LOVES FLOWER

God created me I am like a tall flower
so full of delight in fragrance
and splendor of color

Until I am pelted by rain; hail then hits me
heavy and hard is it's assault

I am then trampled under foot since
I no longer resemble the flower I once was
I am now just a battered down plant

But my roots have not suffered from all
the attacks that were made
So they are slowly able to help me rise
up again to be that flower which I once was

Gazing upon me now one would never believe
thatIoncewasbentover, broken down, mangled
and such a disfigured sight

I am now the image of my first bloom
only much more intense is my fragrance
and my color magnificently bright

God created me I am like a tall flower
so full of delight in fragrance
and splendor of color

Falling In


Dear God,
Thank you for letting me meet my friend
Today, I fell in love
He was so beautiful
Just his eyes, looking at me with compassion

I didn’t see any more than that
Eyes, Large, Compassionate,
Loving, Caring, Colorful
A rainbow of Color

Maybe I just saw a soul
Wouldn’t that be great
If we could look beyond what is physical
And just see spirits

I asked him a question
And he answered
I gave him a gift
He received it

I held out my hand
He took it
I opened my arms
He embraced me

I prayed
He replied
I met Jesus today
He was here with me

Falling in Love
With people I meet
Reminds me
My life is so sweet

Falling in Love
With friends I’ve known
Reminds me
How much I’ve grown

Falling in Love
With my family again
Reminds me
There’s no need to explain

Falling in Love
Is exciting indeed
It gives bounce to our step
And gives God a new lead

Falling in Love
What a glorious feeling
A spiritual High
It sends our souls reeling

A gift from God
He conceived of
Euphoric indeed
This feeling of love
