Shrouded in Mystery

Shrouded in mystery

The veils before our eyes

This unique moment in history

Gazing at a beauty none can surmise

All walking in the same direction

Moving closer with every stride

Working toward our world's perfection

Your shrouded light our only guide

Let Your beacon of love shine bright

Give life to the dead and sight to the blind

Lift our hearts from despair's dark night

And unveil Your radiance to all mankind

Waiting for Them

Oh how I yearn

     to see their faces

     to hold their hands

     to shower them with love

     to watch them grow

     to guide their path    

     to teach and learn from them

     to share their joys

     to comfort their sorrows

     to fight off their fears

     to feel their love

     to care more deeply than I've ever known

     to love them from within my soul

I am here waiting

     for your gentle smiles

     for your joy filled laughter

     for your tiny fingers in my hand

     for your endless questions

     for your thoughtful wisdom

     for your unique and magnificent qualities

     for your unassuming wonder

     for your unconditional love

     for your unmistakable connection

     for your soul fulfilling presence

     for your world changing existence

     for your light to shine upon my life

A Joyous Day

A joyous day is the light in my life

The milestones of my past

On my future paths it is cast

It leads me forward with radiance and courage

Optimistically I move ahead

My soul afflame with the joy it was fed

This joy is the soundtrack of my life

My heartbeat, my measure

My deepest, cherished treasure

Without this blessed means of connecting 

I would surely perish and lose sight of what's real

But His mercy has given me this gift - to feel
