Joy Abounding

Collapsed into my garden chair
Melancholy wrapped my heart
I cried out: Life’s unfair!
But, gray despair would not depart

More than sunshine met me there
Warmth flooded the depths of my soul
Sadness ran as did every care
Rays of Love’s Light made me whole

Brightness

 

Thought of a candle
Flickering away
It’s flame burning brightly
And holding no sway
