With every rising tide
Life’s uncertainties hide
Darkness fueling mistrust
Tomorrow must adjust
Patience growing thinner
Emptiness serves dinner
Desires searching for peace
Light waiting to release
Stillness fills morning’s air
Hope replaces despair
Bitterness losing strength
Gentleness at arm’s length
Shadows fading away
Harmony finds its way
Heart dances with delight
Weariness taking flight
Destiny’s honest steps
Truth knocking at doorstep
Trust anchored, full of love
Unlocked grace shines above
Never feeling any shame
Proud of family tree
Born and raised in backwoods
Harmony plays for free
Filled with daily confidence
Travels always remind
Heart remains in backwoods
Throughout each daily grind
Landscape’s refreshing waters
Muted by midnight train
Life wrestles in backwoods
Creeks rise with blessed rain
Sweet corn ready to harvest
Lessons from lifetime’s love
Light searches from backwoods
Sunrise witnessed above
Front porch needs fresh coat of paint
Always be home to thee
Memories of backwoods
Destiny’s breath born free
Gentleness of sunrise
Balance breathes again
Sharing wonder of light
Landscape sings “Amen”
Another soul wakens
Patience gathers near
Offering way homeward
Today, never fear
Joy softens hardened heart
Grace deals one more hand
Playing out game of choice
Hope’s journey shall stand
Waves of freedom compose
Tomorrow’s high road
Navigating with trust
Life’s spirit reloads
Harmony overcomes
Each moment to prize
Uplifting from heavens
Tender at sunrise
Journey always homeward
Strengthened with each sunrise
Leaving embers of darkness
Visions of tomorrow’s prize
Faithful compass leads on
Surrounded without light
Rising to face each challenge
Perseverance maintains flight
Soul’s courage reaches out
Destined to discover
Marching to harmony’s joy
Another hour uncovers
Tranquility’s campsite
Filled with memories past
Inviting blessed night’s rest
Single dream forever lasts
Harmony
Within
Spirit alone
Another believer trusts
Embracing solitude’s bold silence
Peace
Goodness
Within
Father’s presence
Surrounded in reverence
Welcoming prayer’s daily rendezvous
Love
Promise
Within
Christ’s light
Nourishing faith’s resilience
Resurrection of deliverance rises
Hope
Every single person you see today was created by God and for His pleasure. Each one is a gift. Pay attention to the people you meet, talk with them, pray for them, and encourage them.

Fulfilling vision
Hope offering her hand
Empty canvas finished
Nature’s spirit commands
