Psalm 37:19
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time:
and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
I once sat
without hope
my heart starved
for a guarantee to know
the arm of security
to live free from
dependence upon
others......
I dreaded not
having my own,
I longed to
hold my tomorrows
safe in my own hands.
I knew You were Lord
but not of my Life
I was ignorant
of Your ways
surrendering control
once was difficult...
The truth is
I've never begged bread
I've enjoyed
a bowl of lentils
as much as a lobster
drenched in butter!
A coat from
the village thrift store
has kept my bones as warm
and looked as good
as my gifts from Saks.
I've driven someones
Jaguar, BMW,and Porsche
my honda rides just
as smooth.
I've been to the best
hair saloons
I've colored my own gray.
I once possessed
a lamp I found
in the trash and
an empty apartment
to put it in.
Another time I went
from a warm bed to
sleeping on the floor.
I had a job
then I didn't
then I had one again
and then I didn't
six times already...
When I lived well
I lived well,
when I had little
life was HONKY-DORY!!!!
So What more can I say
then to repeat the words
of my brother Saint Paul...
I have learned to be content
if I'm well feed or hungry
because.....
I too have Your Son
who strengthens me.
