Early dawn has opened
her sleepy eyes with the
bright promise of a beautiful
new day.  She peeps over
the hills and touches the sea.  
She kisses the flowers with
her sacred light.  She forms
shadows.  And touches the
birds as they awake to sing
a new song.  The first light,
She is dawn.
Let love
Be for love’s sake
And naught else.  Not riches
Not fame or hidden agendas.  
But love.
My friends are so kind to me
Much more than I could ever be.
I’m blessed to have their friendship
So full, and rich, and free.  

When life is rough, they lift me up
And carry me ‘pon their shoulder.
How can I ever thank them
For being the torch holder.    

For me they hold a candle
When the path is dark or gray,
They hold the candle of pure love
To brighten up the way.
Each year a bird
Nested in my eves.
At times, I’d watch her
Through the leaves.
And to her young ones
She did cleave,
Until the time
When they should leave.
Home is full of memories
Pleasant, kind and sweet.
Thoughtful and endearing
with memories unique.
Among the celebrations,
‘Tis there you will find
Happy family gatherings
Of all sorts and kind.
Birthdays and holidays
With peace for the mind.
Home is a place of  rest.
The home is an ensign.
Wherever I am at the end of the day,
Home calls out to me.
For there, I am most comfortable,
Happy and carefree.

It might not be so fabulous
Like the many that I see.
But there’s no place like home;
And it belongs to me.
Seasons come and the seasons go
There is a time to reap and a time to sow
All things may change  under the sun
God don’t ever change, He’s the only One
Come what may, His Word is true
God will  keep His promises to you.

Men may fail us, great and small
The mighty mountains may crumble and fall
Friends may come and friends may go
But there is one thing you should always know
Come what may, His Word is true
God will keep His promises to you.
