I feel the wind brush cross my cheeks
Midst all the sounds that nature speaks
At last the springtime has arrived
My world around does come alive.
As sunrays skip about the place
They fill the void in every space
The breeze is gentle, kind and swift
I sense my spirits rise and lift,
Oh what a day that we may share
And how I wish you would be there !
I’d like to be a shiny fish in life’s great big sea
I’d splash and swim all around my seaside fantasy
I’d nibble at the feast with tuna or some cod
Who knows, because I might digest scraps that they discard
Oh how much fun it would be to travel in their stream
And realise even I may share a mermaid’s dream !
While winter winds do snow and blow
And springtime rains make all things grow
While summer sun warms all we’ve got
And autumn crops do fill the pot
We need to say our thanks once more
Before we exit life’s back door.
How marvelous our God must be
He did all this for you and me
There is no way we can repay
What He has done in one short day !
I thank You Lord for all You’ve done
For everything and everyone,
I beg You please desert us not
For in the end You’re all we’ve got
I cannot bear the pain I see
Your children know such misery.
This world is fighting to survive
Help us to keep our faith alive
Speed love upon its magic wings
And share the joy of life it brings !
Love is a word I use a lot
For without love what have I got,
A lonely world all to myself
I’d be there wasting on some shelf.
I’d rather be a loving soul
Than searching for an empty goal
Whatever joy that life may bear
It’s so much greater when we share !
An early chill now fills the air
And soon the sun its warmth will share
As for the day we all prepare
Our joyful show of hope and care
Let’s join together in a prayer
A loving God is always there !
A little bit of garden around the corner there
A little touch of heaven in early morning air
A highway in the sky for migrating birds to share
A pathway to the stars and a road to get you there.
At times I think I’m petrified
My arms all limp, my legs seem tied
I cannot move, I feel like stone
How shall I manage all alone ?
But who’s alone, we live with hope
And learn to seek God’s broader scope
For He is present every hour
And shares with us His awesome power !
When I was young and meek and mild
I knew the manners of a child
But as I grew and aged a bit
My ways improved I learned to fit.
It seems to me that age must share
Abilities of love and care
Yet caution all to patience earn
As one by one each takes a turn !
I’ve failed to take the time to say
To folks I’ve met along the way
How grateful I have always been
For kindness shown, to my chagrin.
So many things get left behind
I’m loathe to think I’ve been unkind
But vow to try to make amends
As best I can to all my friends.
For friendship is this special thing
That carries care upon its wing
And shares the hopes we’re dreaming of
Amid abundance of our love !
If I were a rainbow my home would be the sky
You would see my colors if mist were passing by
The sun must be behind if you’re to catch the glow
There through tiny raindrops it’s time to see the show.
Only seven colors the spectrum is complete
Oh what a sight to show majestic and so sweet
And such a great reminder that God is ever there
Keeping every promise that we were meant to share !
I’m sure I heard an angel voice
Reminding me I had no choice
That soon their choir needed me
To join in this epiphany !
I know that it’s a magic time
Rewarding us with joy sublime
Inviting all to hum along
Part of the chorus of His song !
I wish my voice was not so old
And that my hopes have not grown cold
In spite of this I’m glad to share
Our God’s sweet love and gentle care !
There is a river I have seen
Its waters flow and ebb and stream
Sometimes it trickles on the ground
Among loose pebbles all around
Reminding us of how God’s word
Spreads like those waters as it’s heard
Embracing all both far and near
Sharing His blessings through each year !
I do believe God’s on my side
He knows my heart, my fear, my pride
There are no secrets we can’t share
He fills our lives with love and care !
Those moments when I’m feeling down
I know He will not let me drown
I wear His life-vest every day
And all that I must do is pray !
For me this life’s a blessed gift
No burden is too much to lift
I laugh because God’s love is free
He shares with us eternally !
We thank you Lord for grace and care
And all the blessings that we share
Through times of good and times of bad
Those times we gave it all we had !
Some lifetimes have a slow restart
For many hide a timid heart
Beyond our skills the fear still lurks
One foot before the other works !
The steady pace of trying hard
Should help to keep us on our guard
The path ahead cannot be sure
Pray it will make our way secure !
My heart recalls what used to be
And tugs on strings to set me free
Those days embraced so long ago
Remember love’s sweet afterglow.
While passions bound to yesterday
Whose memories have lost their way
Are moments that we cannot find
No matter how we chance rewind.
A breeze that drifts across the room
And harbors dreams that will not bloom
Are shadows of an old affair
That time alone may lose or share.
It’s true, joy comes in every size
As part of life in which surprise
Makes our existence so worthwhile
And merits us with loving smile.
We’ve known a few with lives quite sad
To hear them laugh makes us feel glad
It takes scarce more to bring them care
With us to work and help and share !
I looked out o’er my roof today
And caught the wind and leaves at play
They pranced about in tribal dance
I could not help avert my glance.
A crescent moon hung in the sky
Leftover from sleeptime gone by
There glowing in the early light
Late vestige of the fleeing night.
How strange to note natures reply
That sun and moon can share the sky
Great wonder that this truth may be
Strong lesson for both you and me !
