Hot Flash

A new season began, she had no clue

The tales of flashes were really true
Til one day consumed by heat
Sweat pops like in a hot seat
She waited for the air to break through.

Still not sure, it happened so fast

An explosion of heat, like from a blast
But shortly after, it was gone
And cold set in, what is wrong?
She asked when everything settled at last.

Once more the flush of heat made her heart thrash

It appeared she had taken a splash
Then in that very moment
With the evidence present
The verdict clear – Hot Flash!

A Teacher's Prayer

Lord, anoint my head

Anoint my hands and my heart

Guide this day ahead.

Lord, help me to love

Each child that will come my way

Gentle as a dove.

Lord, grant each child peace

A willing heart for learning

Knowledge to increase

Lord, bless each child’s home

Fill with love is my prayer

A sweet honeycomb.

And Lord, as we part

After a long day of work

Bond us by the heart.

Jesus Stayed in God's Will

Jesus stayed the course

He stayed in God’s will

Tried and convicted

He climbed Golgotha’s Hill.

He was nailed to the cross

In silence some did weep

He could’ve come down

But He had a promise to keep.

He could’ve hung on the cross in anger

But instead He had a forgiving heart

For those who cried, “Crucify Him!”

Love He did impart.

But on the cross He remained

From the sixth to the ninth hour still

Then He bowed His head and died

And scripture was fulfilled.

Jesus laid down His life for our sins

God’s purpose He did fill

He stayed on the cross

Jesus stayed in God’s will.
