If A Stranger Came Among Us
I wonder what he’d say to me as we strolled along the way.
I think a truth he’d share with me, and here’s what he might say.
“It’s not a message you’ll understand, at least not right away.”
“It will always be here with you, although I cannot stay.”
“My truth I leave with you,

The Life-Giving Downpour
The sun, a tyrant, reigns with scorching might,
Days bleed together, a suffocating night.
My soul parched, I yearned for a cleansing rain,
To wash away sorrow and ease the sun's pain.
A tremor in the air, a whisper on the breeze,
The clouds gather close, promising sweet release.
The first drops fall, a melody so sweet,
A

Sun Day
Up bright and early with HORUS
Enjoying the sounds of the Morning Glory chorus
Feeling the energy and riding with RA at noon
Beautiful, warming rays piercing my skin like a harpoon
Coming down a bit after noon, moving towards SET
But still shining brightly 'cause it hasn't gone down yet
Now OSIRIS is looming very near
Cooling down, yes, going down,

Bodybusy
I've never considered myself nosy, I just care about people that's all,
The way gardeners care about roses, when colored leaves start to fall.
But like chaotically spattered sunsets, often things can get confused,
Like the times I interfered to help, only to have help firmly refused!
I had never comprehended why anyone, would rather make a huge mistake,
Like

God's Life Giving Word - Psalm 119: 25-32
Down there I am tasting dust
please bring your living giving word
feed my soul fill it with your life
may it once again be truly stirred
The opportunity was given to speak
so I could tell of what was my way
realization hit me to be taught
in the word of God to lighten my day
Please give me your spirit of

The Heritage Seed
I am the cornerstone
In the legend of timeless Oaks
That so profoundly stand alone
Magnificent in strength and age
A noble guardian of longevity and resilience
My permanence and stamina
Is willed to rise above all other trees
Yet hold the ground deeply rooted
And take my solemn vow of continuance
As the sovereign commemorative
To the ultimate power of eternal Mother Earth
I enfold

Life Giving Lake
Life-giving blue lake filled almost to rim
Brings beauty and delight to ones full of dreams
Gives plentiful to migrated Canadian geese
Offers cozy homes to duck families
Meditating Cranes stand by banks
Male Gobblers dance charmingly ruffling their fans
Red-tailed Hawks, Kestrels and Eagles circle over high
Searching for tasty meal using exceptional eye
Clever Blue Jays show presence

Life Giving Goddess
Fertility
You're the life giving goddess,
Let me fertilize your expectation
emptying my seed while cupping your richness
and soon your pregnancy furrows
Begin to swell
lush and green.
Feast of dreams,sustenance of my people;
Your body is a temple giving and giving again
And when the harvest leaves you barren
I will let you stretch fallow and rest before ravishing you and spilling seed

Life Giving Rain and Sun
The rain is soaking the land bringing much needed substance to the young flowers, trees and plants. The following day all is rife with colour as the once dropping plants come back to life.
rain falling softly
bringing life to thirsty land
with blazing colour
The drought at last ended, everywhere is full of promise as the cycle restarts.

Being Life-Giving Person
Powerful message of hope
Eternal God did not make death
Nor rejoice in the destruction of the living
God is in the side of life, not death
Father Christ is touched by the death of a young girl
Restores her life and gave to her parents
What a beautiful loving action
The fact remains
All of us will pass through death
But our spirit

A Black and White World
Imagine a world with no colour in sight, or laughter
To cheer the weary soul,
No sunshine to clear the grey skies away,
Nor emotion to express
a simple smile,
what would life be without the
Beauty of friendship
Like the precious friendship
Between you and me,
It’s the simple things that make life
Worthwhile.
It is often said A Little Kindness

It Cost Something To Follow Christ
It Cost Something To Follow Christ!
When Christ chose to die for us on the cross.
He knew what it meant. He knew what it cost.
When I chose to give my life 100% to him.
I knew that a new journey was about to begin.
It cost something to follow Jesus. It really does!
It begins to happen when

Have You Felt Like Giving Up Lately
Have You Felt Like Giving Up… Lately?
Have you felt like giving up…
Lately?
As the problems in life have
been building up greatly…
Is there something in life that’s
“dragging you down?”
Any peace and joy in life
can’t be found?
Perhaps you feel like: “There’s no
use for me trying.”
Everything I’ve tried isn’t working
nor is satisfying.”
I have GOOD
