The morning gullShrieks from the sky.

SURVIVAL

What more dynamic than the cry,"Come forth"?

COMPANIONSHIP

We are not alone,Despite the boast of mortal sense.

GRATITUDE

Dulcie Geddes

In moments when I seem to beThe victim of despondencyOr pain or agonizing fear, Bereft of all I hold most dear,Without a gleam of inward lightTo dissipate the gloom of night;If then I give my gratitudeFor all the blessings, all the goodWhich I inherit as God's child,My heart with joy will be so filledThat evil thoughts will pass away,As darkness is dispelled by day.

DEAR GOD

Kept safe by Love's designFrom harm of every kind,Holding in fond embraceThe promise of full bloom,The bud appears.
