God’s Ripples
I walked along the waterfront, Beside a peaceful pond, When from beneath my feet I picked A rock out of the sand. Without much thought I tossed the thing, Into the quiet mirror. It made a splash and ripples great Which slowed as they got nearer. I watched as impact…

A Strange Place
While walking through the morning fields, My heart is drawn to this strange place A place where all my worries yield Where troubles bend to stunning grace. While my concerns and fears remain, While not one single trouble leaves, I hear, “Child, nothing is in vain!” And there I sense Him in…

Fearful Neighbors
I am having a hard time getting used to them. Quite frankly, they are a bit annoying. I think I made the property look way too inviting. At first, they both took a careful glance at the house and left. Then they came back – for good. Our neighborhood hasn’t…

River
This life a river, running fast O’er my heart, a calloused stone. Troubles seem like waters, vast Rushing with the goal to hone. ~ Wake me up, let waters flow. Move me so that I give in. Use this river and do show Where I stray and where…
