Morning Prayer

Lord,

I get lost

Fear comes 

And I surrender

Worn

And tossed

Like the seas

I meander

Through 

Each problem

I face

Another day,

Another fight

Please

Dear Lord

Help me

When

I question 

“Why?”


Why

Would you

Send your son

To die upon that tree?

Why 

Would you

Give his life

For a man 

Like me?


But more now

Will you

Help me Lord

As I’m 

Carrying this load?

Will you

Show me

The next step?

I just want

To know

Lord,

Show me 

where to go.


Still amazes me 

As sun wakes

The day starts 

To unfold

Each ray of light

Reminds me

Of how little

I truly know


That’s where trust

Is found

And it grows

In the light

Of your presence

I know.


Lord,

Thank you

For your love.

Marvelous Mysteries

Those  Marvelous mysteries Like sunlight above the trees Often we behold so many wonders Right below our nose  With a sigh Realize there’s so much to this life Hope seems  such a distant cause When in our thoughts  we find ourselves lost Looking so far  down the line That we stumble over the sublime At our feet In our grasp Miss it while  holding on to the past… <pause> If we can stop Take a breath Take solace in where we’re at I know it’s hard but gotta try There is more If we open our eyes… To those  Marvelous mysteries. 01/13/25 clc

In Mississippi

Wonder if her heart‘s  still in Mississippi? Whispering Pines go back in time Wonder if she’s missing? A little peace, piece of her soul Often times those are the hardest  places to let go Roots Run deep Life may twist and turn I wonder if she keeps Looking west To a place her spirit yearns  To be Oh Mississippi, I hope her heart finds peace I still say a prayer For her to be Back in Mississippi,  if that’s where she’ll find peace 01/14/25 clc

Like Winter Breeze

Subtleties Like winter breeze Cooling my insides Trying to let go Caught up in The memories  So many left Even if I know That time will bring her  Back to me Maybe just in a thought Hopefully, she remembers me Don’t have to wonder  ‘bout that Think I already know But the future Isn’t a Disney movie It’s often times More like losing And moving on Breath it in Think I already know See my breath On the wind Escapes, And then I breathe again It’s amazing How such a little gesture Seems to show It’s not just about letting go It’s also about Knowing There’s spring After the snow… Wake up heart Only God truly knows And we get so caught up Tossing to and fro Winter morning - Help my weary soul. 01/15/25 clc
