Open Invitation
My Lord,
I extend my arms gratefully, saying
"I welcome you in today,
tomorrow
and always.
Shower me with your presence.
Butterfly
A butterfly-free flying,
Beautiful, full of radiance,
Admired by many.
A sign of breaking away
From old self and celebrating life.
No Umbrella For Me
Shield me not from the rain.
As the trees, plants and flowers thirst for rain,
I too, thirst.

My Strength Is Made Perfect In Weakness
He gives me the hope I need,
when it seems so out of reach.
He gives me reassurance,
when doubt screams in my head.
He fills this emptiness,
when void echoes loneliness.
