Forevermore

Standing and lifting eyes upward

Asking for help

But, from where will it come?

 

Reading from a cherished Bible

Finding the words

Of a patient and gracious Lord

 

Humbling images of God’s plan

Creating the heavens

As well as the earth

 

Feeling the grace of God

Providing shade

At one’s right hand

 

Sleeping is never His wish

Watching over

His people at every moment

 

Praying to a compassionate Lord

Listening now

His words bring comfort

 

Protecting us at all times

Witnessing Him

Forevermore

The background for this poem comes from the Bible; see Psalm 121.

With God’s Grace

Another year has finished its journey, forever gone

What will a New Year bring that is never wrong?

As this New Year thoughtfully begins

Resolutions will be thought of once again

Why do people make such a list?

Few will seriously bring much bliss

Perhaps we all harbor the very best at last

As another year brings us a hopeful blast

The number and depth of resolutions is wide

All look unique and amazing, to never hide

For myself, I have a few in mind to hopefully soar

But for me, less written is always easier to score

Here are three simple goals for 2019 to be able

Faith, family, and health will always be on my table

Each requires some effort on my part

But the journey will be worth it to start

With God’s continued grace for each one

My bucket list will be filled and nicely done
