DARK-THUNDERING MORNING
–
Monday morning grey
With rumble in the air….
Forecasts are for little rain
But lots of afternoon fare.
–
Storm coming in a steady front
Advancing through the night…
Three or more inches some may receive,
Prompting flash flood fright.
–
We up on higher ground
Anticipate the storm…
Power poles are easily knocked down,
Then how will we stay warm?

HONOR THE LORD WITH THY TONGUE
My Lord knows that when I’m stretched
I can’t keep it all together…
It’s not in the big things I act a wretch,
But in calmer weather.
–
I don’t have an excuse letting down my guard,
And singing a tune off-key…
Yet each of us have our baggage to claim
And that definitely includes me!
–
An impulsive comment that rises within
Is often my stumbling block…
Tho’ my lips start moving at some pretty girl,
I never or rarely take stock.
–
My wife’s had her problems, my medicine’s low,
While doubts and fears abound…
The Lord has my back as I well-know
Keeping my tongue on higher ground!!!!

MUMFORD RIVER HEADER
This Mumford River header
On a sunny autumn day,
Was taken at Capron Falls
In Uxbridge, that-a-way…
I don’t think it’s original to me
But on Google it was found,
I’m glad I live upstream from here
On slightly higher ground!
