1,2,3,4....

4 words that are timeless,
3 words to the heart,
2 words to a promise,
1 word led from the start.

Christ,
I promise,
To love you,
Rest of my life......

Till the day of promise

In my dreams, do I walk the valley,
Feet on the grass that parts my way,
Sky that shines ever so brightly,
On a hill sits a house of clay,
There always, waits someone surely,
Yet before the door, does my legs fail me,
Recalling that I am not yet done,
Opening my eyes, as I spoke softly,
Till that day comes, 
I shall await that promise.

Sleepless night

Through the window I looked,
Roads empty, quiet night,
Leaned back on my chair as I wrote,
Staring up, not a moon in sight,
Sleep does not stay, try as I might,
Wondering to myself, what verse to say,
But in the end, sleep returns to take me away.

Christ, my lifelong example

The footprints I step on,
The hand prints I marvel,
The life whom I follow,
In Christ, my lifelong example.

God-given Family

3 sounds to this word,
Deep in meaning, no small effort,
Felt, no matter how far,
Through the oceans and deserts,
Bigger, larger then just me,
Beautiful to behold, truly,
Have you not guessed?
3 sounds to this poetry,
The grace of God that has given us, FAMILY.

Christ my mason

Streets darkened,
Lamps in the distance,
Heart feeling burdened,
Memory, uncertain,
Yet one thing remains constant,
I am my Father's creation,
Hands to his chisel, molded by Christ, my mason.

Nature's beauty

Humbled by such beauty....
Butterflies in flight,
The woods, where insects feed,
A sunset's glorious light,
Walking bare feet along a beach,
Breathless, hearing horses stampede,
Such creation, a work of art,
Awed in the presence of my Father, deep in my heart.
