Soapbox Love 101

      Soapbox Love 101

When a man truly loves, it is with his heart & soul.

When a woman loves, to be desirable is her goal.

It never means she loves less than a man.

The focus is different. That’s part of the plan.

The focus can change if the results aren’t right.

How the man responds may lead to a fight.

The man searches for the perfect mate.

His ideas of a mate may be out of date.

Women have always wanted to be desired.

Their efforts to be so can make one tired.

Some things seem to be true to both.

Like trust, faithfulness, & a devotional oath

Still, there is this game that must be played.

Like a girl being coy till the boy is enraged.

Or, the boy insisting he must ‘play the field’.

That can cause wounds that are slow to heal.

Many, many factors come into play.

These factors may change from day to day.

This all makes it hard to find that ‘soul mate.’

The highest rating a mate could ever rate.

When it happens all ‘games’ are put aside.

They are into each other with all love & pride.

They make for themselves a heaven on earth.

Every effort spent shows what it is worth.

No greater love can one show another.

Except when Christ is included as their brother.

Finding A ‘Helpmate’

 

Finding A ‘Helpmate’

Life goes on and so do we.

Where we go no one can see.

Except for God, who sees all.

Be we big or be we small.

Have you wondered now & then?

With billions of women and men,

why it’s so hard to find a mate?

Often times hard to get a date.

Are things this way for a reason?

A ‘greater power’ knows the season.

He knows what will work & what won’t.

You say ‘I do’ and then you don’t.

He knows the beginning from the end.

Give Him a chance and let Him in.

He will find you the ‘perfect mate’.

Give Him a chance before it’s too late.

If He is part of life with your ‘helpmate’,

no greater love will you both partake.

The ways of the world are quite deceiving.

No way to ensure you are receiving

the greatest love you can attain.

But, with God, love will remain.

Life with a ‘helpmate’  is heaven on earth.

Then you will know what love is worth.

Especially agape love from God above.

Your sins forgiven is the greatest love.——R. W. Johnson—–(2013)

 

 

 

Hard, Hard Times

 

      Hard, Hard Times

A time is coming when scarcity of food will be common.

The freedom of religion will be uncommon.

Men will pray for their very souls.

To stay alive will be your major goal.

 

 

We need the warriors of the light.

To come and fight with all their might.

We must stand against oppression.

We must defeat their control obsessions.

The time has come to say what’s right.

To fight for the truth with all of  our might.

 

A time is coming when you’re totally  controlled

You can’t buy or sell if you don’t fit the mold.

You will be hunted down like a common dog.

If not killed, then jailed, like a common hog.

 

We need the warriors of light.

To come and fight with all their might.

We must stand against oppression.

We must defeat their control obsessions.

The time has come to say what’s right.

To fight for the truth with all of our might.

 

Our bread and water will be sure.

We have the truth which is the cure.

Our faith must always remain strong.

Soon we will all sing the same song.

 

We need the warriors of the light.

To come and fight with all their might.

We must stand against the oppression.

We must defeat their control obsessions.

The time has come to say what’s right.

To fight for truth with all our might.———–R. W. Johnson—-(2012)

 

 

Sweet Surrender

 

          Sweet Surrender

Have you often come to God to  say.

Forgive my sins. I will obey.

Yet, as you go out into the city.

You sin again. It’s such a pity.

You cannot go on doing this over and over.

Something is missing . Not a 4 leafed clover.

What you need is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.

Complete surrender in all areas will cure it.

The Holy Spirit will convict you of sin.

Then give you the strength to overcome from within.

Everything you see, do, and say

will be changed in every way.

A new creature you will become.

One who is only focused on the Holy One.

Religious things will become a pleasure.

Worldly things will have lost their flavor.

It happens as fast as you can surrender.

Trust in God with every thought and member.

You will come to reflect Christ in every way.

People will see the change is here to stay.

You’ll love your neighbor as yourself.

Be they poor or loaded with wealth.

God will guide your every move.

Nothing the Holy Spirit will not include.

God will work miracles through you.

God will control all but, your no fool.

You’re a son or daughter of God.

Eternal life for surrender is not odd.

Are you up to this herculean task?

All you need do is ask.—————————-R. W. Johnson—-(2012)

 

 

Saved By The Rain

 

      Saved By The Rain

I came home & there waiting for me

was a note sitting there for me to see.

it said you were sorry for all that you did.

You must leave to keep your face hid.

In hurting me you have hurt yourself.

All for the love of someone else.

Now, he to, has gone from you.

You say there is nothing else you can do.

 

If it wasn’t for the rain,

it would be more than I could bear.

I’ll never see you again.

The rain is running down my hair.

It is washing away the pain.

Lightning flashes—-Are  you standing there?

But, I know it’s all in vain.

My life’s not going anywhere.

 

The days and weeks drag by. They will not flee.

There must be a way to set you free.

But, you’re still there within my heart.

It seems nothing can tear us apart.

I wonder if you are suffering too?

There must be something I can do.

But, nothing comes to ease the pain.

Except for long walks in the rain.

 

If it wasn’t for the rain,

it would be more than I can bear.

I’ll never see you again.

The rain is running down my hair.

It is washing away the pain.

Lightning flashes—-Are you standing there?

But, I know it’s all in vain.

My life’s not going anywhere.

 

The weeks drag on into months.

The rain is gone & so am I , I grunt.

Not a word , call, or  sign from  you.

I am at a total loss as to what to do.

I grab my hat and head out for a walk.

I just need someone so I can talk

Then, suddenly,—- I bump into you.

Loving arms around me & around you.

Getting Ready For The ‘End Time’ Crisis

Getting Ready For The ‘End Time’ Crisis

I have noticed, often,  through the years,

I have cried myself to sleep with tears.

Not always for the same reason.

Sometimes I was only grieving.

Other times it was an emotional thing.

A tragic breakup after a brief fling.

But, now all that has changed.

My life has now been rearranged.

I finally met my Lord and Savior.

He has led me all the way here.

To the ‘new birth’ & a new life in Him.

A life full of joy without any sin.

If I should sin, I ask to be forgiven.

He is just to do so. I go on with Him.

He has led me to a like minded girl.

She’s been a ‘helpmate.’ Oh, what a thrill.

We walk hand and hand with Christ.

Our lives are so much more than nice.

The Lord has led us in the scripture.

To study final events,. We get the picture.

A terrible crisis will affect the earth.

A great calamity, for what it is worth.

Those not ready will be ‘shaken’ out.

They won’t know what it is all about.

Those who stand firm will be sealed.

They will know God’s word is real.

They will be taken through to the end.

God will protect them. They are His kin.

Others must be told to get prepared.

So when it comes they are aware.

They too can stand firm until the end.

They will have Jesus, who is our friend.——R. W. Johnson—–(2013)

 

 

 

The Falcon

 

The Falcon

The falcon flies

upward toward the sun.

The falcon dives

toward the rodent on the run.

 

His graceful wings

spread to reflect the sun.

The wind sings

as he swoops and dives for fun.

 

The falcon knows

as he’s soaring through the air.

Wherever he goes

he must avoid the snare.

 

To be free.

To fly on wings up high.

Able to see

forever in a cloudless sky.

 

This is all

a falcon lives to do.

Should he fall,

his earthly life is through.—————-R. W. Johnson—–(2002)

Saved By An Accident

      Saved By An Accident

We were walking, my girl & I.

Her sweet name is Velvet Skye.

Prettiest thing you would ever see.

Always wants to be with me.

 

We walked on along the shore.

Walked till we couldn’t walk anymore.

A steep cliff was in our path.

So we put down our picnic mat.

 

We prepared to eat our lunch.

Then we heard an awful crunch.

A car shot out over the cliff.

It landed in the ocean mist.

 

Shocked, we ran to try and help.

The water was cold with lots of kelp.

I dove down & pulled out a woman.

Surfaced & asked if she could swim.

 

She nodded yes & headed to shore.

I dove back down to check for more.

I found her purse and that was all

She had  reached shore & started to bawl.

 

We gave her a blanket to wrap up in.

She looked like she was all done in.

Her boyfriend & her had just split up.

She was having some pain in her gut.

 

She was speeding because she was angry.

.Air brakes would have came in handy.

She came into the curve too fast.

She knew she was going to crash.

 

She prayed to a God she barely knew.

Next she knew I was there too.

Helping her to get out of the car.

Bringing her up & to where we are.

 

I first thought you were an angel.

I don’t know how much to tell.

But, my life is changed somehow.

God is the only answer now.

 

Her testimony brought tears to our eyes.

Then my girl and I both realized.

We needed God in our life too.

You pray for us & we’ll pray for you.

 

————–O——————

 

Now we all are best of friends.

As our life in Christ really begins.

We all go to the same church.

It’s the greatest church on earth.

 

Because Jesus is there with us.

We thank Him for our near  brush

with death that day at the ocean.

It put our religious life in motion.————-R. W. Johnson—–(2013)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ode To The Golden Dolphin

 

Ode To The Golden Dolphin

Late at night when most souls sleep

there is a meeting of the minds.

What they share is for them to keep.

They keep close track of their time.

 

But, The Dolphin never gave man

Insight to what he has in mind.

His thoughts are far above man.

His deeds are always kind.

 

The Dirty Old Men do their job.

They pull certain men together.

Some may find their job odd.

They are laymen of a feather.

 

So, please believe in The Brotherhood.

As it moves slowly through time.

Only the elite of men who stood

can reside there all the time.

 

Ask the Imperial Wizard.

He will guide you into light.

His gift is brilliance, a blizzard

of intellectual thoughts of right.

 

Dolphinia is a land of dolphins.

A place of eternal light.

The home of The Golden Dolphin.

The one who makes all things right.

 

Come with me to a wonderful  land.

A land of peace and dolphins.

A land with beaches of sand.

A place with no liberal men.

 

Leave behind all the wars, hate,

baby killers, and liberal waste.

Live a life of luxury and make

peace with your soul with haste.—————R. W. Johnson—-(2012)

Dream Lovers

      Dream Lovers

I saw the thing coming out of the sky.

It had two sets of wings & 3 big eyes.

It was the size of a Mini Cooper.

I didn’t have that big of a scooper.

 

It flew in a circle then it came down.

It’s cheeks were rosy. It looked like a clown.

“Take me to your girlfriend” it squeaked out.

In a voice so low I told it to shout.

 

“What do you want with her?” I yelled.

“She looks like the type that should be held.”

“Not by you, you horror movie reject.”

“Hey, I came a long way. Show some respect.”

 

“What are you?”, I curiously asked.

“A Cupid under a curse.” it answered at last.

“Where do you come from?” I asked again.

“A place where lovers always win.”

 

I yelled out “Oh no you don’t.”

“Not with my girl you won’t.”

“She’s not breaking that curse for you..”

“If she does then we are threw.”

 

“Let’s ask her” he said with a smile.

“Looks like I’m gonna be here awhile.”

“She’ll be scared of a freak like you.’

“Not after what I’m gonna do.”

 

“What exactly do you have in mind?”

“Treat her right then she will be mine.”

“I’m gonna treat her like a lady.”

“She’ll fall for me & I don’t mean maybe.”

 

I lunged for him and I fell out of bed.

I was dizzy for a while. I landed on my head.

Then I realized it was all a dream.

I got dressed and drove like a fiend.

 

Straight to my girlfriends place.

I rushed to her door like it was a race.

I hugged her like I never have before.

I said she was all I wanted and nothing more.

 

She was a lady & I would treat her like one.

Always, when serious or having fun.

She said ”What’s come over you?”

“I realize that I love you. Isn’t that cool?”
