Christmas Wish

My wish for you is three in part.
I wish you love to fill your heart.
I wish you peace to fill your soul.
I wish you faith to make you whole.

Daily Bread

Loving God,
open my eyes.
Fill me with patience.
Provide me with strength.
Clothe me with love.
Remind me I need
only bread for today.
In your hands, dear God,
you hold my future.
Free me from fear.
Remind me to lean on you.
Thank you.

The Bloom

Up from the earth
comes the little, green shoot.

It reaches for the sun
and drinks in the rain.

Each day brings new growth.
Each day brings the promise of life.

Life

May the wonder of life

never cease to amaze.
May the joy in each moment
give you reason to praise.
May you always remember
how special you are.
May you treasure the gift
we are given each day.
May you stop now and then
to feel the wind in your hair
and watch the birds, 
as they float in the air.
Remember to tell those you love
just how precious they are.
And when you look up at night,
wish on a star

Summer

I feel the grass beneath my feet.
I smell the flowers’ perfume sweet.

I taste the fruit fresh from the tree.
I hear the birds as they sing to me.

I touch the blossom on the vine.
I know life is a gift divine.

The Stars

I went to the window to greet the day.
But all the stars had gone away.
"Oh no," I thought, "Where can they be?
Perhaps they are afraid of me."

But when I looked up again,
I saw their shining faces grin.
"We were never out of sight.
We were shining through the night."

At times, my eyes fail to see
the beauty right in front of me.
Little details of the day
quickly pass along the way.

After The Storm

The rain washed the sky.
The sun beamed down upon the earth.

The clouds were washed in golden light.
I was shown a piece of heaven.
