Why Redemptive Rhymes

The Skill and Strength of Love Truth be told, this world money talks People are taught this from young Raised under this skill, love soon walks To one, love of money is then sung Where one is given the skill of struggle In survival, one is taught strong For love of money, there no juggle In the skill of survival, love there last long Let the skill of money fell one this world How fast one soon forgets how to love For then a struggle is then hurled And love then becomes void of Just because of money, one cannot give What one can teach, the skill of love Then when money fells, one soon can forgive One gave the strength of love, that to be proud of!      ©Doris Elaine Thoughts: For all the struggling parents, rather single or coupled, just because you may not be able to give much this year in this holiday season, don't get depressed because you are giving more then this world can.

Consequences of Worldly Conformity! Its all about giving face to draw attention Or maybe following others in universality To oneself this demeanor then their extension Others delight when one partakes their enormity Although, inside the spirit develops apprehension As one fakes the delight in this self-deformity For one's spirit rises in this awkward dissension As in the world one did give-in to this uniformity For as one partakes of worldly things to draw attention One suffers in the consequences of worldly conformity!      ©Doris Elaine Thoughts: It is easy to follow the ideas of others of how one is supposed to be in this world; especially when its attention one seeks.

Remembering, God is in charge, He made the nations and established them; Ac
