My latest poem

May 4, 2026 by Michael Sliney

Keep going…don’t stop!
Rain drops and tear drops,
Chop chop!…belly flops,
Pop!!!…over the top!
Life throws some tough blows,
Patience…predispose,
Trusting that God “knows”,
Hang in there…don’t oppose!

My latest poem

April 29, 2026 by Michael Sliney

Mistakes in pride, anger, lust…?
Feeling down, depressed and crushed?
Get back up…shake off the dust!
Confession, God’s mercy…trust!
Wake up…it’s time to adjust!
More time for prayer is a must,
Without God’s grace, you’ll combust!

My latest poem

March 7, 2026 by Michael Sliney

Your face belongs to others,
Regardless of your druthers!
Each heart out there is aching,
Some…to the point of breaking!
Apply some “happy” covers,
Smile!…Lift up your brothers!
Hypocritical? Faking?
Nope!…It’s God’s love awaking!

My latest poem

March 1, 2026 by Michael Sliney

Comforting the “broken”?

Not just with a “token”,

With “words” that are spoken…
 
People are hurting “inside”!
“Empathy” should be applied,
Closeness…being “alongside”,
Respect…feeling “dignified”,
Christ’s love should not be denied!!

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!!
