august evening

Let God Feed You As He did for Israel’s children By bringing them manna from Heaven Let God clothe you- As he clothes the field’s lilies Who neither toil nor spin For their garments but They are far more richly attired Than King Solomon’s most glorious clothes Let God refresh you who restored Eliljiah the prophet who begged for death in the desert’s wilderness Instead God sent him angels and crows bringing two days’ worth of food Let God provide for you- As He provides for the smallest sparrows Who perch in the trees He still catches them When they die Let God care for you For He knows what Your needs are Before you can think of them @2003, 2005, 2010 Linda Barrett August Evening @2010 Linda Barrett In the eternal gilded August humidity You come to me Dressed in tiger lilies With your sunflower smile Your copper hair blows in a breeze Even if we stay awhile Our love still lingers But I must let you go My August treasure Your golden soul That I cannot measure Flies from my open fingers
