Silence Please
I walked into the woods today, God’s will and heart to find. I poured my worries on the way. Searched Him for rest of mind. ~ As quiet came and stillness neared, My racing thoughts He eased. My doubting soul and all I feared Were ushered into peace. ~…

Solitude
In solitude and lonely hour, In friendless night and feeble power, In desperate fight and weakness stark, You’re in the midst of all my dark. In tears that cloud my eyes to see, In answers that eluded me, In helplessness and on my knees, You are the God who cares…

Fearless Knights
(To my three Sons) Long ago, when you were small, All little boys, and not so tall, I held you in my arms real tight, While kissing rosy cheeks goodnight. We spun old tales of kings and knights Of castles, dragons, swords, and fights. I ask you to grow bold…

Courageous Waiting
I wait for plane, and bus, and train, I wait in sunshine, snow, and rain. I wait for kids and husband, too. Sometimes until my face turns blue. I wait in grocery stores a lot. I wait for perfect parking spots. Sometimes I wait with patient smiles While people push…

The Heart of Christmas
The heart of Christmas can’t be found In strings of lights on trees. It doesn’t beat in Christmas sounds. With eyes it can’t be seen. The heart of Christmas you can’t buy In store, or shop, or mall. In sleigh with reindeer it can’t fly, Nor through your chimney fall.…

A Rainy Day
Reasons are many to like the day When it’s dreary and cold and rainy and grey. When rain pounds, o so loud and clear, On the window, the roof, and into my ear, When the wind makes noise and rain paints the road, When the trees are bend and the…

By Streams of Water
Today I left familiar paths And walked down by the lake. There sat in silence on a bench. Watched wind cold waters break. As waves crashed ruthless on the beach, My eyes drifted along. I noticed there a quiet tree. Her trunk was bent, but strong. The earth around her…
