April Footle Poems

Oh God,	,
Our Lord 

Great King,
We sing.

Eyes raise
Give grace

You lead,
We plead.

Steer life,
From Strife.

Help reap,
Joys deep.

Give bread.
Love spread.

Calm us,
In fears.

Save us,
From tears. 

Our need, 
Do heed.

We bide.
Abide.

winter's
ending;

spring is
pending.

cool and
pleasing

but so
fleeting.

sun beams
greeting

cool breeze
soothing

spring hue
winning

flowers
springing

sweet birds
singing.

all those
waiting,

for spring's
coming,

will be
humming.

Be kind
blest mind.

Love* --- show
God’s glow.

Be good
thanks should.

Peace --- spread
smite dread.

Be nice
heart’s vice.

Hope --- light
cheers right.

Be sweet
smile, greet.

Joy --- give
forgive.

Be true
that’s you.

Faith --- share
best care.
