Let Me Hear Again

Let me hear again your sweet voice

and the subtle sound of your gentle laughter.

Oh, to again see your smiling face would

fill my heart with awe and wonder.

And to once more take a quiet stroll

together along the old field road

while enjoying the quietness of the eve

as blows a soft summer breeze.

Oh, to also sit quietly by your side

while the day peacefully transforms to night.

Soaking in the warmth of your love

as tender moments silently slip by.

How I wish I would have known

that was the last time we would speak on the phone

chatting away below that silent, watchful moon;

how I regret hanging up too soon.

The only comfort I now have is

a picture in my heart and soul

of you living a wondrous life

tending to the Lord’s beautiful garden

in the realms of God’s heavenly kingdom.

Decima Poem: The Lord Gladly Shines

The Lord gladly shines with blessings on all who believe

when we do not stumble into the destructive ways

of the world’s greed, lust and distracting displays.

And when we don’t succumb to the flesh’s sinful deceit

nor employ a hurtful voice of anger or mockery.

He shines with new revelation as we search and find delight

in letting His word and wisdom guide our earthly lives.

And when we ask Jesus, His Son and Savior, into our hearts

where he remains promising never to depart.

The Lord shines with eternal hope in the assurance of everlasting life.

Becky’s Haiku: Grace and Slip

Living in God’s grace;

his wisdom embraced to not

slip and fall away.

I just tried the latest Haiku challenge: It is a weekly poetry challenge in which you are given two words which then you try to include in your own Haiku poem creation. Here is the link: https://ronovanwrites.com/category/haiku-prompt-challenge/

Journey into AUTUMN

Aromatic and fragrant scents filter the crisp atmosphere

Underneath the vibrant gaze of the afternoon sun.

Towering oaks, elms, birches, and maples billow

Upon the wings of a flowing breeze.

Meandering through the ever changing forest

Now crowned in orange, green, and golden splendor.

The Quiet Gift

 

The commotion of the day

gently ebbs away

into the twilight eve and

descending darkness.

No more worries or

dilemmas to solve.

No more demands to meet

or deadlines to defeat.

No more explanations of why

or expectations you tried so

hard to satisfy.

Just a sweet time to

be with the Lord;

remembering his gentle word

to be still and quietly rest.

A time of thoughtful reflection

Of that day’s direction.

A time to overcome disappointment,

pain, and tears of sorrow

with renewed hope for tomorrow.

By sleeping beneath the Lord’s

silent yet comforting hand

until the sun rises again;

the gift of peace and quietness.

Remembering Dad

Merry blue eyes and laughter

Ever loving and caring father

Moments of quiet conversations

Of his life experiences and wisdom.

Retelling lighthearted stories of his youth

In fond remembrance of what he used to do.

Eager with friends and family to celebrate

Sharing his smile and love during the holidays.

Overworked in the fields and at the mine:

Filled with family duty to provide.

Days camping near a Hatfiield lake;

And fishing at a favorite place.

Determined to live and remain strong;

No longer on earth but alive in heaven.
