Lady Jane

Scorn has broken my heart 

and has left me helpless; 

I looked for sympathy, 

but there was none, 

for comforters, 

but I found none.

Sour Times

There will be terrible times in the last days. 

People will be lovers of themselves, 

lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, 

disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, 

without love, unforgiving, slanderous, 

without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good,

treacherous, rash, conceited,
lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God
having a form of godliness but denying its power.
Have nothing to do with such people.

~ 2 Timothy 3

Light A Light

My days have passed,
my plans are shattered.
Yet the desires of my heart
turn night into day;
in the face of the darkness
light is near.

Do not give dogs what is sacred; 

do not cast your pearls before swine. 

If you do, 

they may trample them under their feet, 

and turn and tear you to pieces.
