GRIZZLY WHOM?
Discontent to stay at Madame’s,
He rambled on various macadams…
Unshaven in church
On a pew he’d perch,
They called him Grizzly Adams!*
–Jonathan Caswell
* Grizzly Adams…no relation to that famous character, other than in appearance!
HEALTHY SIGNS
Counseling’s started for him,
His attitude isn’t as grim…
His wife noticed
He’s eating less lotus,
And starting even to grin!
–
He went on Sunday to church,
While greeting began to search…
For the first time insisting
Certain women unresisting
To give HIM a hug first!
–
Put his arm around one to ask,
Spread arms wide for the other’s task…
It felt good to be
Acting so free
Away from stress’ grasp!
–Jonathan Caswell
HIS BLESSING CAME THROUGH
We really found a hassle
And I was feeling blue…
Eating our last morsel,
When His blessing came through!
–
The bank was getting nervous,
I surely was too…
We had no way forward
When His blessings came through!
–
I found someone in church who had
Experienced this before…
Come to the brink of an abyss,
Miraculously restored.
–
It’s good to know some businesses care
And that our Lord is true…
We got our money back just in time,
When the Lord God’s blessing came through!
–Jonathan Caswell
A DRIVE-THROUGH ASH WEDNESDAY???
(A Christian opinion)
Today a radio wag
Came up with a new form of gag…
But the gag seems true,
Ash Wednesday Drive-through—
The latest spiritual sag?
–
Said the wag, no reason for God,
To get in the way of the odd…
Why go into church
For spiritual search,
When you can do it like a hamburger’s chawed?
–
Doing ritual won’t save
A single fast-food style knave…
If they can’t take time
To with God align,
They’d be better off at a Fat Tuesday rave!
–Jonathan Caswell
….LINES IN THE SAND!!!
This weekend he understood
Drawing lines in the sand was good…
Beyond which to stop,
Be your own traffic cop
Choosing to do what Christ would.
–
Isolated for much of the week,
He looks forward to a peek….
At any specimen
Of living woman,
The view is his personal treat.
–
He sometimes daydreams
Concocting romantic schemes…
For women he’s seen,
It’s all just a dream
For which he has not the means!
–
He’s learned the hard way that
It depends on where he’s at…
In amongst church and friends
The daydreaming ends,
And that is the end of that.
–
Daydreaming done with little care,
Can end up a mental affaire…
Which Christ said clearly
Could not be,
Looking with lust over there!
–
The man is learning his lesson,
Standing his ground for blessing…
Be a blessing not a curse
Or lose his God first
With women other than his, don’t be messing.
–Jonathan Caswell
