MOVING HEARTS THROUGH THE ART OF POETRY✨ By Vici Francoies

By Vici Francoies 

The world is spinning, it seems out of control.

Few seem to care for their very soul!

People are filled with such anger and hate,

They don’t stop to think about their ending fate.

As in times of Joshua marching around Jericho’s wall,

Let’s show our faith in the Lord, and keep standing tall!

Make sure that your armor is on and it’s straight.

Be ready to meet Jesus at the pearly gate!

Only prayer can bring the enemy’s walls to the ground,

So keep praying to God where true strength is found!

Fear and hate are being felt in all places!

You can see it in everyone’s faces.

For all who feel Satan’s arrows coming their way,

I pray God protects you with His grace every day.

To fight these arrows the enemy slings,

Praise God for the blessings that He brings!

This will break the enemy’s grin,

Giving you a clear path to win!

I was doing so well in the eyes of the world...

At least it seemed that way right from the start.

That was before things changed in a whirl,

That’s when I gave Jesus my heart!

Toxic mold is what happened to me, That’s what changed it all. 

That’s what took me to my knees 

And I finally answered His call.

The road has been tough, I have to admit…

It’s hard to see through the long tunnel. 

But I’m so very happy that I never quit! He keeps me going the right way just like a funnel.

We followed His call and moved from the mainland

To the beautiful Hawaiian beaches,

He called us here to share His Love And give just what He teaches.

When Covid hit it made it so hard to stay fit, 

Feeding my body, mind & soul.

I’ve posted my thoughts of how I get through 

And it helps me to feel whole.

It’s been more five years 

Since mold completely changed my life, 

But I’m doing so much better now 

That His love is worth more than gold in this life.

Just like with Job when he lost everything, 

God gave him back his desire.

God’s gift is worth far more than gold, for His gift saves us from the lake of fire!

Have you ever looked at something and only one word comes to mind? 

It’s WOW for me, though another word others may find.

Have you ever thought about finally getting home?

Have you thought about the Glory of God on His throne?

I can’t help but wonder, when I get home at last,

Will my questions all be answered, or will my words pour out too fast?

Will I instantly know that time has stood still?

That time no longer matters and it no longer will?

There will be no more chatter running in my head...

I can quiet my mind as I sit peacefully and be fed.

When I think of the gift God gave me and how,

It changed everything. All I can say is WOW!

I wake up today with the same list of chores!

I feel like I’m stuck in revolving doors!

Let me not see my vision but Yours.

To see Your will for me and not all the chores.

Your vision is higher and wider than mine.

Help me to become what You see, and to always be kind.

By Vici Francoies

I know I was born here…

Just like you were, too.

I want you to know,

I’m just passing through.

I’m following Jesus,

I’m one of the few.

I do this each day,

Keeping Heaven in view.

How about you?

Are you being true?

Are you living for this world?

Or are you passing through?

By Vici Francoies

Always remember and never forget,

When we help others our own needs are met.

Jesus came not to be served but to serve,

It seems we all want much more than we deserve.

We forget that He came and died on that cross,

To forgive us our sins so we won’t be lost.

He asked us one thing---one thing to do!

Share His love with others until He comes for you.

We become servants of Christ when we accept His grace, 

Thankful for Heaven and His mercy we embrace.

His Word plainly tells us no matter what we face.

To trust in His guidance and keep with His pace.

Too often we rush into what we think is right,

Without waiting on You and trusting that Your timing is right. 

It's not what I want or how I feel when I see hate everywhere.

I’m Jesus' servant, and through it all, It's His love that I must share.

By Vici Francoies

Can you imagine how it will be on that day when Jesus calls us home?

Imagine the day we see God sitting on His throne!

From the pearly white gates down the streets of liquid gold, 

leading us to the emerald rainbow, seeing all that’s foretold!

Imagine our new life with no pain or sorrow, 

with never a worry about tomorrow.

Imagine the things God has for us to behold! 

From the huge pearly gates to the streets of gold!

It will be so much more than we can foresee, 

when Jesus takes us home--- you and me!

Visiting family and friends as we rejoice in Heaven,

Singing praises to God forever for all we’ve been given!

Imagine no worry of this good time ever ending, 

For He has given us all a new beginning!

By Vici Francoies

I need a Savior, this is true. 

And only Jesus will ever do.

I need a healer from the inside out.

My physician is Jesus without a doubt!

I need protection from the enemy’s snares

Jesus is my protecter, He always cares.

I need a defender in my wars each day

My defender is Jesus, there is no safer way.

I need a provider for my daily needs.

Jesus will provide if we only ask Him please.

I need to be rescued from this world of crime.

I know Jesus will save me, just in the nick of time.

By Vici Francoies

I loved you way back then & I still love you now. 

But your love has now grown so cold somehow. 

When I asked God, “Why? I thought we would be friends when we were old?”

He said because “the love of many will grow cold” 

It’s true the road is narrow and found only by those who look.

The road map is found only in His Holy Book.

God tells us He is the same yesterday, today and forever!

Don’t take the wide road thinking you are being so clever.

We have to follow His Holy Book with all of our heart, mind & soul.

Only then, in this glittering world, will that narrow road start to show. 

By Vici Francoies 

I know that you judge me, I know that it’s true! 

It's in what you say and in what you do.

Let me tell you what I see and I ask if you see it too?

Search in your heart and see if it’s true.

Do you feel judged like I do at times, 

When others seem distant or hard to find?

When our help comes from our neighbors and church, 

When family and friends back away...that’s when it hurts!

The Bible, God‘s Word, tells us that this will be so! 

For it’s a battle for our souls all the way to heaven you know!

When the devil comes to steal, kill and destroy our plans,

Remember to wear your Armor and that you’re in His hands!

When you're attacked with guilt & with shame…

Always remember who’s really to blame!

When you trusted in Jesus that by Him your sins are forgiven,

He commanded we forgive others the same...70×7!

That doesn’t mean forgive others alone! 

That includes forgiving ourselves as He has done from His throne!

I want to be judged Innocent by the only One who matters!

Following the judgment of others will only leave your life shattered.

We each have to walk through the door to get home,

To walk through the door to that Heavenly Throne!

It’s not our call, the path that this takes,

We are saved by His grace and the call that He makes.

Our job is to trust Him and to follow His lead, 

We might be the only Bible some people read.

We are secure in our Heavenly home.

Now let’s help others so they aren’t alone.

As our bodies grow weaker and we grow in years.

We can still give hope to others who are lost in their fears.

By Vici Francoies

Today on the news they spread fear and dread,

They are trying to stifle our right to be fed.

When the saints are told that it’s illegal to sing,

It’s time for us to raise our voices to the King!

“I will sing unto the Lord, for this I can give, 

I will declare His song so others can live.”

Oh sing a new song to our Lord today,

Sing as you kneel and pray.

Sing to the God of creation,

Make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

By Vici Francoies

Dear Jesus, as I wake up today,

Before I open my eyes I just want to say.

Thank you for waking me with thoughts of You!

And for going with me in all that I do.

As I go through my day and cross other's paths,

Let me remember to share with them something that will last.

Help me to remember that I’ve been there too.

What they are going through, I’ve been in their shoes.

From having plenty too barely enough,

In easy times & when times are tough.

From planning and cooking menus for all who came.

To being the one standing in food lines in shame.

I was a leader who hired and fired.

Now, in my age, I am forced to retire!

I’ve been treated with respect and also despised,

That is when I finally realized.

I’m not going through anything new,

Everything I go through, You’ve been there too!

No matter what comes in the future I pray,

Please keep my eyes on Heaven & not worry about today.

For I know the road is narrow and the Devil is tricky,

And I know You are Holy & Very Picky.

I want to hear Well Done child Well Done, 

Come get your reward for a job Well Done.

By Vici Francoies

Dear Heavenly Father, as I wake up with You, 

I cry out for Your help, Lord, I have so much to do!

I can't seem to slow the thoughts swirling in my head,

I need Your sweet guidance as I get out of my bed.

Please give me Your strength Lord, as I prepare for today. 

Even though my own doubts, Lord, often get in the way.

I know with Your help Lord that I can get through,

This long list of things that I feel I must do.

Please fill my thoughts Lord, & keep control of my mind,

So I can leave all this worry behind.

Your Word tells me I have one thing to do. 

Face one day at a time,  & keep my eyes on you.

Thank you Jesus  for your saving grace!

Please stay with me while I’m in this place.

Yes, I’m looking forward to the future, its true!

For I'm looking forward to being with you!

NOTHING ELSE WILL DO…

OH I NEED YOU!!!

By Vici Francoies

Dear Jesus, where do I start!

You know I love You with all my heart. 

When I was still lost in sin. 

You opened up & you let me in. 

There is no possible way, 

That this debt I can ever repay. 

Help me to always follow through,

with what You've called me to do!

Make me stronger every day. 

So I can stand firm in every way!

I walk in faith in what I do,

Until at last I can be with you! 

As my prayers go up, Your blessings come down, 

They come down flowing all around.

So I pray every day,

For there is no other way! 

By Vici Francoies

One day at a time Lord, I'm leaning on You

I'm leaning on You Lord to see me through

You stand by me, Lord, Your love is so true.

I can trust You, Lord, in everything I go through.

Help me see what You see, Lord.  Help me do what You do.

Help me always stay close Lord,

 Help me always be true.

By Vici Francoies

Where are You at my Lord

I can’t feel You.

I need You now Lord, I appeal to You.

I’ve seen death today,

I’ve seen despair. 

Please come near Lord, this is my prayer!

Your help is on the way, I will not fear.

I feel You now, my Lord, You are so near!

You're with me now, my Lord &

You’ve always been.

Ever since You  saved me from my life of sin.

You’re with me now, & You won’t leave 

As long as I continue to believe.

By Vici Francoies

Good night, Jesus, thanks for today.

Before I close my eyes, I just want to say,

As I rest,  giving all my cares to You, 

while I sleep, please fill my soul anew.

Cleanse my mind of today,

make me Yours in every way.

As I sleep in your protection,

Please fill my dreams with Your directions.

Fill me deep with Your sweet song, 

and help me keep my armor strong! 

As I sleep, please guide my way.

In Jesus name I humbly pray.

May 2021

Here I am awake in the middle of the night,

I can’t sleep and it’s not even light.

I try to pray and keep my eyes closed,

my mind starts to spin and off it goes!

I start thinking of the things that need my attention, 

inside of my brain is a thought convention!

As the clock slowly ticks and the night turns to day,

I pray my thoughts turn to action as I stay focused and pray!
