see Heaven's gift
Look how we've fallen adrift
in a sea of hurts and unforgiveness
Let this be the time to give up those sins
and turn back to His love and kindness
May the Lord's grace and mercy
flood your heart with the desire to care
and may it cause you to share
His wondrous gifts
with each and everyone you meet
be sure to spread His love everyday
not just on Christmas Day
It's the ultimate gift that never stops giving
Straight from Heaven
My kind of gift.

Gift of Jesus


As Christmas draws nearer and the shopping comes to an end, I thought I'd post this reminder of why the season came to be. It's nice to shop and buy but to recieve this special gift is the best reason of all!
I will have one more post for Christmas. I hope you have enjoyed my Christmas poems. Please do leave a comment below or on any of the Christmas poems.
Merry Christmas to All! May the Lord fill your hearts with warmth, love and many blessings in 2013.


The Gift of Jesus

Each year ‘bout December time
In the midst of chaos 
Begins the race to find the biggest and best gift of all
We stress and tire 
And search up to the wire
At any store or mall around
But can it be done?
Can we really find the biggest and best gift of all?
At the shopping mall?
Truly there must be a bigger and better gift?

Why it’s just under our noses,
The problem is we never stop to smell the roses
So how then could we ever know of the Bigger gift?

It’s larger than the biggest shopping mall,
Can’t fit it in a box
It's made for sharing when opportunity knocks
Whether we search high to the North
Low to the South then out to the East 
Back to the West as the oceans flow
Or where the winds blow
It's spread from your house to mine
And laced through our hearts

Still we fail to see 
We think it only comes once a year
So lend me your ear and I will tell 
Of the Biggest and Best Gift of All
That only One can deliver and surely He has

We must be eternally thankful
For the gift of which I speak is simple you see
It’s God’s gift of Jesus for you and for me.
There is just no other gift that can compare
The Biggest and Best Gift of All
Is ours for the taking.
Jesus was and is the Biggest Gift of  ALL!


Mathew 1:22-23All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet. The virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son and they will call him Immanuel which means-God is with us!

I think we need reminders of the reason for the season!

Just another reminder of what should be in our hearts at Christmas time and the whole year through!
MERRY CHRISTMAS FRIENDS and FRIENDS!


Don't Save It till Christmas Day

Glimmering lights bounce of the falling snow
Sweet smells of yummy treats linger slow
The magic fills the air 
Christmas shopping with care
but concentrate I cannot
for my thoughts they wander
to a time long ago in a place over yonder
where a special One in a manger lay

The bright shining star at top the tree
reminds of the angels shining high 
in the sky for all to see
just where hope of peace for mankind began
His birth oh what a gift for you and for me
Such a gift of love
sent from our Lord above

Decorations on each branch
remind of all the blessings for a second chance
to change our hearts and save our souls
to read and know the word
of our Gracious and Loving Lord

I ponder over songs of peace, love and joy
Savior smiles on every girl and boy
rejoice as families come together
no matter the weather
but Christmas needs to be more
there needs to be no more war
for all to obey and live by God's way

For the world to love and trust
in Jesus Christ is a must
To love and care for one another
as sister and brother
is the desire of The Father
So put down those weapons
silence the nasty tongues
and if it wouldn't be too much of a bother
Say MERRY CHRISTMAS
be kind and loving in every way
today and every day
Don't save it till Christmas Day!

Candy Cane Kisses

OK so I was having fun. I had to come up with a craft for me wee friends(day care) about candy canes. I wanted something a little different. The phrase "candy cane kisses and marshmallow dreams." popped into my head. So I cut out some red candy kiss shapes and had the children glue on white and green strips of paper. Then I thought it needed a little poem. This is where I had some fun. I attached it to each of their "Candy Cane Kisses" They look so cute. This is my fun poem of Christmas. As Christmas draws near I do hope you get smothered in candy cane kisses from your own little ones.

Candy Cane Kisses

Candy cane kisses, oh so yummy and sweet
to receive one is just so neat
only to be followed by marshmallow dreams
that ooze through the stickiest of Heavenly streams
Come on with me and take a whirl
on these peppermint swirls
As we climb to the sky
be sure to take a lick as we fly by
Christmas is here
Let's give a great cheer
Grab hold of someone along the way
And share with them these joys of Christmas Day
Let's fill our hearts with oodles of sticky love
As we float through the streams from above
May the peace and joy inside 
Be with you and your kin
today, tomorrow and always
May you spread your own candy cane kisses
and be blessed with many marshmallow dreams
for many years to come.

Have a Very Merry Christmas
and a Blessed year ahead!

Christmas



Christmas 

Sparkle, twinkling shining lights
help to take the dark from the night
the colours they glisten and bounce 
from snowflake to snowflake
all to the Glory of it's name sake

Jesus had come, Jesus had gone
but it's what He had done
that we remember the most
the message from the Heavenly Host
was clear as could be 
but falter did we
as Christmas draws near
reminded are we
of He who came to wipe our sins clear

Each light that twinkles,
each branch adorned
each gift wrapped in pretty paper 
A Heavenly reminder 
of a babe in a manger 
whose purpose was 
to spend his life teaching us of the Father's Love
and bring us to our Lord above

This Christmas season friends
I pray for one and all
that as you hang that last Christmas ball
You'll pause a moment and bow to pray
in thanks for that Glorious Day
when our Lord and Saviour came our way

Though He does not walk in the world with us
He's never left our side.
Let's not get lost in all the retail fuss
inside our hearts is where He needs to abide.

Merry Christmas Friends, Families and Foes
Glory to God in the highest
and on Earth peace to men on whom his favour rests

This has been my Christmas Wish and Always will be

I've been waiting for this season for a whole year! Yes, I can never get enough Christmas. The only thing that isn't the same from the Christmases when I was young is the lack of snow. The area where I now live doesn't seem to like having white Christmases, but that's not my point. This world has turned so far away from the real meaning of Christmas, the real reason for the season. There are many people that observe Christmas and celebrate but do we really know what it's all about.
I have written a few poems that are all about Christmas. I love Christmas for all the reasons it's meant to be especially because it's the time when we celebrate our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ's birth. No one knows the exact day this is supposed to be. It all depends on the place in the world where you observe. I believe in God's word and His gift to us. If we observe that on December 25th, then so be it. I celebrate my Lord everyday. Christmas is everyday. The festivities last a few days but Emmanuel is there all year
round! Come Emmanuel! Come!
This is what I wish for Christmas every day and every year!

Christmas Miracle

After all the stores have closed and lights go dim
I can’t help but draw to my thoughts of Him
That beautiful babe so tender and sweet
That would one day suffer a feat
But not be conquered when He fell
All for the glory of One we don't know well

We honour and celebrate every year
Yet seldom think of why He was here
Why should we when we have shopping malls 
and video games
What would we have to gain
Shouldn't we feel shame
How could we abandon such a friend
To our selfishness and idolatry, 
I hope there is an end

My Lord and Saviour He can save
Us all from a nasty grave
For that’s why this miracle came to be
He had to take the rap for you and me
Are we all so lost

Oh how I long to see that Peaceful Glory of Christmas
That has been lost along the way
My wish for Christmas is simply a Miracle
A Miracle in Faith
Faith that my family and friends
Will be still and listen to the silence of the Lord
In what is the most glorious time 
I wish for everyone, everywhere
to stop on Christmas Day if you dare
and love one another 
and receive the gift of our Father
again for the First time
Merry Christmas to one and all
Please remember He who took the fall 
And reach out to Him
Without Him your future will be grim.

Acts 3:18But this is how God fulfilled what he had foretold through all the prophets saying that his Christ would suffer; Repent then and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord and that he may send the Christ who has been appointed for you-even He must remain in Heaven until the time comes for God to restore everything.


About Me

My photo
We all have gifts given to us by The Lord God above even before we were a glint in our parents eye. The Lord designed each one of us to have a gift. What we choose to do with the gifts he gives us is what matters. I chose to share my gift with the world. I'm not a professional. I have had no educational training in poetry writing other than basic english that they teach you in school. All my poems are inspired by God's word and the desire to have a better relationship with him. I have also been inspired by life events that God has led me to healing for. I am a mother of 2 boys trying to do my best to please the father and raise my boys to live the same way.
