Poems and a Mini Story


 Poems and a Mini Story
Pretty posy



Jungle Gym



Life comes to meet us at the bars

which seem to reach up to the stars

And like a child, we look up high;

count metal bars and strips of sky

Anxiety holds us in its grip:

we're scared to fall, to stumble, slip

Then father points to lowest bar;

says, don't look up; start where you are

And  so in life, it is the best

to trust in God, to take one step


Pomegranate in our garden



A new name


Slowing Down



We're slowing down

enough today

to come to the  park

so the girls can play:

up and down, and

round and round;

speeding up,

yet slowing down




A Short, yet Powerful Story



This is a very short story. A story of countless lives cut short: Sudden. Tragic. Violent.

And, it is a story about the God-Man who allowed His own life to be cut short; so that even in our most desperate times there may be hope. And life eternal.

Yet...




Evil threatens

to overwhelm:

It threatens to 

overwhelm

It troubles our

vision, and 

invites doubt

It threatens

to overwhelm


Yet...

evil can have no victory,

Thou art ever at the helm

And though it tries to rule with fear,

and paralize with fright,

We are always loved within Thy arms

tucked up within Thy might

The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story

  The Searching: A Free Inspirational Story Dear Readers, Here is a gift from me to you. "The Searching" is a story which has been puttering around in my heart for awhile. It nearly didn't get written though, as I was a bit unsure as to whether I could get it to work. But God is faithful, and He gave me both the inspiration and the words. There were a few times when I nearly gave up, but now, I'm so glad that I didn't. It's one of my favourites, and I hope that you enjoy it too.  *** Previous cover The Searching: A Novella *** By Alison Lawrence *** Copyright Copyright owner: Alison Lawrence. 2024 All rights reserved.

The Conversation. A Free Short Story

  The Conversation  Gavin was so absorbed in his book, that he barely noticed that the train had stopped at a station. "Mind if I sit here?" He looked up. A young woman with friendly freckles across her nose and wide brown eyes stood in the aisle. He nodded, then smiled faintly and she quickly stowed her large backpack. "I'm Sybil." The young woman offered. "Thanks." "No problem. Travelling to Barton?"  "Nope. It's Dunmore I'm headed for. You?" "Same." Gavin was cautious. He wasn't sure he felt like a chatty companion. He'd been looking forward to finishing his book. It had hooked him from the first chapter. But thankfully, Sybil didn't bubble on. She just smiled before taking her own book out.  Gavin went back to his reading, not without noticing that it was a Bible that Sybil had opened. Unusual.   Sybil glanced towards him. She liked to study people, and would often strike up a conversation in the ho...

Poems, Photos, and a Glimpse of my Garden.

  Poems, Photos and a Glimpse of my Garden Rest of soul and peace of mind are hard for you  and me to find: Until we rest our  hearts in God; strength will falter, days grow hard A new day to pray, to love and give, A new day to serve, to work and praise, A new day to soak in Your precious peace I wish I could go back to all the happy days: to hold on to those moments, and sing a song of praise. Love and kindness I would bring, and serve the Lord much more. I truly wish it could be done through an old and hidden door. But since I cannot go back, to those sweet and bygone days, I'll give to Jesus all my heart so He can change my un-nice ways *** Copyright: pencil in His Hand *** St John's creeper New growth.
