Fireflies and whippoorwills
On summer nights of yesteryear
Bring to mind the thoughts so dear
Stored away in precious nooks
And kept in secret far from sight
Till in the evening late at night
With giggles and smiles and furtive looks
You share with those who mean the most
And by your sharing bind them close
To the secret places of your heart

Soft Light, Like Snowflakes
Soft light, like snowflakes
Falling through the air
Arriving on your window
Sees your sleeping there
Soft light, like snowflakes
Bid thee sleep in peace
Drifting on like sweet dreams
While all thy troubles cease
Aurora’s Light
Before the light strikes the rocky shore
And myst rolls up from the shadowy moor
My heart beats, a pounding beneath my chest
I pause as I look out on the foamy crest
And I listen to the sea and its deafening roar
As I watch the snow white sea gull soar
And wait for aurora’s light
Nostalgia
I walked along the rolling streams
And drank in deep of all my dreams
Life then felt rich, as rich as gold
Richer than the kings of old
Now it seems life’s frantic pace
Has robbed me of the gentle grace
That once I loved about those streams
That walked I by within my dreams
An Evening Prayer
Peaceful dreams and thoughtful streams of lilting water pure
Drifting oer the soft green moor in sweetest songs of yore
Wishing best and healing rest to thee of friendship fast
To wake the day with voices gay upon the green green grass
The Gift of Seasons
Summer days and Spring time flowers
Evenings filled with conversation
Autumn winds and Winter bowers
Mornings brimmed with anticipation
Of a future bright with naught to fear
And life to live with those held dear
These are gifts that God has given
Treasured with each passing season
Gifts for which the God of Heaven
With might by love for this His reason
That He might demonstrate to us
The wisdom of His sovereign love
Frigid Winter
Asleep beneath the frigid cover
Lies the fertile lover
Waiting for regeneration
Eager with anticipation
And wanting to extol
The hidden beauties of the soul
The Precious Gift
I look upon a snow white sea
At the crystal flakes on yonder lee
And nature whispers in my ear
The very hand of God is near
And I pause in genuflection
I consider His resurrection
And the birth that preceded
The precious gift that exceeded
The greatest gift that came before
So great it remaineth for evermore
The Rising Sun
See the rising sun today
peaking oer yon horizon
I ran towards it eagerly
to say hello and greet him
All around me myst did lie
Above the trees did hover
Hiding many treasured things
Beneath the soft gray cover
Then the sun did greet the myst
Bright in his crimson fashion
And the myst did run away
Before his glorious shining
Farewell said I to the myst
I’ll see thee on the morrow
For I greet the morning sun
Who takes away my sorrow
An Evening Lark
Outside my glistening window
While the evening darkens
I seek a peaceful slumber
And my glad soul hearkens
To the sounds of an evening lark
Summer Night
Among the green grass
A summer night sings sweetly
With sounds of crickets
