Hold your memories closeand he will be there,think of himand he will be there,tell of himand he will be there,like the quiet whisper of the wind,he’ll come,on the wings of a prayer. Cherish the times you hadand she will be there,share her stories,and she will be there,remember her laughterand she will be there,like the morningContinue reading “On the Wings of a Prayer”

Stepping into the Light
The darkness surrounds me,but I fear notfor I am not alone.My soul moveswith the rhythm of the universe;swaying,growing,glowing. ‘Come,’ it whispers‘step out,leave the darkness,join them;the angels,singing and shiningin all their glory’. I see the light,reaching outattempting to join mine;all the lightworkers,earth angels,swaying,growing,glowing. The darkness pulls‘Do not leavestay in the shadows;you are safe herewhere no oneContinue reading “Stepping into the Light”
Day’s End
And, as the days endcomes to a close,I lie awake and ponder;what will the year bring,an end to this Covid thing? I close my eyesand dream once more,of social gatherings;long-needed hugsand heartstring tugs. My mind wandersto the heroes of these days,those who keep us going;to all who have lost,theirs is the cost. Lockdown, stay home,keepContinue reading “Day’s End”
Child of the Light
The darkness chases me always,with an awful menacing might;though it may try to dissuade me,I will not let go of my light. For God’s love is my armour,His light my soul surrounds;His legion of angels assist me,as do saints with their haloed crowns. The light will shine through the darkness,chasing the shadows away;all my anxiety,Continue reading “Child of the Light”
Invisible Scars
There are scars all around,but none which you can see;for all of life’s strange markingsare deep inside of me. The voices cry out loudly,their sound is seldom heard;and yet I hear them clearly,can remember each and every word. The numbers are growing rapidly,I can see it in their eyes;the sadness cannot be hiddenbeneath the myriadContinue reading “Invisible Scars”
Throw Back Your Tears
Will you travel down the road of loneliness,or will you run down the path of love?Will you walk beside me in your journey,or walk on, and away with a shove? Do not disappear inside of your loneliness,for your loneliness can only bring pain;and, without having known some kind of love,you wouldn’t know it is possibleContinue reading “Throw Back Your Tears”
Peace Amid the Turmoil
The storm rages,reaching outward,ripping, tearing,causing havoc.But, in the midst of the stormthere is a quiet,a calm that centres,a peace to be found. Though angry words fly,armed only to hurt,meant to bring pain,they can’t break through.The wall is strong,a beacon from the soul,a light of love,to wrap yourself around. Fear not the trials,stand strong,hold fast,to faith,Continue reading “Peace Amid the Turmoil”
A Star Comes
A Christmas star cameto show the way,to where in a mangera baby did lay. He brought joy,an end to strifeand gave the giftof eternal life. He healed the sickand welcomed the poor;walked on waterand plenty more. The shepherds followed,the wise men came;to see a newborn king,not knowing even his name. The star shone brightfor allContinue reading “A Star Comes”
Peace Within
Turmoil surrounds us;sadness and despaircoiling their wayaround and aroundlooking for a way through. Our soul reaches out,shining brightto dispel the darkness;leaving a doorwayfor hope to enter in. Still, the darkness battles,ever trying to drag us down;ever looking for a wayto pull us out of ourselves,hiding joy from our view. But Spirit gently calls us,embracing usContinue reading “Peace Within”
I Shall Rise
When I’ve fallen,I shall rise;time and time again,to stand,stand in the face of defeatand try once more. I rise with hope in my heart,for hope is eternal;coming on the wingsof a promise;a promise of something better,something joyous. And when the enemy callsI shall shine;shine like the burning sun,full of hope and love;a warrior of ChristcastingContinue reading “I Shall Rise”
