BOUNTIFUL GRACE
Always blessing me with bountiful grace*
Saviour and Lord God enriches my soul
Replenishing me to share against selfishness race
Governed by His love toward reaching-out goal…
Despite challenges, I triumph in His embrace
Exalting Him midst miracles that make me whole.
*2 Corinthians 12:9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made

Nameless
Nameless dreams seem to echo, returning…
Joy and peace, flavors of a season, fall
Stirring embraces from the wind, yearning
For gentle and soft, a slow Southern drawl
Joy and peace, flavors of a season, fall
Fresh dew trickling on the shadow’s whisper
For gentle and soft, a slow Southern drawl
There’s strength in the air, more alive, crisper.
Fresh dew trickling on

Bountiful
An aching sun falls, hesitant
Against the hills who tremble with autumn
Leaves, both gentle and fanatical,
Dancing to the melodies of truth, erasing
All of summer’s golden muse…
Twirling through the moments, peaceful
Ever changing, exchanging fresh green
For the hopefulness of blazing crimson, amber
And breathless golds who test the moments
With graphic breathes of toasty autumn….
Memorizing yesterday’s kisses
With reassurance that comes

The Bountiful Spring
Written: July 10, 2023
______________________________________________________________
In the seventh heaven, where the Throne resides,
A place of certainty, where light abides.
From the Pond of Abundance, water streams,
Chains of silver and pearls, dazzling as dreams.
Each drop is a life linked to the eternal universe.
Atoms intertwined, in flawless converse.
The sky wept, showering the earth's face,
Rivers overflowed in a majestic embrace.
Birds fluttered

The Bountiful Land
"Oh beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain."
----------
Tales from ancestral lore decree
How journeys prompt discovery.
Evolving visions, sacred themes,
Beckoned onward those hopes and dreams:
One land became that promised place
Undaunted seekers could embrace -
No plight would prove

Emerging Path, Hope and Its Bountiful Harvest
Emerging Path, Hope And Its Bountiful Harvest
From distant hills, seen the veiled valley below
Rolling landscape, covered in star sprinkled snow
Glowing under ravishing rays of midnight moon
Her heart all a flutter, love's spell that month of June
When she thought, would its most cherished touch arrive
Seeding again, her soul, her dreams, her being alive
Heaven above, with

Bountiful Bee Hive Betty
Bountiful Bee Hive Betty has her hive all ready.
There is honey to be made, all sweet and steady.
Buzzing around for attention is her beau, Wasp Eddie.
He is totally in love with the beautiful Bee Hive Betty.
Go away now, she tells him. The queen is near.
I will get back to you later, when it is convenient,

Bountiful Beauties
I've seen eye-catching blossoms elsewhere, but I need not look further than my front yard. Take the IRIS blossoms for example. Why, she's always
beautiful and robed in purple, but, although I don't think she's selfish or anti-social, she never stays for long. The white blossomed ROSES are beautiful
and plentiful; the pink ones are

Smeller Benefactor of Bountiful Lavender
Maybe if I was a benefactor
I would be still in lavender
And if the nostrils of my mind could smell vanilla
I would stream the internet to show everyone that I am a righteous fellow
And burst of cinnamon to enter my mouth
That sprout juices of pineapple
In lavender wear or rhyme
I

Our Bountiful God
Our God is bountiful because
She give us the right
To call her she?
And call me me
Our God is bountiful because
She tastes stillness
And gives me a taste lemon cider sugary
Her might gives us
Virtue and vice
And compels us to choose
How be she
She springs forth as nature
Perhaps just calling out to us
Our God is bountiful because…

Our Bountiful God
Our God is bountiful because
He showers us with abundance,
Seeing no difference , if black or white,
Giving endlessly, if rich or poor,
Loving us unconditionally without ever asking, for us to return.
Our God is bountiful because
He shows us light, when we are blind,
Removing every thorn along our way,
Cushioning the hardest of blows,
Loving us in a pure

OUR BOUNTIFUL GOD
Our God is bountiful because
in one open pomegranate,
He shows us whole orchards
of rubies and garnets,
multiplied like the feast
from five loaves and two fish.
Our God is bountiful because
He sends blessings by angels
like dandelion seeds on feathery wings
to people far away.
Our God is bountiful because
He sacrificed His only Son
to bleed red floods
to immerse

He Can Do It All
Our God is bountiful because I am able to write this poem
He provides and is always there in time of need
My bountiful God always blesses my home
Thank you God for life and most importantly my seeds

I would see nothing and grasp nothing without him
Because of his grace
