When the wind howls through the trees
Or sunshine sparkles on the sea
When autumn leaves twirl in the breeze
Or snow paints a winter dream
Take these moments
To breathe in deep
The goodness of the God
Who made all you see

The Cherry Tree
I find You by the cherry tree
When I’m sitting on the rock
Your Word in my hands
Bright sky above
Prayers rising
Whispered
Cried
And sung
The evening fades
To darker shades
And the stars appear
Up I gaze
To the One who made all I see
I find You by the cherry tree
Birds are Singing
The birds are singing
I want to sing along
Climb a tree & rest on a branch
Breathe in the vast, blue sky
Like fluffy clouds dancing on high
Perhaps if I spread my wings I could fly
But something tells me
I better not try
The Sky Has a Song
The sky has a song
The birds sing along
And clap their wings to the beat
The clouds dance
As the wind blows
Whistling through the trees
Story of a Girl
A little girl
Grew up one day
And through the years
Forgot to pray
It seemed so simple
How much did it change?
When God already
Had it all arranged?
Her heart drifted down
Wide paths that were new
And how quickly the past
Slipped from her view
She began to wonder
Is His love still true?
Was there hope for her
Though hope was not due?
She longed for her
Innocent
Childlike
Faith
When she knew God
And she knew
She was safe
She closed her eyes
Could she still pray?
Would He listen to her
After she’d run away?
So many sins
Her heart did bear
And yet she knew
That God still cared
Surely He was still out there
She whispered
Her prayer
Into the breeze
And hoped
It would drift
Higher than the trees
She closed her eyes
And gently breathed
The fresh air of early spring
She heard a bird
Begin to sing
And the laughter of children
In the distance ring
The years began to come undone
Every sin she’d committed
Overcome
By the precious blood
Of Her Savior’s love
Born again
From above
She felt what she hadn’t
Felt in years
God’s presence once again drew near
And washed away
Her guilt and fear
The future looked so bright and clear
Much the like the childhood
She held so dear
Yet life could not be the same
The lessons she learned
Had shaped her faith
She knew
The depth
The height
And length
The love of God
None can equate
She found His endless
Gift of grace
A little girl
Came home to stay
And here her story
Will grow each day
As she bows her head
And humbly prays
Dear God
I’m Your
Little girl
Always
In the Peaceful Night
Through the window I see
the moon in flight
Hiding behind the trees
It’s full
It’s bright
Overcoming the darkness with light
I see the clouds
Fluffy
Faintly
White
The neighborhood is sleeping
In the peaceful night
Dreaming till the sun will rise
