Front Porch Prayers


As the twilight slips in,
Quiet as a melody
Thick as one’s past sin
A satiny soothing comes, pleasant
And wise as the ebony of night
Oh, precious joy, such a beautiful sight

The melody of laughter, grace
Rising from the stars,
Coloring the wind in an embrace,
Stories warm and gentle
Like prayers, more than sentimental
As the night rises, unjudgmental 

As the colors of life restore
The peace of sundown
Reflecting the brilliance of a moon
who is making a face like a clown
but memories, blessings in dew
tempt me to see the sea’s blue

the feelings of a love long gone
the beautiful in the pine,
trees waiting for the rise of dawn
when the brisk feel of light
senses what God made right
with His cross, where love did fight

As the prayers turn to praise
And the flow of love stirs awake
A fire that His grace will amaze
It’s love that tells us what to say
When prayers erase the long day
And the night falls into soft gray

Front porch moments grow warm
Telling the heart, life’s too short
though the memories are worn
We know what it is to love 
With love that ends each prayer
With faith that says God does care

He cares for the heart who is afraid
He cares for the ones He once made
The hearts and souls, who sit and pray
On a front porch, where they can say
All the words that tell God the story
How they love, throughout time, giving glory…

Glory to God, who is our hope
He is the wind on the porch,
The reason that I know how to cope
Without Him, I don’t know
With Him, the answers grow
From the light He shines, the gentle flow

A flow of love that never dies
As the stars ignite the skies
And the front porch comes alive
With joy that says we can survive
Love is with us, through it all
Even when we feel like we might fall
