Peace With God
Peace, a much sought after quality,
Earnestly we seek it,
Always desiring it,
Can't seem to find it,
Elusive peace.
With God alone is true peace possible,
In Him there is perfect peace,
Total peace, perfect peace,
Heart soothing peace.
God is peace!
Only in Him will you find it,
Desire of Him brings it.
Beauty
Beauty surrounds me,
Everywhere I look,
All is grace,
Utter beauty,
Total awe,
You are an awesome God!
Hektor
Hektor is my big white dog,
Everywhere he follows me,
Knows my moods, senses my needs,
Totally devoted,
Only a dog,
Rare, priceless friend
Samson
Samson is silly,
Always questing,
Mischievous in motion,
Sniffing and digging,
Often a nuisance,
Nonetheless loved.
Summer
Summer is here in all it's blazing heat,
Ultraviolet rays burn the flesh,
Mornings are the cool refreshing times,
Murderous heat quickly follows,
Everywhere dry and parched,
Ravenous for relief.
Grace
Grace amazes me,
Radical grace,
Abounding grace,
Captivating grace,
Everywhere grace.
Morning
Morning has broken,
Opalescent sky,
Radiant the sun,
Night has passed
Ignescent rays stream forth,
Nearby birds sing joyfully,
God is present, God is good!
Bella's New Shoes
Bella got new shoes today!
Earthbound she was not.
Leaping into the air,
Lost her new shoes!
After we put them on again,
Settled in them she was.
New doggie shoes!
Efficient for walking.
Wayfaring shoes.
Shoes for Miss Bella,
High lifting feet,
Onward she goes,
Elevated steps,
Sassy Miss Bella.
WORK
Work calls to me.
Obligation beckons.
Resistance is futile.
Knowing this, I go.
STORM
Storm rolls in,
Thunder booms and roars,
Onstage the lighting dances,
Rain pours down in violent sheets,
Morning breaks fresh and clean.
TIRED FEET
Tired, tired feet I have,
itching to be free of heavy boots.
Red hot feet, tired feet.
Ecstatic at the thought of freedom.
Feet, sore, tired, aching feet.
Electrified feet, yearning for relief.
Eager for air.
Tired aching feet.
NEW GOLF CLUBS
New golf clubs,
excited husband,
waiting, waiting, to take them out.
Golf clubs shiny and new,
outrageously priced in my opinion.
Loving gift bestowed on husband.
For his enjoyment and delight.
Clubs to replace those
lost to a thief
unknown to us
but God knows them.
So we leave it in His hands.
TREE SONG
Tree branches stirring in the wind,
rustling leaves, softly singing,
enthralling music to ears that hear.
Eldritch song, creation crying out.
Song of the trees,
oft unheard by those with stopped ears,
nature singing to her Creator.
"God is worthy of praise! "
