Let Me Be Still

Let me be still 

with you

Subtle moments

As I sit, quietly renew

My body weary

My strength faded away

Help me to seek you,

to stop and simply pray


Ask the daytime 

to open up my eyes

As you bring morning 

to full light

Please help me

not rush to 

‘make each moment count’ 

What am I really striving for?

You are where my hope is found 


And as the daytime fades,

gives way to dusk

Sitting quietly

renew my heartfelt trust

Watching starlight,

seeing a firefly cross the night

Give me your spirit

as I stop, close my eyes


And pray -

Be still with me

Today.

“He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.””

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭46‬:‭10‬ ‭NIV‬‬

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” 

Jeremiah 29:13

The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge. 

Psalm 19:1–2

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

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

she called Him ‘son’

They called Him ‘teacher’ following from town to town  Others, the ‘king’  come to reign with a crown Some, 'healer', as he gave them  eyes to see  To me, ‘my savior’  shining his love down on me  But she called him ‘son’ Raised from the infant that pierced her womb She loved him before He was known to the world  She called him ‘son’ As her baby grew to a man Lost in the crowd In his father’s house finally found She followed closely As he began his great task She watched him love others She was there at the last  <breath> She stood in the shadows  Tears at the loss  Regardless of what was coming She stood at the cross Aware of his teachings She still remembered the babe That now hung dying She saw it all His birth, now the grave And she called him ‘son’ The king of kings The teacher The healer The one still her ‘son’. 05/11/25 clc “She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”...
