Winter’s Steady Quest

Morning sky awakens

Peace fills nature’s outlook

Landscape’s fresh, white blanket

Winter’s cozy look

 

Horizon full of gray

Light tries to brighten

Sun waits for tomorrow

Winter’s grip tightens

 

Hope’s disappearing breath

Tranquility’s free-fall

Each snowflake multiplies

Winter’s sudden squall

 

Wind churns with whitest sky

Brief storm now taking rest

Clouds open with sunlight

Winter’s steady quest

Deep Roots

From Job 14:7-9:  “For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again and that its shoots will not cease.  Though its root grows old in the earth and its stump dies in the ground, yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forth branches like a young plant.”

Born with innocence

Nurtured by mother’s love

Filled with newfound wonder

Shadow of Christ above

 

Tomorrow shall wait

Savior’s love comes this day

Nourished through grace from God

Faith follows hope’s walkway

 

Peace fills daily breath

Sprouts from living waters

God’s love feeds faith’s deep roots

For each son and daughter

 

Age gathering years

Yet, spirit remains strong

Love nourishes outlook

Christ writes salvation’s song

 

Joy fills every day

Darkness fades into light

God’s Word speaks of His love

Righteous faith knows what’s right

From Psalm 1:2-3:  “But their delight is in the law of the Lord, and on His law they meditate day and night.  They are like trees planted by streams of water, which yield their fruit in its season, and their leaves do not wither.  In all that they do, they prosper.”
