Paxton, Australia

Born in Southampton, England, I came to Western Australia in 1974. I have four beautiful children, Jeremy, who also lives in W.A. and Timothy who lives here in N.S.W. where I'm on holiday. My daughters, Susan and Diane, live in England. I also have 8 lovely grandchildren and one great-grandson. I love travel, writing and artwork. In the last decade, my writings have changed to praise and worship as I've come to know and love Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. He gives us love, joy and peace in great abundance.

No Comparison

No life my friend compares
With the beauty of the Lord,
No jewels, no gold nor silver shines,
Like the love of Him adored.

So much remains a mystery,
His work tells us so,
But it is by faith we understand,
And know which way to go.

I pray then as you read these words
Your heart is soft and tilled,
So that the seed which God will plant
Will grow to do His will.

God, Jesus and Holy Spirit,
All miraculously one,
God is calling you my friend
Through your Saviour, God's own Son.

Seventeenth of February

I feel dear Lord to pen some praise
To You, my Lord and King,
I pray my mind and pen unite
To give You praise for everything.

First of all I thank You Lord
For this sunswept retreat,
Where minutes make the hours dear Lord
And my time with You is sweet.

I praise you Lord for the gulls,
Which strut across my path,
The magpie's call, the rustling leaves,
And the kookaburra's laugh!

The trees my Lord possess
such a majestic height,
Lending shade on sunlit days,
And a shelter for the night.

All glorious glory Jesus to you,
So cherished was that time,
Spent beneath the trees my Lord,
When my heart with yours entwined.
