Poems

Is it really…worth it? Pondering…holy writ, Patience..no throwing fits, “No”…to banana splits, Working out…building grit! Marriage?…please don’t just quit! Put Christ in the cockpit! Allow his grace to emit, Less strikeouts…more base hits, Inner peace…you’ll transmit, All in???…SUBMIT, COMMIT!!

Why love?

April 22, 2019 by Michael Sliney

Selfless service…with a smile?Magnanimity….worthwhile?Forgiving…never hostile?
“WHY” do you embrace the trial?Is “Faith” your mental turnstile?Does God’s love drive your lifestyle?For Christ!  Go the extra mile!!

Downshifting

March 12, 2019 by Michael Sliney

Downshift, hit the brakes…slow down the brain.
Get off the fast track…get off the train!
Stop sprinting…before you get a sprain!
Hoping this poem…provides a chicane!

Less thinking, more praying…so Christ reigns!
Lean into his heart… and there remain!
You never waste time with God…pure gain!
Trust his plan…enter his domain!!

Get God’s grace…today!

February 3, 2019 by Michael Sliney

Whistling…or WORRYING? Hustling and hurrying? Stressing and scurrying?
Stop…straightaway! Ponder and pray! What’s there to weigh? Naivete? Get God’s grace…today!!

The meaning of life

January 26, 2019 by Michael Sliney

Taking the hill, one day at a time? Working, playing hard…life’s paradigm? But WHY is THIS our internal rhyme? Ask the “WHY” before you start to climb! Life has meaning…simple yet sublime, Ponder it now, while still in your prime! God carefully, purposely shaped our souls, our hearts and minds, Give God glory, do His will, reflect His love…all the time!!

Beautifully broken

January 6, 2019 by Michael Sliney

Perfectly…imperfect, God doesn’t make mistakes!Staying on the surface? Look within…build on grace!
Physical appearance, May dazzle and delight, Holiness…coherence, Illuminates…ignites!
You’re beautifully broken, Christ loves you in this spot, A little heartbroken? Trust more! No second thoughts!

Envy

December 10, 2018 by Michael Sliney

Jettison jealousy…right away!                                                                      
Eliminate envy…why delay?                                                                              
Lethal leaches…leading hearts astray!                                                            
Sapping souls…exponential decay!                                                                    
Jesus, just Jesus…follow HIS way,                                                                          
Don’t descend…into Satan’s squeeze play!

Advent poem

December 1, 2018 by Michael Sliney

Mary and Joseph were packing their bags,
Swaddling clothes for Jesus, garments without tags.
The three Kings were also pitching their tents,
The star led to twists and turn of events.
 
The world marched on…at a frenetic pace,
Just a few knew…of Our Saviour’s birthplace.
Too busy, too worried, too much in the race,
Too bad! They could have seen Christ, face to face!
 
Advent has arrived..take time to reflect!
Leave the holiday wheel…recollect!
Start wrapping your gift…the one he desires!
He just wants your love…adore and admire!

He is so REAL!

November 18, 2018 by Michael Sliney

Invisible…but so REAL!
Trust your Faith…not what you FEEL!
He brings peace…not a raw deal,
Strength of will…like tungsten steel,
Healing…your Achille’s heel.
So slow down…get off life’s wheel,
Talk with Him…pray and kneel,
These words are truth…not a spiel!
