LIKE DREAMS THAT COME TRUE

Someone liked a poem
I wrote, which added to 
My joy.  When one is
Moved positively by acts
Of nature we rejoice
And thank God for the 
Mysterious wonders He
Provides.  With God’s grace
We can see opportunities
And act upon them
Joy comes in all forms
Even the quiet joy of making
It through a difficult day
Or having food for the family
In the midst of all darkness
There can be joy just in the
Knowing that the light
Will enter and the darkness
Will be overcome with light
In our world today we trust
That God will provide light and
Universal joy and exist and
Prevail.  We may all do our
Part and bring light and joy
Wherever we go

NATURE PROVOKING THOUGHTS

Today I saw the fields
Beyond the railroad tracks
On the Tannery road
Sun lightened them and
In the background I saw
Trees and hills that looked
Like mountains.  The context
Was the making of a prayer
One I wanted to say
I am sure there were angels
And the angels surely prayed
Joy can be elevational 
My joy does not, cannot
Depend on the sun, but
In the knowing that I 
Am not alone.  I have a
Great trust in the Holy Spirit 
And in my fellow angels.  
I must step aside and 
Not interfere with them
Their work is important
My work has meaning
And value.  I am
Short on time, must make
Every moment count
There is no excuse for failure
Even if the sun fails to shine
Life is a precious gift
One to be thankful for
And to be lived fully
