Someone is Waiting...

 
Happy moments will come for
one who longs to hear your voice
words spoken remain in their heart

As one ages family is so important
but, the youth forgets the old
who sits alone within their walls

A call takes but a moment
your ‘hello’ to a lonely person lingers
slowing their world not to move so fast

Take a moment to call a family member
for your call will be so well received
change the communication with -

love in your heart for one who
waits to hear your voice

Take a Moment

 
I am here beside you
sing your own song
lay down people you
carried so long
let it be ~
rest

Own Given Strength...


 
A spring breeze touches my shoulder
as if to say, come walk with me
through a meadow of calm, not to
worry about what’s around the bend
 
 For all shall come to keep one safe
with faith that is carried deep within
knowing problems may arise today
but, conquered in tomorrow’s plan
 
 Peace in one’s heart feels thy grace
guiding one along the path of change
moments in time when concern of a
task that might overwhelm the body -
 
 An inspiration touches my cheek as He whispers,
‘ye shall tread on with one’s own given strength’…

Desire in a Stone

 
 
Shadows shorten the day
where color of green grass
shall be lost – rooted in stone
desire shan’t lose it green

Searching

 
 
 Questions upon ones lips
as the mind searches
the depth of anothers
soul for the truth as
one craves reality

Moonlight Portrait


 
God painted nature’s glory
bordered with palms and sand
aromas from the sea
captivating His masterpiece
of never ending love

With Faith...

Drawing: The Weeping Willow Tree

The evening is grim
with shadows that whisper
quietly amongst themselves,
secrets of the darkened night
hidden in the outline of a willow

Silent is the moment as
currents stir with movement,
buzzing along the curvatures of
the foliage lined path that longs
to live beyond their dark haven

Can’t light come to thee?
Can’t streams of bright beckoned
suddenly appear for the moment?
Can’t in an instant there be a promise?
A light to shine for tomorrow?

I shan’t be bewildered for it is
with faith my answer is - yes!

Rain

 
God’s spring replenished
life of brown winter -
Treasures of life coat
seeds reborn from heaven -
A season of rain provides

To Know Him


He spoke to me in a whisper
asked me to write His name
ever so gently spread the love
that brings Him to blessed fame

He spoke to me in a silent room
before my eyes fell to sleep
reminding me of His love
dries my tears whenever I weep

He spoke to me a voice in my mind,
as I remember with heart and soul
peaceful moments I share His grace
to forever love Him is my goal

A Day of Joy


Rainbow touched the sleepy valley below
Yellow streams within cast its glow
Bringing love to all who live there
Share their lives with someone who cares

Planting tulips with ruby red tips
As if the flower was touched by ones lips
Colorful blooms for all to enjoy
Brings happiness to every girl and boy

Evening comes slow but sure
Ends the day with love that is pure
As lovers wish upon a shooting star
Dreams of happiness will take them far

Knowing

 
 
Knowing deep in our hearts we
shall come around again in time
we salvage what truth is for we
shall draw upon it twice as much


Knowing deep in our minds
faith is the key to our sanity
we lean to those who bring us
safety with their heartfelt love

Knowing deep in our beings
a sanction is waiting to comfort
leading us to a light of fulfillment

and joy with others who know - Him

Disconnected


 
Dusty roads of a rural town
clogged airways, cell phone down
modern times talking to a box
his mind locks

Wash One Clean ~ For Tomorrow



Sensation penetrates the troubled mind
as if to sooth, to comfort the turmoil of
conflict that came before the darkened brow

Life of confidence, of one’s serenity is
shattered just for the moment at hand
a moment that is taken for granted in life

Ray of light shows a stumble is one’s road
bringing one to their knees just for an instant
not forever as the saddened mind would suggest

Life has its woes that brings one to shed tears
something tells the dark heart not to worry
God’s there to wash one clean for tomorrow
