"A candle in the night." We keep our candlesticks burning brightly. Shining in our windows for all the world to see. So people may come freely to the candlelight and believe in Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the light of the world. Shinning brightly in the world's darkest nights of depression and despair. When we need him most, Jesus Christ is always there. Patiently waiting to answer our prayers made in the midnight hours. Showering us with his blessings and mercy. Roxanne Dubarry www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 2 A Candle In The Wind. You have lived your life just like a single candle in the wind. Governing your life by your own selfish whims. Never stopping to believe in anybody other than yourself. Not really bothering to care about anybody else. Claiming to be a faithful follower of your LORD and Savior Jesus Christ. Without allowing for any of Christ's blessings into your life. Really you roam at will the center of your own universe.f What reception can you really come to expect from the only honest LORD and ruler of the universe? When you mentioned your name being written in the Lamb's Book of wasn't your name even mentioned there? You have lived your life like a tiny candle shining alone in the the rainy days came, only then did you manage to call upon Jesus Christ! Have you waited much too late to repent and forsake your sins? Has the Holy Spirit really entered into your heart's door? Instead of listening to his voice, you just ignored him! Roxanne Dubarry www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 3 A Candlestick In The Night. A candlestick shinning brightly in the night. Lighting up a passageway for travelers long ago. It was a much simpler world. No one worried about gender identity of little boys and girls. There were no marches for gay and lesbian rights. Was there anyone to take up the fight? The Bible was allowed to be read in public schools. Good hearted people followed the golden rule. A woman's place was in the home. It was not good for people to live alone. A man usually wanted to care for his family. Such a world does not exist today in reality. Black men and women were denied equality. They were not considered to be as important, naturally. People everywhere still desired to be free. God was the acknowledged creator of not only the universe, but also heaven and earth. Monkeys and apes were not considered to be related to humanity. Business was closed on are still closed for family days. Winter and Spring breaks were Christmas and Easter vacations. People believed in saluting the flag of our nation. Once there was a man living on the moon until he became a ans were green. Profanity was taboo and so were movies which are obscene. People lighted up their homes at night by candlesticks and later kerosene lamps. www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 4 There were no horseless carriages, or bicycles built for two. I was not alive in those bygone days, but again neither were any of you. Heaven and Hell were destinations, not states of mind or being. Freedom of religion did not mean freedom from religion. There were rulebooks to live by. Today even the fools are wise in their own eyes. The world was far from perfect even then. We have come a long way baby. Women have equal rights, and that is alright. Black people are no longer property. Native Americans are no longer considered savages. Catholics and Blacks can be elected presidents! You can be born Irish and Jewish and still, manage to find employment! Roxanne Dubarry www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 5 A Halo Above Me. An older man made a comment today, One look at him and I was not afraid. He belongs to the sheep fold of the Good Shepherd- Jesus Christ our Savior and Lord. He said, 'You have a halo above your head, ' and I replied, 'so do you.' He said, 'Thank you...' Then he went out the door, and I saw him no more. Above his head, I beheld a heavenly glow, I just wanted you all to know! His face showed serenity's peace throughout all eternity! Jesus Christ is watching over me, Twenty-four hours a day. Why should I fear or be afraid? Someday our earthly lives will come to an abrupt end. But throughout all eternity we will be forever friends! Love in Christ Jesus!

From dirty jokes to bedroom scenes. Society today is motivated by life styles- by unclean things. Especially in commericals, young women and men freely take off their cloths. Where is moralty in our society today? Speaking out against it- makes certain people afraid. Amoralty is a clear sign post- Jesus Christ is returning again- without much further delay! I am sick and tired of this sex driven society. It only serves to embrass me. People have no sense of shame. I know that Satan is to blame!

Roxanne Dubarry www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 8 A Violence Driven Society! Society today is a sexual and violent society. Frequently, it is based on actuality. Just watching even the local news channels- is enough to make the faint hearted afraid! Several television shows and movies too, are based on their world of fantasy. They aim to please modern day society. The more action packed the shows are; they receive the higher rating stars. Actors and actresses to pay them big bucks to disrobe in front of people such as me and you. Have they no shame? For sexual violence is today's acceptive normal world. I pity the young boys and girls! The Internet and cyber space have taken their rightful place. In the pollution of our minds. Is there any one who really cares? What would Jesus Christ really say, about our sexual violence world of today? Jesus Christ is coming back without much further delay. All of us must give him an account of our lives someday. This world's system is passing away fast. Only what is done for Christ will last. You can neither work, not earn your way to heaven. The price of admission has already been paved. Why not accept him into your life and heart today? Don't wait too long, he may be coming back soon some day. Just freely confess your sins, and make him your Lord and Savior right away! Roxanne Dubarry www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 9 Accepting God's Pardon. We are free to accept free pards for all of our sins. We have the ability to claim our freedom from eternal death. And yet we can choose to be rescued by the blood of the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. Our souls and spirits can be forever set are no longer slaves to sin, but we are sons and daughters of the highest and holy God, Jesus Christ! He is the way, the truth, and the light to everlasting life. Roxanne Dubarry www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 10 Alas! Poor Poetry I Knew Thee Well. Alas! Poor poetry I knew thee well. I can hear the ringing of the church bells calling the faithful to pray for their souls. Poetry, you have been around the world from the very beginning of time itself. Poetics would sing love songs to their lady lovers' so very fair. The mournful melodies would fill the air. The poets were usually beneath the desirable ladies. A mere look or even a glance could result in a sentence of death. Poetry was never intended for the faint of heart. The song birds would chirp their love songs, waiting for lady birds to answer them. Perhaps poets could continue being inspired by them? Poetry is another word for philosophy and psychology. Poetry is in the Bible too. I would start by reading the book of Psalms if I were you. Poetry used to consist of several pages, and since we have less time, has evolved into just a few short lines. Poetry used to have profound messages about the meaning of life. Today, all most poets have to be able to do is simply-type! Roxanne Dubarry www.PoemHunter.com - The World's Poetry Archive 11 All I Can Is I Am Sorry! I wonder why my original poem was deleted? Obviously, it failed to live up to the guidelines.
