Why dost thou look at me ?
Will I steal from thy little nest,
so well prepared,
to allow only you and yours
to feed the little ones
Yes , you do not fail
In your search for food ;
a provider in earnest .
Where do you go
And how fast you return ?
They wait with outstretched beaks
To feed on the finest you bring ,
Surely that day will arrive,
When they too fly away.
So is the circle of life ,
They will find new trees
Build new nests
To bring in new lives
To begin a fresh verse
A couple of crows
Preparing their home
With bare necessities ,
Branches , and anything in sight
They fly to and fro
Up and down ,
Beaks holding
A stick or two for a nest.
I see a ray of Hope as these crows
Prepare for new lives
Despite the silence of
People in lockdown mode .
Is this not a sign from the Master,
Of new life ahead?
Just as the dove held an olive branch
At the end of the great flood ?
Thank you Lord
For your love and compassion
You care for us
And your mercies are endless .
Sunshine of hope ,
Birds singing
Butterflies flitting
And all at peace
Can you imagine the entire world
today stands still ;
Pray where is the hustle and bustle
of Man who had
no time for anyone
least of all to
recognise our Creator .
Does the Lord have to do this,
To send a virus ?
To draw attention
to Himself ;
from creatures who forgot their Creator ?
On our knees we pray ,
Lord have mercy
Forgive us our trespasses ;
Send us your healing touch
And give us New Life
As we live again
To love and serve you
To meet and greet
To rejoice ,
To cherish another
Family , friend or foe,
Rich or poor,
To resolve our differences
And to live in peace , where
‘The wolf shall live with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid,
the calf and the lion and the fatling together,
and a little child shall lead them.( Isaiah 11:6)
They will not hurt or destroy on all my holy mountain;
for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the LORD as the waters cover the sea.(Isaiah 11:9)
When I look up,
The blue skies beckon me,
Amidst the bustle below,
An eagle cruises high above
Ever watchful for its prey.
Is that all I ever see?
Can it stir up its nest,
And hover over its young ;
As it spreads its wings ,
And bears them aloft ?
In you I trust O Lord ,
As you hold me,
and quieten my soul,
Me your child
Ever content not wanting more.
In the shadow of your wings
I will rejoice,
As you set me free,
To live and move
And have my being,
You a King,
Always waiting ,
For a welcome
To hearts,
Whether poor or rich.
You walked on earth,
And still here,
Open my eyes
And heart
To your presence.
Time stands still,
To your Majesty,
Sun and moon,
Bow to your presence,
Past, present, and future ,
In unison.
Who am I
To be lavished
With love every morning ,
Thank you Lord,
Thank you Lord.
At dawn I await ,
Your heavenly dew,
The petals of my life
Receive the warmth
of your love
To be , to be like you.
Fill me Lord
And let me be
A flower in bloom
It’s fragrance forth ,
living ,loving
more like you ,
to be , to be, like you
As I await
To see your Face.
And this life fades away;
Renew me Lord
To be the change
Of life with you , with you .
Look around and reflect ,
Who can stop you
From thinking,
speaking and
Doing the right thing ?
Can any law stop
You from loving
Even your enemy
Who may one day
Become a friend !
Yes and my soul ;
Can any man destroy
That which God holds
In his loving arms !
Our Creator who gives life and also sends to hell fire
So am I willing to see that
My soul is meant for an eternal goal,
Eternal joy or eternal slavery
Heaven or hell!
Perfect love casteth out fear
Love always overcomes hate!
Love gives life !
Then you and I are truly FREE!
The blur of the past
Sustains the present
So I presume,
A storehouse of
good memories
And junked failures
Pray
Are these stepping stones
To a bright future ?
Can we bask
only in success;
And dismiss failures ?
Who can fathom the future
Except the One who is Timeless
His Presence sustains
Past, Present and future
A Gift to be cherished
Forever
He is the Alpha and the Omega
The beginning and the end
Who holds us in the palm
Of His Hands;
Do I trust Him?
Now ?
‘For God did not give us a spirit of timidity but a spirit of power and love and self control.’ ( 2 Timothy 1:7)
‘In Him we live and move and have our being.’ ( Acts 17:28)
Times of change,
Challenges abound;
Do I fear?
At any age,
I hear of
Courage with a C
But there is a C
Cancer which oft
may counter Courage
How do I face it?
Fight or flight ;
Combat or surrender
The only way I see it,
Trust in His Spirit
Of power , love and self control!
He is ever near,
Holds us in his loving arms,
As a Father to a son
Am I willing to share this pain
With him on the cross
As grace in abundance flows
Accept with courage
And when unbearable
Surrender
‘into your hands, Lord’
And take each day as a gift
Not forgetting
‘To live is Christ and
To die is gain ‘
I am assured that its better to surrender into His loving arms at all times, as
‘In him we live and move and have our being’ (Acts 17:28)
Listen,
Can you see, or hear, or imagine?
The majestic morn ,
As sunshine streams across ,
And every creature ,
Sounds present .
The sparrow flits through,
In search of the tasty morsel.
Parrots screech away…… I am hungry.
Crows caw lazily….before their day begins .
I also hear the sweep of a broom,
Does not persistence pay..
Imagine the day when the sweeper
Is away.
The sun rises ,
more seriously.
People plan their day
Pray , can we forget the
Beauty of creation?
In the midst of making ends meet?
