Topic: FERHOODLE (confuse or mix-up) (03/03/16)
Tis such a ruckus this political season,
Candidates without a rhyme or reason.
It’s hard to tell one from the other,
What lies they tell, oh brother!

The Donald with his potty mouth,
Hillary wins big in the south.
Bernie’s socialistic ways,
Rubio stutters less these days.

Then there’s the guy who goes by Cruz,
To Hillary he will surely lose.
Kasich seems a very nice fellow,
His calming ways make him so mellow.

Who’s to know just how to choose?
Who’s to win and who’s to lose?
I pray to God for His direction,
Which deserves my own affection?

I look into my own deep soul,
To picture each one in the roll,
As leader of this God’s blessed land,
I see the ones I cannot stand.

Still, I sift through who is left,
The choices leave me quite bereft,
It all comes down to who to trust,
Who loves the Lord? Who is unjust?

I walk into the voter’s booth,
Searching deep down for the truth,
Suddenly, I know which one,
God speaks to me; His will is done.

This poem was well timed. We are in the heat of the political season. I pray that God will direct my path when I vote.

Dear Lynn,

I'm so happy to see your entry, I somehow missed it last week. But, having read it now, I can see why it earned an EC!
Congratulations my sweet friend!

Blessings to you~

Congratulations on your EC. I certainly am praying God will intercede and help people choose the right candidate, but they all seem kind of grim selections. I'm so thrilled to see your name on the challenges again. I've really missed you these past few months. I sent you an email a bit ago and when I didn't hear back, I worried and prayed. Now I'm doing my Happy Dance for you! Hugs.

It's political ferhoodle for sure and you captured it well with your prose.

It is so good to see you in the Challenge again dear Lynn.
