Figured out life
by the time
i figured out
what life is all about
life was over
mistakes came first
and sprinkled throughout
at the last
came wisdom and sense
lessons learned too late
expensive experience

good habits
i've got to return
to habits long ago
productive, busy
mind on God
mind on the do

3 wishes from an angel
when i was young
on a schoolyard
an invisible messenger
asked what i'd like -
3 wishes
i only thought of one -
wisdom to ask the right question
later in life
i was asked again
what about the other two?
love and sex, let it count as one
work i enjoy
and one more, please
i thought further
to enhance the whole
God filling me
completing my soul

A world we don't see
There's a world beyond,
A world we don't see.
We're not aware of it,
It's aware of me.
What can't be seen
Doesn't mean it's unreal.
It's something we sense,
A presence I feel.
Jesus is there
And loved ones who died,
Watching out for us,
Taking our side.
Caught up in life,
Physical reality,
It's easy to lose sight -
Of spirituality!
