My Wish for You

Listen, close your eyes
Feel the Father's love.
What can be more beautiful
Than His blessings from above?
His embrace is in the sunshine
Raining down on your face
Feel His loving touch
With all His loving Grace.
The wind is blowing kisses
Sent to warm your heart.
Send your love to Him
Let the romance start.
Birds are singing love songs
Hear it echo through the trees.
There is no greater joy
Than simple things as these.
Close your eyes embrace
The peace within your soul
Quiet all your fears
Be still and simply know.
Each morning dawning is a symphony,
Each sunset a work of art
Created just for you
Close your eyes let the healing start.
I pray you find your Center
In He who is our all
I pray you feel the joy.
He sends to you this fall.
God bless and keep you
And bring your spirit peace.
Close your eyes you are home.
Let your wandering cease.

Can you see the rainbow,
Or is it just a tease?
Can you see the forest,
Or do you see the trees?
Do you focus on the bad,
When so much joys around?
Do you worry over an ounce
And stumble on a pound?
Life is far to precious
To ignore the love that is.
So much here to enjoy
From the grace that is His.
Let us look towards the heavens
And not fret over any care
Live this life full knowing
That He is really there.

God Lead Me

God lead me where You want me.
Show me the way to go.
Lead me on this journey
To offer You my soul.
I am weak and weary
You alone know the way.
Guide me, guard me, show me.
By Your side help me to stay.
The road is long and narrow
The dangers swift and sure
But I know that if I hold Your hand,
All will be safe and pure

Lessons From a Weed

I tried to rid my yard

Of weeds and other things.

Complaining of the work

And all the mess Spring brings.

I pulled up every dandelion

The next day there were more.

I could not understand

What were these things for

And then I stopped and looked

And realized the lesson at hand.

How could I be so blind.

How could I not understand?

We must take a lesson

From these silly little weeds.

And trust God to plant us

And take care of all our needs.

They have an inner strength.

And shrink not from a fight .

And gladly share their beauty.

With all their simple might.

I no longer feel the desire

To toss them all away.

I enjoy their sunny faces

And thank God for them in my day.

Starting On A Journey

Starting on a journey

Of heart, mind, soul, and life.

Beginning this Lenten Season

To leave behind foolish strife.

Struggling to follow

A saint who showed the way

Help me to walk dear St. Francis

With you in simplicity each day.
