Morning sunrise greets

Another new day

Taking love forward

Rainbows without gray

 

Bold, positive steps

Encourage each day

Taking love forward

Spirit won’t betray

 

Heart finds harmony

Melodies all day

Taking love forward

Happiness shall play

 

Impatient clouds brew

Compassion saves day

Taking love forward

Life’s innocent way

 

Nightfall now arrives

Day finally sleeps

Taking love forward

Tomorrow will keep

One of my favorite songs is “If I Were a Carpenter.”  With lyrics and music composed by Tim Hardin, the song climbed the charts in 1966 when Bobby Darin recorded it.  Darin’s interpretation of the lyrics is filled with love’s theme.

Retelling His story

Filling with wonder’s peace

Becoming never old

Rekindling life’s new lease

 

Witnessing His message

Loving God with whole heart

Grasping forever’s grace

Walking with Lord’s fresh start

 

Retelling His story

Sitting near empty tomb

Sharing Salvation’s news

Lighting yesterday’s gloom

 

Tasting His Holy Word

Longing for heaven’s home

Hungering for much more

Breaking chains, free to roam

 

Retelling His story

Finding Jesus nearby

Seeking new mercy’s grace

Cherishing faith’s bullseye

This inspiration for this poem comes from the beloved hymn, “I Love to Tell the Story.”  One of any believers most blessed tasks is to share and tell the story of Jesus Christ.  Country singer Alan Jackson is a renowned Gospel singer, and he sings this wonderful hymn.  Enjoy.

No matter how many good deeds we’ve done or how many mistakes we’ve made, God’s love for us remains the same.

From Isaiah 49:15-16:  “Can a woman forget her nursing child or show no compassion for the child of her womb?  Even these might forget, yet I will not forget you.  See, I have inscribed you on the palms of My hands; your walls are continually before Me.”

He who becomes a brother to the bruised, a doctor to the despairing, and a comforter to the crushed may not actually say much.  What he has to offer is often beyond the power of speech to convey.  But, the weary sense it, and it is a balm of Gilead to their souls.

From 1 Peter 3:8:  “Finally, all of you, have unity of spirit, sympathy, love for one another, a tender heart, and a humble mind.”

Working through each of us

Nurturing Word of God

 

Building up each neighbor

Sharing love of Jesus

 

Calling each believer

Stepping into life’s void

 

Following Spirit’s lead

Willing to share burdens

 

Observing their struggles

Praying for others’ needs

 

Welcoming thy neighbor

Living in harmony

 

Thriving to gather time

Helping hands step forward

 

Making a difference

Walking in Christ’s footprints

 

Accepting each other

Teaching from Father’s Word

 

Comforting and helping

Showing love to neighbors

From Galatians 5:14:  “For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.'”

E. E. Cummings Quotes

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.

Love is the voice under all silences, the hope which has no opposite of fear; the strength so strong mere force is feebleness:  the truth more first than sun, more last than star.

E. E. (Edward Estlin) Cummings (1894-1962) was a gifted American poet, writer, playwright, and essayist.  Many regard him as one of the most influential poets of the 20th century.
