Best Gladness Poems

Walking upon silent parched paths,
under speechless scarlet skies.
Your name sits upon the tip of my tongue,
listening to the susurration of my heart.
Each vibration echoes tones of lament,
conflicted by the principles of time.

Adrift in the midst of gladness and sadness,
in a plot without a twist, lost...

Seasons come, seasons go,
even though we may wish it weren't so.
But each season has a time and place,
bringing its own beauty and grace.

The year begins with ice and snow!
But we stay warm by the fire's warm glow.
Then by the time daylight shows,
snow balls are flying,...

What have you to say to me?
About these things of woe
Help me to understand my plight
Comprehend, then let them go

Such bittersweet moments arise
Keeping me up at night
Charming thoughts of my father
Turns itself into awful fright

My father was a gentle man
Or so I thought most times
Until...

What great sorrows come with joy!
What great pains come with happiness!
For if sorrows came with sadness,
And if joys came with gladness;
What would we have to gain?

They carry me to You.
Streams of color I do pass through.

You are like no other.
Peace is mine, gladness of heart forever.
You sing your precious song over me Jesus
Thank You my Gracious and Beloved King,
My Giver of eternal life,...

I wish you'd be here
Right beside me all day
Fear not, I'm right here

I wish life would change
Then, it would be exciting
Time to rearrange

Splendid as the sun
You illuminate the moon
Day has just begun!

Wherever you go,
I'll go with you willingly
Dancing to and fro

Beauty js divine
Goodbye to the...

We're like good brothers, sisters dear
Around victorious partnership
Inside safe vessel called friendship.

Come lift me high, higher through your flowers,
Let my senses pour over your timeless leisure
Fresh night the wind chimes of nature heaps,
Softly and tenderly buds  start to unfurl ...
And russet fields parade their tassels
Beholding charms of your mid-March gladness;
Flickering down like embers’ fire, ...

Give all to cheer and fond delight,
Live happy daze to dull vain fear;
Ask laughter clear to take bold flights,
Dance with sure craze as joy appears;
Note the sublime moments of wit,
Embrace the wild in pun and grin;
See sanguine rhymes in simple fit,
Sense that deep child that...

There I go as I listen to what some close friends have to say.
Listen to their unheeded noise.
Instead of living in the freedom of the Spirit they often reside in the flesh.
I so enjoy when they tear into my resolve of my divine gladness of...

The songbirds are singing
The woods with music ringing
the doggies sleep neath the moon.
The storm clouds gather, to bring showery weather.
The lilies burst forth in bloom.
Put a smile on your face, and help win the race;
Let your kindness be unfurled.
God is alive, there is no doubt,
All...
