Before our day begins
Time to start performing
Take a step outside and
Catch a breath of morning
For a seed of beauty
A gift of the spawning
To dwell within the light
Catch a glimpse of dawning
Let it settle in
Worldly time to cease
In silence of the soul
Draw a taste of peace
Know that loves abounding
Blessings our God shares
With gratitude to offer
A whisper of prayer

Brother, would you please pray for my mother today? Her twin brother passed away this morning. I would also ask for prayers for his wife and kids (three of them).

Still You
Still raw is your passing
You’re in a better place
Your hope in gift of faith
Is answered by His grace
Still here is our sorrow
In random burst of tears
Drifting in our loss
Your emptiness felt here
Still in life’s reflection
The love to us you shared
We see your shadow cast
In many ways, you cared
Still we walk our path
With joy and sorrow, feeling
In prayer, we’ll be with You
A new way you’ll be healing
Still we’ll remember you
Etched within our heart
For now, your closer still
Through love that you’ll impart

Death Is Nothing
(Based upon a poem by Henry Scott-Holland)
Death is nothing. Nothing at all
It does not count. There is no wall
I’ve only slipped. In the room next
Nothing’s happened. Be not perplexed
As is the same. As was it be
You are you. And I am me
The old life lived. Together in love
Remains untouched. Unchanged above
Whatever we were. To each other
That we are still. And not another
Why should I be. Out of your mind
Just because. The eye is blind
As I am. I wait for you
So very near. Round corners view
All is well. Nothing is hurt
Nothing is lost. This truth assert
In moment brief. And all will be
As was before. Our joy to see
How we shall laugh. In embrace so sweet
When very soon. Again we’ll meet!
