How high can a butterfly fly? Only God knows how, when and why For He designed each wing before each cocoon Just as He knows the shape of our brow before placing us in our mother's womb Oh to Him who is immeasurably able! Can we fathom? Can we find a label? No! There is … Continue reading A Poem of Praise

This Memorial Day
Memorial days of the past Meant getting beer and getting it fast Sun shining The one made by the Big bang Skimpy clothes Making sure I would go Where sex and sin Disguised as the win Now in Christ I pray for the families who lost a loved one in the fight A foreign place … Continue reading This Memorial Day
Humbled at His Feet
I have not perfected the art Of balancing the start Of God's gathering A ministry Tapping into far and wide Sometimes hearts collide At home and abroad If it is a track of striving, a kingdom workers facade Too many things on the list to do Wasn't Martha right and true? To whom, true to … Continue reading Humbled at His Feet
Speak to the Clouds
He spreads the clouds across the sky Like icing on a cake The clouds, they lay Ready to obey Every breath of wind Breaking them in, Humbling their vast power For it is He who darkens but remains the Tower Oh, heavenly clouds, Wrapped in His love abound Teach us to flow In every high … Continue reading Speak to the Clouds
Gifts at Twilight
Distant rhythms Drums and strums Music made Under the evening shade The bright half moon Lulled by the school band's swoon United, ignited Energy livening the arrival of night I count this brisk walk ... With no talk But melodies ... Oh the rhapsody ... Reverberating deep A gift I may keep His fullness of … Continue reading Gifts at Twilight

A Sleepless Spirit
It's those sleep less nights The hours shared with the owls in twilight Where day is a distant memory And night is fading into gray A haze Blurring what's real Oh, the true meal You can sink your teeth into Words rising to the top Of your conscious Parading Arranging Poetry is A world through … Continue reading A Sleepless Spirit
Our Morning Star
Onto the porch my socked feet creep Oh the glory of the coming dawn! Moon Ahhh, she's garish Through the trees I spy her crescent slices The stars ... muted, humble Knowing their rest is near Faithful designs Memories stir I wonder why I never learned more than the dippers His sky was not my … Continue reading Our Morning Star
Walk and Abide
Free feet Crooked but blessed Needing a rest From the noise Of two boys Alone walking With my phone So I can record The message Our Lord Whispers Arranges Titles Sneakers tied tight Walking in His light My heart is chosen, Woven My shoes are moving Spirit soothing School shopping blues Grocery and dinner muse … Continue reading Walk and Abide
