Prayer

 Lord

Hear my 

Prayer

Petitioning you

As I am

So tired

My strength

Must come

From you

Hug me

Please don’t 

Let me

Wander not

From your sight

Questions

 What’s on your heart?

What’s is bringing you a smile?

What is in your cart?

What’s for breakfast?

One thing you want?

Contentment

My Earl Grey tea

Granola and a shirt

Bagel with butter

If I go with the material answer. Quite a bit

If I go with another answer. Contentment

You

 Pray

I don’t lose

Hope as 

I wait

For the 

Desires of

My heart

To become reality

Enjoy the present

Until

The future

I want

Comes to 

Fruition

Love me

In all my

Brokenness

As I

Become

Whole in

You

Presence

 May the sun

Kiss your face

The wind

Brush your hair

Rain to wash

The tears away

And God

To be

Present

In every season

Happy St. Patrick’s Day

 Happy St. Patrick’s Day

Not Irish. Wishing you all the joy, love and peace. 

Hugs to you all

Joy

 Sometimes having company

Is the biggest blessing

It shatters your shell

And you get

To embrace

Childhood

Once again

It feels so good

To laugh

And to remember

How long its been 

Since you really

Experienced joy

In all its wonder

Watching children

Hula hoop 

And draw

And not tethered

To a screen

Is true happiness

For me

To see

Seek the best

 Your Word

The lamp

Onto my feet

The guidebook

For my life

To manage

The fear

The doubt

The what ifs

That wreak havoc 

On this soft soul

To remain soft

In a hard world

That seems

To approve

Of the worst

Of humanity

May I follow

Your will

Not my own

My will

Gets me

In more trouble 

That I can

Ever say

Lord

Give me

A heart

That seeks

The best

In all

I’m to do
