because I find things I wrote a few years ago...

The Power of


Imagine the sights of a scene

Of kings and queens all gathered round.

The sun ablaze and very warm,

The best thing on earth had been found!

It did not shimmer or sparkle,

Nor could it be cherished, measured.

Its essence wasn’t material,

But was worth far more than treasure.

It captivated royalty,

Reaching past the old boundaries,

Of wealthy souls and saints of old

To calm hearts from the stormy sea.

The young man touched the audience

As he cared for a hurting child.

Generosity was modeled.

His faith was able to run wild.

Tomorrow


Tomorrow’s secrets seem covered in haze.

Surprises lurk around every corner.

A brand new life is started.

Another begins to fade and is gone.

The world continues to spin,

Soaking in the splendor of the sun.

Blossoms bloom and grow.

Crystal water begins to shine.

The moon appears in the night sky,

And stars twinkle songs of joy.

But, the secrets remain the same,

All hidden from view.

The clues are subtle and sweet,

For mercy remains yet to be found.

The continuous movement of the day

Can make weary, even the strongest heart.

But the secrets of the dawn

Encourage one to press ahead,

For energy and renewal is waiting

Within the hidden joys of tomorrow.
