Right here, right now? Where is your rendezvous?
Anxiously waiting in the future’s queue?
Still mulling over the past? Say adieu!
Right here, right now! Stay out of the fescue!
Let Christ take care of judicial review,
Walk in God’s spotlight and field of view!
Chasing, craving…caving?
Escaping…embracing?
Aching and awaking?
Don’t run, don’t numb the pain,
Side-step satan’s “chicane”,
Refuse, resist, restrain!
Without Christ, life’s insane!
Jesus alone must reign!
*Mailing out my mother’s day poem tomorrow…reminder to all of you, write your mom a poem!!
Unconditional…whole hearted!
Sublime sanctity…uncharted!
Total love…just getting started!!
Those soft green eyes…sparkle and shine,
Transmitting Christ’s light…crystalline!
Your gentle smile…unties, untwines,
True blue, authentic…genuine!
Your daily prayers?…top of the line!
You even love…the porcupines!
You’re the BEST mom…I must opine!
Sanctifying…silently, slowly,
Evangelizing…humbly, holy,
Tranquilizing…carefully, closely!
The sweet and gentle guest of our soul,
Softly inspires, tries to cajole,
Our “Christification” as it’s goal.
Give him the helm, and total control!
Mother’s mystical mind,
Remarkably refined,
Amazingly aligned,
Delightfully designed,
Usually unfeigned,
Quagmires? Quarantined!!
“Situations”? Streamlined!!
Simply…one of a kind!!!
What’s in it for me? Is that all you see?
Future payback? A bottle of chablis?
Serving the poor, or only the marquis?
Selflessness permeates our family tree!
Stretch your heart, expand your diastole!
Unconditional love! Don’t you agree??
Peace and joy? Absolutely guaranteed!
Melancholic…malaise?
Dark, depressing…dog days?
Hurtful, harrowing…haze?
Pithy, pathetic…phase?
Muster…magnanimity!
Purge…pusillanimity!
Garner..gentle gracefulness!
Promote…prayer, peacefulness
“Agape” audaciousness!
Pondering… provides prudent predictions,
Conscientiousness…clips contradictions.
Deft discernment…drives dandy decisions.
Persistent prayer…powers peak performance,
Christ centeredness…creates careful conformance,
Lean into God!…The effects? ENORMOUS!!!
God bless,
Fr. Michael Sliney, LC
