We Don’t Like
To Think Of Ourselves
As Cold
Unforgiving
Prejudicial
Or Judgmental

But I was up before dawn
When the tender last whisps of
The time of dreams slides west,
a 5 billion-year-old metronome.
The same, yet never the same.
A bird —a finch, I think— goes about
Her day, at peace, hunting, exploring,
Hopping from branch to branch
With an occasional single pure note
To let her mate know she still is.
The Earth breathes in and out,
A promise, a new day.
The mountains — the same, yet not—
Please me each time
The sun touches them again.
The world lives,
And so do I.
This is enough.

Son
Today with oil, water and breath
I watched the priest
Open the soul of a boy
To God.
As
Mine
Was
A long time ago
And many sins past.

Do not sin and betray the trust of your lover,
but if you have or if you do,
you must keep silent
and bear the burden
alone – forever

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I ran away, but then I found
That God would set me free.

It was an offense
but was it intentional? No!
and I’ve begged Her forgiveness
now that I know
In my haste and exuberance
a sin, unintended
and I prayed to the Lord
that this breach may be mended

Poetry challenge: Easter poem.
Christ willingly took upon himself your sins and mine that day.
In order that you and I would never pay what we deserved to pay.
In agony and pain He cried out ,”Father, forgive them, they know not what they do! ”
Even in death as His skin was scourged, His thoughts were of me and you.

Trust is a loaded word. Everyone should sit and dwell on it in the Presence of Jehovah until the true grasp of it makes you weep. Trust =based on truth, confidence, reliability, assurance Once you lose someone’s trust, it is next to impossible to get it back. Forgiveness, yes, but to trust again…
