Unseen Hands

Invisible love of unseen hands

Unfold the blankets of the heart

Layers of doubt-wrinkles of shame

Imbedded woes of long ago

Trapped images of fleeting wrongs

Gathered like straw within the mind

Forbidding the joy to be free

One by one the faults are driven

Far from the shattered spirits

To a place of wholeness, within

Realms of hope with blessed peace

Where unseen hands caress

With tender touches of grace

Knitting forgiveness of self

To the hurts of others

Going beyond what needs to be

To belong once again

Where the beautiful memories

Of only the good doth dwell.

I Took a Walk

I took a walk through my amazing life today

I saw all the people I had met along the way

Some were very helpful and encouraging as could be

One or two knocked me down kicking dirt all over me

A few mocked in amusement as I took the inevitable fall

While others judged I was of no use at all

I still don’t understand why some wouldn’t even let me try

To be the person I was meant to be-Or why?

For in my walk I truly tried to help all I could

Only wanting them to treat others as they should

Now as this walk of life is approaching it’s final end

I just want to say to those I call a dear friend

Thank you for blessing my life on this earth

For through the portals of time I have seen your worth

By your kindness and genuine love you have shown

I pray for you to be blessed and never lost or alone

Until we walk those glorious eternal streets of gold

And our gracious Father God receives us into His fold.

God’s Special Wonder

Meadow larks singing in the early dawn

Sweet smells drifting above a new mowed lawn

Gentle breezes caressing the glistening dew

Each of these wonders reminds me of You.

The robin’s blue eggs warm in the sun

Mama bird’s watching for each little one

Sheltering leaves know just what to do

Each of these wonders reminds me of You.

Clouds dancing across sky-blue streams

Glory reflecting sweet moments of dreams

Dragon flies buzz, there’s a bee or two

Each of these wonders reminds me of You.

Anything and everything, and all of the above

Each one created by God’s infinite love

This being the reason, I know tis’ true

God’s special wonder to me-is You.

Destiny’s Walk

Over rough roads and dangerous curves

Falling sometimes losing our nerve

“Keep looking forward,” we hear destiny say

“The past can never go this way!”

Ignoring the frivolous thoughts of fear

And benign senses, when we come near

We travel onward where miracles exist

On destiny’s walk there are no ‘as is.’

Renewing hope, not settling for less

No ‘maybes’, no ‘never minds’, or ‘what if’s’

Standing strong when put to the test

We let faith do-what faith does best.

With sureness of spirit we simply go on

Getting this life’s eternal work done

We lift up our heads, give God our hands

Knowing for certain -He knows the plan.

For He, with all His marvelous ways

Keeps every moment, fills all of our days

His hands are not idle, nor useless His talk

His WORD after all, creates ‘destiny’s walk’.
