One day I found
a tree - God made
full and leafy
perfect to produce shade
homes for birds
maybe a storehouse
for nuts
used by a resident squirrel
He made a living thing
of beauty
for you and for me
how magnificent
is God's tree.

There are days, years
when like the old stump
we feel weary
worn
but a stump still has beauty
is home for critters
little and small
as you read this verse
know that I am praying
that you will be renewed
by God, Himself
for indeed
you are more than
just a stump
you are His child!
He is Divine Love!
rejoice my friend
as do the angels
in heaven above.

The flower pot is blue
loneliness? or a sky type of hue
a simple pot alone
the table is empty and large
flowers bloom
even in the midst of gloom
life does abound
and above all, three roses
are to be found
roses for a sweetheart
yet calling forth thoughts
of divine love
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
does it tell a story that's true
ask the flower pot
the one this is blue.

A sunset is so very beautiful
what a pity
if there is no one there to see
how I wish
that special someone
could share
the beauty of the sunset with me.
In the gentleness of coming evening
before the sky turns to night
we glance at each other, so neat
as held hands become
arms holding in a gentle embrace
you are more beautiful than the sunset
are my thoughts as our lips meet.
God made the sunset, indeed He did
it was He, I do believe
who brought us together bit by bit
from the earth He crafted, created mankind
which has become both you and me
each day He gives sunrise, sunset
to be enjoyed together, by you and by me.

How dark the road may be
some say
it can be hard to see
but life's road can be the same
when the darkness
threatens to mute your light
even though to do so
just doesn't seem quite right
ahh, blessed is the man, woman
who has a kindred flame
to light the path
and give comfort in the dark
some have none
for them life can be stark
able to love
but not able to be loved
this is why God made
male, female
many on each family tree
but there are lonely ones
from them, love seems to flee.
