Poetry can be a prayer A delight in nature So many things possible To express the Hand of God So mysterious One wonders why certain things Happen in the order they do A problem is solved and Anxiety ceases; we go on Without a second thought An undesired delay prevents An accident; we are never Aware of this phenomena Helping others in an Unexpected way can change The person’s outlook on life It is in the little things, many Of which remain unknown, that Make up the essence of our being Love one another is the message Of the One who is the Light Somehow the light gets in And we feel the peace He brings In our world of chaos We find calm in Him To not know Him or to Deny Him would be sad or foolish Without Him we are nothing He is the golden ring which We do not have to reach for Because He is always with us How great is that we think as We sing out with appreciation How great Thou art Stanski September 15, 2021^
