A prayer for one far-off

PAUL OSBORNE WILLIAMS

This is not releasing, flinging out,a human thought, a message of my love,whirling over the earth's curve,or through its crust and magma,nor launching out a wishto the vagaries of wind,fragilities of hope,gestures of human ritual.

God is real

Michael Latson

The silent stars in boundless space,The wonder of a baby's face;The changing seasons, one by one,The wind, the rain, the shining sun;A blooming flower, a flying bird,A friendly smile, a kindly word—The things we touch and see and feelAll go to prove that God is real!And being real, He's present, too,And always watching over you!
