Source of life growth
Remain beside
Steadfast and faithful
Resting there
Wait withstanding
Established surrounded
Secure in His steadfast love
Abide

Poetry
Who Are You Jesus?
Who are you Jesus …
with your piercing eye
and your kind touch?
Who are you Jesus …
who would call me from my tasks?
… A “fisher of men” you say I will be.
Who are you Jesus …
that my heart should race
just to hear your voice?
Who are you Jesus …
that you would accept one such as I,
… reaching out to touch my hand?
Who are you Jesus …
to welcome me into your family
and challenge me to become?
Who are you Jesus?
Integrity
True to self to God to others
Deeds and speech in honest ways
Ageless word forever prized
Firm in values holding steady
Honorable life
Integrity

WINGED FLIGHT
Call of geese as they wing their way
Graceful dance of butterflies
Flitter of a small wren’s tail
Majestic sweep of eagle path
Buzz of wasp, of bee, and fly
Lifting to the warmth of sky
Inhabitants all of this great earth.
To call
To dance
To come and go
To rise
To work
To be nourished
Winged flight… of life
Wonder
God of wonder,
God of awe.
Master. Creator
Of us all
See… majestic mountains,
Ocean’s span,
Universe’s sparkle,
And ripples of sand.
God, full of mystery,
Speaks our name.
Awesome. Mighty.
Always the same.
Here among us,
You delight.
Healer Father
In our sight.
God of wonder!
Journey
I step my foot upon this path
And so, begins my journey
Warm sunlight touching rock and blade
Beckoning to this journey
Companion with me on the way
To travel in life’s journey
Feet now ready, my legs prepared
Where go we on this journey
Sounds of voices, human and beast
Speak out along the journey
Questing onward through shade and bend
Ever upon this journey
With the Joy of a Child
When I waken
To morn’s cool breath
Quiet, peaceful
Night’s full rest
May I touch day’s promise
With the joy of a child
Day now greeted
By chirp and song
Honk and rumble
Whisper or shout
May I hear and listen
With the joy of a child
Food to nourish
Clothes to wear
Friends to help me
God to provide
May I step this day’s path
With the joy of a child
Heart now open
My eyes to see
Hands to offer
Words encourage
May I live day’s fullness
With the joy of a child
FREEBIES!

For Freedom
Oh, Dance!
Graceful arms lift and reach,
Raising hands on high;
Expressions of tune and song.
Oh, dance in joyful celebration!
Rhythmic feet point and tap,
Upward sway and leap;
Ever forward, persevere.
Oh, dance in joyful celebration!
Faithful Father! Creator Lord!
Always by our side.
Moving in life’s daily dance.
Oh, dance in joyful celebration!
Let them praise his name with dancing… Psalm 149:3a
I will celebrate before the Lord. 2 Samuel 6:21
