Inspirational Poem

God's Heart was written as I remembered the death of my son, and considered my own mortality.

GOD'S HEART

God’s heart is in new life

When buds burst forth in spring,

And hope grows yet eternal

And all our life seems green.


His tears refresh our summer

When life seems drawn and dry,

And there is none to share with,

Nor shade us when we cry.


God’s soul is in our autumn

When the winds begin to blow.

He knows how much we tremble

As the billows take their toll;


And in the depths of winter

When hope tends to despair,

He blankets us with comfort

As we cry to Him in prayer.


He’s with us in life’s seasons

Unwilling to let go.

He is there in times of joy,

Yet more as tear drops flow.


As we give our hearts to Him

He will heal our every pain,

And bless our souls with Sonshine

And turn our loss to gain.

CAMPING

At bedtime with all lights out

the majestic pines and stately oaks

stretch their long thin necks

toward the sky

whose serene gray face

peaks through a black lace

of leaves and needles

shadowing my canopied bed

with peace.
