It Will Be Alright... Spring

It's to the sunset I've always been drawn,

(never as inspired by the dawn)

its rays slowly softening as it goes along

weaving its colors to dream upon -

*

It's into the sunset we'll all disappear,

leaving behind the worlds stark fears;

leading us onward in hope for what lies

beyond these ever darkening skies;

there'll be no disappointment, to meet God there,

He who holds the sun, takes us into His care.

*

One day it will be our time to leave,

but for now there can be rest here as we

turn out the glimmering, weak earthly light,

knowing everything

will be alright.

Promise Seeds - spring

Maybe all life's dreams
are promise seeds,
things to be
that you can't yet see;
meant to come true,
planted deep;
some find nourishment
and begin to thrive
while others languish longingly
in their struggle to survive.
Faith is soil and water and sun
that give life to your dreams -
one by one.

In Your World - spring

In Your world the love and kindness never end.
In Your world we have whatever good things
a creative mind can send.
In Your world we will have no reason to be afraid.
In Your world all our sacrifices have already been made.
Heaven's Kingdom shines for us
Christ's flag of Truth has been unfurled,
Please hold us with Your mighty hand
until we're in Your world.

Yet I am always with You;
You hold me by my right hand.
You guide me with Your counsel,
and afterward You will take me into glory.
Pslam 73: 23,24

Tender Shoots - spring

Things that are tender are easily broken,
fragile and slender, seldom outspoken,
easy and gentle, warm and kind,
though fragile by nature,
they will not be confined.
