Come Apart, Rest awhile with me, away from the noise and hustle, content to simply be. Share your regrets, hopes and fears, your dreams and every need, give your whole self to me. Absorb my presence, the wonder of my love, then you will learn of me. Be filled with my peace, restored through myContinue reading “Come Apart”

Come and receive the gift of Christ within, the love of Jesus calls each one to him. All  that we need He willingly  supplies, He knows our every thought and heeds our cries. As we receive His love which satisfies, it flows through us to all who are close by. Wonder and awe that suchContinue reading “The Gift”

Cold and sparkling comes the dawn on a frosty winter’s morn. Piercing wind blows down the street chilling everyone it meets. People scurry here and there past the gardens blank and bare. Hearing just a lone bird sing looking for food, anything. Seeds and plants beneath the earth all lay dormant, death , not birth.Continue reading “Cold And Sparkling”

At Christmas He came As empty of self as a babe can be clothed in sweet simplicity. Trusting in loving arms of another, accepting all as friend and brother. Giving himself without thought of return whether accepted, rejected or spurned. God’s love given freely come what may to all humanity every day.

Can we ever say goodbye to those we love? either here on earth, or in heaven above. They may be close by or far away, but when heart touches heart, that’s where they stay. They are closer than breathing, a part of you, the gift of them self forever new, For all that they areContinue reading “Goodbye”

The sound of a child laughing at play who is safe, secure, happy and gay. New babe in your arms just after birth creating wonder, fulfilment, worth. The love of a husband and family, grandchildren climbing upon your knee. Sharing of time and talents with friends creating bonds that will  never end. Calm stillness ofContinue reading “Beauty”

Autumn catches us unaware, thoughts of winter suddenly there. A time of dying in the earth before the dawn of Spring’s new birth. Trees quickly change to golden hue, leaves fall gently on morning dew. Leaving a blaze of colour there, an endless carpet everywhere. Swirling softly in Autumn breeze as round about our feetContinue reading “Autumn”

Man’s inhumanity to man is today desolate and bare, unlike the teeming multitudes who were originally there. A sombre time in history of humiliation and pain, continual degradation, we remember the cost with shame. Each succeeding generation must be told of this time and place, of what so easily happens when there is violence andContinue reading “Auschwitz”

 At Christmas, birthdays,  or through the year, we keep in touch with those we hold dear, For to us they are special,  have become a part of all that we value within our heart. Each one has given us a part of their self, freely, generously, denying themselves. A link has been forged,  the chain’s becomeContinue reading “Dear”

As sisters and brothers  we live far apart that is in distance  not in our hearts. We come together occasionally it’s true, it’s as if the sun shines the sky always blue. Swiftly the time flies  the parting comes,   we return once more  to where we had begun. But whether together or far apart, thereContinue reading “No Separation”
