The Face Of God

.

“To love

another person

is to see the

face of God.”

~ Victor Hugo

face

look to

fight to win

see what is ahead

confront

love is in the air

the atmosphere is pleasing

beautiful people

a gleeful wedding party

everyone has the feeling

.

Poem:

.

every thought is a prayer
a question or an answer to declare
no need to kneel beside the bed
close the eyes and clear the head

gratitude must be a part of the morning prayer
identifying, trying not to compare
challenging a faith that comes and goes
a soul that doubts what others propose

my whole life has been a wish and a prayer
the outcome, I deem, has been unfair
in God’s time all prayers are answered
like wildflowers his blessings scattered

it is alright to borrow someone else’s prayer
knowing that a prayer will go everywhere
some may receive its benefits, some may not
what is nice is that you gave them a thought

be careful what you pray for,
you might just get it

God Is Awake

.

“Have courage for the

great sorrows of life and

patience for the small ones;

and when you have laboriously

accomplished your daily task,

go to sleep in peace.

God is awake.”

t’s crossed, I’s dotted

accomplished

the harvest complete

and ready for Thanksgiving

fall foliage on fire

Poem:

.

whatever did I do
I thought I was being nice to you
maybe you didn’t hear me right
I’m supposed to be your white knight

was it my tone of voice or the words I used
for whatever reason I am confused
please tell me what am I supposed to do
I will do anything that I must go through

don’t know what I did so I can’t say that I’m sorry
I’m chasing big game emotions like I was on a safari
to play your guessing game I am requesting a hint
maybe it’s something that rhymes with peppermint

could be that I forgot to take out the trash
we needed milk, I forgot to leave you the cash
did I strand the kids at the soccer field
I quit, too many landmines on this battlefield

she confessed there was no reason for her blowup
for her the best part was to kiss and make up
