ON THE WINGS OF A PRAYER

Just close your Eyes and open your heart,
And feel your worries and cares depart.
Just yield yourself to the Father above,
And let him hold you secure in his love.
For life on earth grows more involved,
With endless problems that can't be solved,
But God only ask us to do our best,
Then he will take over and finish the rest...

So when you are tired, discouraged and blue,
There is always one door that is open to you,
And that is the door to The House of Prayer,
And you'll find God waiting to meet you there.

And The House of Prayer is no further away,
than the quiet spot where you kneel and pray.
For the heart is a temple when God is there
As we place ourselves in his loving care.

And he hears every prayer and answers each one
When we Pray in His name - Thy will be done.
The burdens that seemed too heavy to bear
Are lifted away on the wings of a prayer.

Heaven : 1) a place somehow high above the clouds, and yet deep inside your soul; 2) a place of complete peace and of total and utter happiness, 3) a place that is greater than the sum of everything you will ever be or could ever imagine to be; 4) a place we all want to get to, but not just yet...

~Mark D. Sanders & Tia Sillers~

"To dream anything you want to--
That is the beauty of the human mind.
To do anything you want to--
That is the strength of the human will.
To trust yourself, to test the limits--
That is the courage to succeed."
---Lindsey Smith

Nature's Essence
By Tiffany Gamache

The sun sets
Falling far below the horizon
The pale moon fills the night sky
Stars come out of hiding
So bright
So beautiful
Like angels watching our every move
A cool mist settles upon the deep blue sea
Sand swarms around like powder
Waves roll in just far enough to touch the dry land
They tumble back out just as gracefully
The enchanting darkness seems almost eternal
The night is alive
It grows with every movement, every whisper, every echo
And only continues to grow as the sun begins to rise
Beaming its radiant light
Waving good-bye to the night
Bringing out the morning once again

I Asked the Lord to Bless You
Author Unknown

I asked the Lord to bless you,
as I prayed for you today,
to guide you and protect you
as you go along your way.
His love is always with you.
His promises are true.
And when we give Him all our cares,
you know He'll see you through.

So when the road you're traveling on
seems difficult at best.
Just remember I am praying,
and God will do the rest.

Human Perspective
By: Bob Mottram
A pulse of light
penetrates the darkness
lobsters, rising from clouds of silt
are caught by the photon wave
the diver pauses to wind her camera
an act of reverence, played out in silence

Cherish The Moments, vertical poem by Samantha Glashaw

C atch me if you can
H allowed grounds where I ran
E nding of my childhood
R an as fast I could
I s this really the end?
S ame rules I now can bend
H ush now, don't you cry
T otally caught in a lie
H ell you'll raise if you go
E nd is here, don't you know?
M ommy where are you?
O nward to my life new
M oments gone forever
E nduring my endeavor
N ever ever to be found
T o the singing of my sound
S oaring the sky is where
- I'm bound.
