ANNIVERSARY

Mourn not the passing of another year;Rather rejoice in progress made,Knowledge acquired and applied,Some healing done.

COURAGE

I prayed one day:Courage—God, give me courage!A voice came clear:Get understanding, child,And you will have courage.

A CHRISTMAS MESSAGE FOR ALL

Alert and watchful in the quietOf the star-filled winter night,Shepherds kept a tender vigil.

LO! IT IS CHRISTMAS

Do we today,As long ago,Fill up the inn,Our consciousness,With fretted careAnd worldly din,So when Christ knocksThe keeper calls,,"No room within"?

BETHLEHEM AND BOW

Across the centuries they meet,though half a world apart,their sacred stories cradled deepin each receptive heart.

CHRISTLIKE VISION

I was spending my days in confusion,In hurry, in worry, in fright,A slave with my tasks never ending,A slave with no respite in sight,

THE ANSWER

Though the answer tarries, coming,Though the way seems rugged, long,Love will lead to Truth's clear dawning;Love will make the heart a song.

MY PRAYER

Grant, Father-Mother God, that I may smileWhen to some fearful thoughtThat smile brings courage,Hope.
