The joy of being

I wondered despondently, "Why am I here?

On to eternity

Days fly so fast we're forever surprised!Not dismayed, for we're eager for more—More of upwarding, onwarding,Each day discovering treasures to store.
My friend plays a trumpet as if God put it in his hands.

Encompassing all

Prayer from a heart at peaceEnfolds the world in Love,Alights on tiny tiger moth,Compasses great behemoth—Encircling, returning,blessing the praying.

What can I do?

Clearing a path

Human knowledge/opinions are often like pebbles:Tossed carelessly, they sometimes weigh likegreat stones upon the heart.

Seeking God's grace

Father creator,Your glorious dawn unfolds.
Like him, desire, pray, seek,In his same words, with heart made meek:"Lord, what wilt thou have me.

Our Father's house

The children are strong and wise,Their vision is clear.

Breath of heaven

Did the lightning frighten,the thunder offend?
