In The Depths

In the depths of your eyes

I can see my soul

It is transparent with

Love for you and you for me

Never have I felt such pride

Such emotion stirring in me

Your will and mine in tune completely

Sharing this beautiful love

Our hearts bound by cords of eternity

This is a love that surpasses the known

A love that walks with the angels

On heaven’s holy winds

Carrying us to a place of sweet joy

Just to be together as we truly are

No pretense-just truth

That in itself is our gift from God.

And God Said

I had asked God for a miracle today

But the answer had not come

I had cried out in my selfish way

Expecting Him to jump and run

Where is my miracle? I need You so!

I have asked in the Lord’s Name

Dear God, why are You being so slow?

Everything is just the same!

As I was crying out to Him

A little girl called my name

And with a smile as bright as the sun

Through the door she came.

And God said, “There is your miracle today.”

Then my oldest daughter came through that door

Upset with the things of the day

As I smiled at her, this child I adore

She gave me a kiss as she went on her way

And God said, “There is your miracle today.”

My wonderful husband and son

Came through that very same door

Smiling and laughing, having such fun

Making my heart and spirit soar

And God said, “There is your miracle today.”

Dear God I ask forgiveness for my selfish thoughts

And with a humble heart I pray

Never let me forget the grace by which I was bought.

And God Said, “There is your miracle today!”

Walk With Me

Walk with me

Beyond our tomorrows

To a land of eternal dreams

Look at the stars, the moon,

And God’s own heaven

See the glory spread

Across the midnight sky

Walk with me through

Clouds of rain

And dewdrop shimmers

Cascading waterfalls

And moon lit seas

Walk with me

Beyond the crimson sun

Past quaking aspen

Ready for new snow

Scan the mountains

Reaching out imaginary arms

To embrace the coming day

Walk with me my love

All these wonders we can see

Arm and arm beyond our tomorrows

That still are yet to be.

Soft Winds

Life’s strong currents had carried us

Far beyond ourselves

Lost in the vacant worlds of loneliness

Where the trails of the ‘maybes’ and the ‘could be’s’

Had faded and disappeared

Not finding our way

We wandered down the path

Of fears and self doubt

Then over the crest of time

Soft winds began to blow

A tender kiss, a tiny hug

A look that meant so much

The warm breeze nudging love awake

Beckoning us to come to another place

A place of peace where the other mattered most

And to not be afraid of tomorrow

The soft winds whispered through our souls

Caressed the thoughts of our minds

Springing anew expectant hope

Of a lifetime spent as two

Taking tiny little steps at first

Each fearful of another fall

Yet knowing in our hearts

That the soft winds of a Father’s loving will

Had brought us safely home.

Mama Needs Water

Down in the well the ole bucket goes

Mama needs water to wash all of the clothes

Soapsuds and scrub boards singing their song

She’s in her apron just humming along.

Sweat’s pouring from her soft wrinkled brow

She keeps on working knowing just how

Carrying each load to the ole clothesline

To dry in the breeze and the warm sunshine.

Her children are thankful, they know they are blessed

Mama’s clean sheets are simply the best!

They’ll lay down their head on a sweet pillowcase

Feeling mama’s love all over their face.

She does not have to do all that she does

But she’ll do what she can for the family she loves

So down in the well the ole bucket goes

Mama needs water to wash all of ‘their’ clothes.

Mountain Morn

Daybreak dances over grand majestic views

Morning’s sunrise gleams with autumn’s hues

Golden eagles soar above the sunlit ridge

A valley stream caresses the old canyon bridge

Quaking aspens are dressed in glittering gold

As flashes of sunlight become more bold

Big horn sheep scale the craggy heights again

While silver foxes scurry into their forest den

Lovelorn elk bugle out a lonesome call

Beneath rugged pines standing straight and tall

Giant waterfalls cascade among tiny rainbows

As reflecting pools fill with melting snows

Butterflies flitting from flower to flower

Sweetened by a soft moonlight shower

Wispy clouds stream over the brave summit’s face

Disappearing miraculously without a trace

Chattering squirrels gather fallen conifer cones

Tiny chipmunks scamper over moss-covered stones

Mama doe watching over her newborn fawn

Miracles unfolding within this sun-drenched dawn

Life’s amazing wonders are on this stillness borne

Flying on the wings of every mountain morn.

In the Beauties of Holiness; From the Womb of the Morning (Ps. 110:3)

Sunrise glistens on sleepy dewdrops

Suspended on spidery webs

Birds awaken to sing a new song

Chasing away the dark night

In the beauties of holiness

Life’s at it’s best

And from the womb of the morning

God’s children are blessed.

As starlight fades, the moon scurries on

Leaving behind the feathery dawn

Roses bloom gently among the sweet baby’s breath

Lifting their face to the sun

In the beauties of holiness

The Light shines so true

From the womb of the morning

God’s mercies are new

Daybreak burst forth in rapturous glee

Emblazoned by glorious hues

Clouds race across the steel-blue sky

Dancing to the music of God

In the beauties of holiness

Hearts are reborn

From the womb of the morning

God’s love carries on.

So with each ray of the sun

That pierces the shadowy night

I gratefully receive from the womb of the morning

The beauties of holiness in my LORD and SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST!

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.

Forever Found

Bound by eternity ties ever strong

Keep pulling forward-to further along

Windows of time, through open doors

Forever guided by our expansion of more.

Needs ever filling, needs never met

Comparing the two, it’s not over yet!

Taking and giving replacing the void

Time never spent, hurts to avoid.

Eyes toward the future seeing no end

Mortals walking, souls to ascend

Lost in the darkness, calls to the light

Ever trying doing what’s right.

Heaven eternal granting the dream

Finding the river of mercy’s sweet stream

Cords of compassion, eternity bound

Forever forward-forever found.
