When frustrations
In this day, appear
Instead of complaining
Let’s offer a prayer
When a soul comes to mind
We dislike or we care
Let’s cover them now
With a blessing of prayer
When our thoughts arise
Of worry or fear
Let’s give them unto
Our Lord, with a prayer
When we are bored
Opportunity here
To fill our soul
With the joy of a prayer
A practice this day
Of our lives to share
The love of our Lord
With the gift of prayer
Bring me to this moment
The soul to be aware
To be fully present
Right now, and right here
Bring me to my senses
To taste and feel and see
Of the abundant ways
That God is blessing me
Bring me to be grateful
For nothing I deserve
Let joy fill my heart
A turn to go and serve
Bring me to be humble
With His gifts to share
Reflection of His love
Shining everywhere
Though we try to appear
As a vessel of one
We are broken glass
By the sin that was done
All imperfect pieces
Edges that are rough
Of no use or value
Just not good enough
Heavens a mosaic
Bound with love and grace
Vision of an artist
Each piece has its place
It’s so beautiful
Through the light divine
How so brilliantly
The broken glass shines
Light upon water
That sparkles and shines
Captures my soul
Of drawing divine
Sometimes a thousand
Diamonds to see
Announcing a vison
Of Gods great glory
Or waves of moment
Of offer to lift
As beacons of light
Shares joy as their gift
Once in a while
Of pouring within
As a pool of light
Draws the soul in
All that I know
Is it’s drawing to pray
That moves me beyond
To shine the same way
Of advancing years
Morning prayers to subsist
I’ve come to be
A friend of the mist
Of water and field
Of dwelling to drift
From earth unto heaven
Of being to lift
A lesson of soul
Of a time to be
Of one to let go
When the Lord calls me
A lesson of practice
Of faith here to see
One of a moment
Or eternity
In fragrance of Spirit
All burdens to lift
To dwell in unthinking
Is such a gift
A willing surrender
Into serenity
To be of just being
A feeling so free
A Word of wisdom
Completely aware
To know in unknowing
It’s love that is here
An intimate moment
Of binding to share
In present of Presence
Of unspoken prayer
Return to the basics
A question of foundation
Who do I think I am
What’s my mind’s narration
Of how I view the world
The lens through which I see
Spurring thoughts and actions
My true identity
Take this thought to prayer
Let Spirits voice be heard
Aligning of the soul
To His holy Word
Repeating here this truth
Our grateful heart be blessed
You are my beloved
On you my favor rests
Into dawn of morning
The Spirit to reveal
But in the cold and dark
Nothing did I feel
Then a gentle movement
A gift of winds’ caress
With message of purpose
Of ways for one to bless
To move dark clouds along
To help with letting go
Of giving wings a lift
The joy of dance, bestow
In ways of the unseen
Movement of the Spirit
Drawing its stirring deep
Of gifts to go and share it
Hope within the light
Compassion, love, and care
Encouragement of Word
Of finding heaven here
Awakening into
The last light of night
A moments reflection
Of blessed insight
Two sides of the moon
Foreshadow the way
Of the passing night
And the coming day
An offer to soul
A choice of seeing
What will I be
In this new day of being
To turn from darkness
Cast away sin
To rejoice in the light
To shine your love within
Come here my beloved
Fall in my embrace
Allow me to gift you
A blessing of grace
To draw our hearts closer
Of love to outpour
To know you’re a treasure
And how much you’re adored
In arms of surrounding
May you find safety
A place of protection
Of peace cover thee
Found in the grip
Of hands holding tight
Are ones here to help you
And serve with delight
This blessing a glimpse
I hope that you find
Of the perfect blessing
From our God divine
