Special Note:  Sometimes my early morning time brings God’s Word into greater focus.  This poem walks through a day filled with His vision.

Waking up early on a darkened, rainy day

Unable to walk, disrupting my morn with gray

Turning off the news, craving a necessary break

Immersing in other blogs, with their unique take

Sharing thoughtful comments, here and there

Always reminded, so many people truly care

This stubborn mind stores much, obsolete clutter

Causing my mature engine to cough and sputter

Life’s music sometimes offers a stimulating tune

Witnessing other perspectives, into an afternoon

Discovering positive discussions, comforting my mind

Challenging me to see, steps lead to future grace to find

Life’s lens sometimes fails, entirely clouded over

Like searching for a four-leaf, in a field of clover

As a culture, broadcasting anew from many landscapes

Exchanging ideas, opening our lens to exciting escapes

Our Lord, fashioning in us a curious intellect to wear

Stepping out, witnessing life as others wish to share

Reading God’s Word, helping to clear the murky view

Seeing life through His lens, aligning honest and true
