A bookkeeper at Mt. Vernon, Fire and Rescue, Mt. Vernon, IN. I attend First Christian Church. I have taught Sunday School many years. I have played the piano at church for 57 years. My goal is to go into all the world. |
One Small Grain Of SandVast forces of water, oceans deepCan be considered so As being held in place by one Insignificant grain of sand. Established by a perpetual decree His Name is great in power and might. The sea may toss but it cannot pass A permanent boundary of sand. Coupled to others equally formed Hold back the waves that roar Placed there by God's discretion, One small grain of sand. |
A Quiet SongOnce, by chance, a quiet song drifted,Softly, it could hardly be heard, A light breeze lifted it, played with it, Instilling a moment of joy. I listened, just beyond reach there, Not much more than a hushed whisper, Like a spider's thread, in and out Of sight, comes and goes, now and then. All too soon, like a night vision, A cloud that floats across the earth, Vanish, disappear like shadows, Never to be heard again. |
As A Rose UnfoldingAs a rose unfoldingSoft to the gentle breeze Bent to greater beauty So is my love for you. Hidden between the garden And the stairway to the porch It's beauty must be sought for Or it unfolds sad and alone. As a rose unfolding Offers gentle peace and rest As a rose unfolding So is my love for you. |
