Blessed gift of morning
Dawns in colors bright
Births a new creation
Cast within the light
One of which some souls
Will be the last to see
Let me live this day
As it could be me
A day to cherish love
Mercy quick to share
Grateful for all things
Daily cross to bear
Attentive to the little
To those on margins seek
Celebrate the moment
His joy through actions speak
Let this source of purpose
Arise from prayer within
Shining of the light
New creation here begin
A moment of breathing
Enjoy one to take
Gift of our life
We so often forsake
Deep of inhaling
Allow lungs to fill
Stress of exhaling
Along with the will
Take then another
Repeating the task
Prayer now to enter
In Giver to bask
Grateful for being
Surrender control
His song through the Spirit
Gives life through the soul
Sprinkled ‘round the home
Photographs are framed
Memories of love
Moments that we claim
Souls of many faces
One which time has past
Captured in a moment
In our heart they last
Blessings of our God
A touching grace bestowed
Placed within our path
Purpose that He knows
Flashes of His light
Mold the soul above
Treasures of the keeping
Moments of true love
Oh how my heart is broken
My best friend here no more
Path entwined has ended
Don’t know what’s in store
Eyes close in the hurting
Where I find you inside
A whisper in the silence
Word from the other side
Oh my love, I miss you
I long for you to know
In my embrace to comfort
Dwell in the afterglow
My earthly passage ended
From human cocoon free
Awesome is the beauty
I long for you to see
Some wisdom from beyond
Let all fear dissipate
In light of perfect love
For here my love, I’ll wait
A pause along the way
To spend some time with You
You surprised my soul
With vision beautiful
Postcard of the framing
One Rockwell would paint
Wholesome in its goodness
Song born of the Saints
Sitting in reflection
As smile warms the heart
Multiple dimensions
To unseen, soul departs
A glimpse behind the door
Of one day that will be
A vision beautiful
To fully be with thee
Love so vast and infinite
Unconditional and true
One so ever patient
Waiting here for you
Depth without an ending
Intimate beyond
Mercy ever flowing
An everlasting bond
Simple in acceptance
Joy embracing you
Welcomed into Presence
Light here bursting through
An embrace of comfort
Faith upon the way
Answer of our seeking
Awaits you here this day
In the eyes of lifting
Across the clear blue sky
With souls upon a journey
A plane was passing by
Each a different mission
Work or pleasure be
Given each a calling
Seeking desperately
Spirit guides direction
Offering a way
To align with God
Word He wants to say
Prayer is offered here
That they will listen true
Building of His kingdom
To see the grander view
People of the calling
Gather to Your place
Blessed in their receiving
Gifts of precious grace
Forgiveness of forgiving
Before You now confessed
Clean heart of the washing
Give what we’ve been blessed
Bread of gift of giving
Abundance without end
Miracle of seeking
To the lost we sent
Give of love of loving
Eternal treasure be
One of all souls seeking
Bonds all one in thee
Father of the Holy
Bless this moment be
Your love is all I need
This truth please let me see
One of no conditions
One which knows no bounds
One which of deep mercy
Place where all is found
May I give it all
Surrendering to You
May I grow in faith
Soul be birth anew
Desire drive my will
Only by Your grace
May I turn to You
Gaze upon Your face
Beautiful horizon
In the winters chill
Soft palette of color
Diffusing of my will
Trees are silhouetted
Etched upon the sky
Blue and pink are mixing
Calls souls to unify
Geese of morning honking
Frozen is the ground
Drifts of snow remaining
Barrenness surrounds
Sun of warm arising
Though vision let us pray
Emptiness of calling
In season of the way
