Livin’ Right and Lovin’ Life

Livin' Right and Lovin' Life

Bad things happen to good people all the time.
It seems such a crime.
A crime of the heart
when a life is torn apart.
When a negative hits you in the face
put the devil in his place.
Where God is the devil cannot be.
Just tell him “Satan get away from me.”
Of a Christian, Satan is afraid.
Please rain on his parade.
A life full of the Spirit
believe me, he does fear it.
He’ll do the best he can
to break the spirit of a woman or man.
Try as he may, try as he might
he is nothing in God’s sight.
No matter what the strife
I’m livin’ right and lovin’ life.

About the Poet
I grew up in rural North Carolina, married for 38 years to my best friend and soulmate, Allen, who retired almost 17 years ago from the Air Force after 24 years of service to our beloved America. We have a daughter, Ashley ( and son-in-law, Kris) and, a son, John, and, our two beautiful grand daughters, Amelia and Haley, and Isaac, our only grandson, all blessings from God. We have four cats; Mr. Peabody, Missy, aka Middle Kitty and Tabby, aka Little Kitty, and Gracie. I've seen a lot of hard times and God has always been here for me to see me through them. I am a vessel God can use to help others in need. If I could be described in one word, it would be that I am an encourager.
