In our daily walks

In our daily walks

We have our struggles

We lack confidence

We have fear

We have doubts

In our daily walks

We all can flounder

Our paths shake

We wrestle tiredness

And our legs go weak

In our daily walks

We can lack trust

We look inwards

Instead of outwards

We need more faith

In our daily walks

We usually look down

So we lose out

In what’s in front of us

We need to have faith

In our daily walks

We should look upwards

We should focus on the outside

And hold our heads high

We need to have faith

In our daily walks

We need to remember,

We are not useless

We are loved

We are treasured

In our daily walks

Let’s be courageous

And remember we are strong

And we can do anything

Through Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Wrong Number

The phone rang

No caller ID

But I answered anyway

Intrigued

‘Hello’, I said

‘It’s been a while’,

Came the reply

In a very husky tone

‘Who is this?’ I said

‘It’s me Mike’, the voice said

‘No that can’t be,

Mike died a year ago’

‘Oops my bad’

Said the voice

‘Must be a wrong number’

The line went dead

Fleeting Moment

It was a fleeting moment

That time we met

One look at you

And I knew

We were sentenced to life together

As I could never let you go

Now after all these years

We are still together

There is nothing

That could tear us apart.
