love

 Sending a hug

As many 

As I can

So many 

Hurt people

Hurting each other 

Out of fear

Of what

Isn’t known

Love yourself and one another 

Stoke

 Lord

Lead me

In your ways 

And remind 

Me that 

I’m not in charge 

Of fixing 

The problem 

I’m just not

To stoke it in

My attempt 

For attention 

Place

 Cold and rainy

Warm drink

And fuzzy slippers

Worship songs

On repeat

As focus

Is directed

In its 

Rightful place. 

air

 Enjoy the sunshine

It’s the natural

Mood booster

Lord

Thank you

Enjoying 

The small things

Begins

With the goodness

That never ceases

To make

The biggest smiles

Appear 

Out of 

Thin air

compassion

 As I start

The day

Center my soul

Where it’s needed

Humbly guide

My sinful nature

To lean

Into goodness

Love and humility 

As your child

Called to greater

Compassion and grace

For those who test

My ability

To display kindness

It seems

That those

Who have it all

Need it most

Love yourself

And one another

Has taken

On a new meaning

For me

divinity

 Love me

Lord

As only

You can

When sufficiency

And peace

Are flailing

And floundering

Upward I look

For if 

Looking down

Collapses my spirit

Faster than sinking ships

On Your day

Restore

To me

The first fruits 

Of Your divinity

positivity

 In the chilled air

I grab the coziest robe

The warmest coffee

And get ready

To greet you

All this morning 

With the love

In my heart 

The joy in 

My soul

And the hope

That only 

Comes from

A relationship 

With the Creator

Positivity 

Takes work

Continued commitment 

To seeking light

And laughter

From the 

Mouths of babes
