MORE THAN JUST WORDS
What if the blessings that we send
In cards and into cyber space,
Were not just wishes to a friend?
But, touched by God’s Amazing Grace,
Were given breath of life through prayer,
Like candles springing into light,
To ease the troubled minds of care,
To cast away the shadowed night.
What if our hearts, so filled with love,
Could beat like wings across the plains
And land so softly like a dove,
With feathered warmth to soothe the pains?
No scripted verse, commercial, trite,
Could hold the Love of God we share,
By God’s own hand we get it right,
The Spirit speaks, we are aware,
Of things beyond ourselves, above-
The Endless Mystery of Love.
