Bees, Bugs and Butterflies
.
As I watch the sun
Breaking through the clouds,
As I smell the rain
Soaking in the soil,
Dripping from the flowers,
The birds burst into song.
Let the naysayers be wrong;
The world is alive again,
Saved from the brink,
And no matter what we think
God is in His heaven.
Bees buzz,
Shiny beetles eat rose petals
And butterflies flutter by…

The Droplet

Water

Water gives life
And with it, we thrive
Cleansing, drinking
Its forms are many
Almost unending…
Rivers, lakes, seas
Even the tears we weep
As promises we make
And vows we keep
Or fail in our humanity
Whilst perfection we seek

Sunshine and Rain
.
Rays of sunshine reach down below
And the foliage beneath ever upward grows
Wisps of white float on high
Cotton wool clouds feather the sky
Cool the heat where shadows fall
Sip up moisture for rain to pour

Help
.
O Lord, our Father
Only You can change this earth
From negative to positive
Let us construct not destruct
Advance not retreat
Back and forth and round about
You are our axis
Nothing stands still
This world whirls around your wlll
Open our eyes to realise
We are nothing without You
You are the sun, the moon, the stars
You are creation, and all is in motion
To bring us back to You

Complete

You are my strength in weakness
You are my comfort in sorrow
Yours is the wisdom that I follow
You died on the tree to complete me
