Unconditional Love
Fire deep-Flowing.
I cannot hold to such pure overwhelming Love.
Then open my heart to your love
Coursing my being
Unconfined in gifted flow
Lord, my Lord
Your love is so pure
And in touching purifies
Still I hesitate.
Were I to fully open what would you ask?
My all? This self?
I know I would only find my truest self
But how does one open
Little by little
One day at a time
Or
All in surrender
No answers
I only know
You love me into being.
The Race
A laugh and a tear
got racing to the surface to
color the moment.
Blessed
Blessed are those who trust in God
Blessed are those who love God with their whole heart and soul, their whole being
Blessed are those who humbly and graciously serve others.
Blessed are those whose hearts empathize with the suffering of the world
Blessed are those who care about the heartaches of others
Blessed are those who stand up for what is right and just letting their voices be heard for those who cannot speak
Blessed are those who give life through encouragement and positive words
Blessed those who give of themselves through their work and presence each day
Blessed those who endure suffering for the sake of others and for God’s holy name
Christmas Presence
What is it we long for
Christmas presents
or
Christmas Presence
Gifts
or
Gift?
Only Candles
Only candles burn and soon
The lights will be gone
Only I know deeper
I cannot rush this burning
I cannot prepare enough
Time rushes now and it is both too quick
And too slow
If only it were over
But then if it were
I would not yet be ready
What is needed?
I think of time
Time to prepare
But my heart
Rushes time
Or is it the uneasiness of waiting
waiting
waiting.
