Markings in the Wood


" He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the written code, with its regulations, that was against us and that stood opposed to us; He took it away, nailing it to the cross." (Col 2:13,14)





Markings in the wood
Some from man's frailties
Some from the hand of God
Wish I understood
Things of humanity
Things of God
Maybe I never will
Could be God breathed
Could be my own
In my own weakness
I fall short continuously
I fall in the arms of God

Palm Trees




"Cherubim and palm trees were
carved on the wall of the outer
sanctuary." (Ezekiel 41:20)



Palm trees swaying in the breeze
On sandy beaches by the sea
With open arms you beckon me

Your lofty greens, a regal crown
Your trunk a scepter, velvet brown
You dance in nature’s flowing gown

With feathered branches light and airy
Your greenery makes my heart merry
You decorate God’s sanctuary
Oh precious swaying palms

A Tribute to Nature




Tall green reeds and grasses


Line the river banks


They call out to the masses


From all the earthly ranks.


Stand tall ye wayward greens


Salute the rushing waters


Pay homage to the scenes


Of they faithful sons and daughters.


For 'tis on the mossy hills


And the rocky winding paths


Mother Nature foots the bill


For the wanderer at last.
