Flickering Lights

Flickering Lights

From the outside looking in
A church stands in my view
greeting outsiders with peace
and welcoming lights...
Soft and dim.

From a darkening night
I now stand in delight
As the flickering glow
Silently calls me-
Inside I shall go.

I walk toward the entrance
Not feeling afraid
As God guided me to
A prayerful place
Where hymns are joyously played.

Melodies on strings
Everyone sings
With a candle in each hand
This is where I belong
United with my Christ family
in faith,true light and song.

May God hold each of us
as a candle in His Hand
to guide others still in darkness
to His Sanctuary...His promised land.

Friendship- Dedicated to Roseann

Friendship

I will always remember long ago
walking in the months of Fall
Sidewalks filled with colored leaves
Crisp air would swirl them around-
Whimsical winds made a thrilling sound.

I remember the scents of the air
Earthy,rich and fragrant
While I walked here and there
To the park-with my friend
Who made me laugh and grin
Her friendship was answered prayer.

Autumn remains special to me
For the memories made of being joyful and free
I will always remember the changing leaves
that will forever swirl around our friendship
Coloring the grounds of our destiny.


My best friend was born in the Autumn months and this poem
is dedicated to her .
