Poem Number - 'Special Living Day' - 1/1/2015

Lord God, we pray that you forgive us of all our sins,
We pray that you see your love within all our lives,
Lord God, we thank you for the life on earth you have given each of us.
It is within each of our lives that you have made each person special.

Lord God, we pray for eternal peace, love and understanding of each individual person,
We pray that as loving individuals we do not commit sins against anyone,
We pray all people's and anyone's belief s in their own religion are united as one,
We pray for anyone's so called, 'enemy' to become our own friend.

Lord God, we pray that people listen, learn and give time to your 'Holy Word'!
We pray that our politicians, church/religious and community leaders, preach the 'Right Words',
We pray that all people around the world are given food and fed daily,
We pray that the one that can give: can give from their heart, rightfully.

Lord God, it is for you only that we live and breathe,
Lord God, is for you that we pray from the New Year: for your 'breath of life',
Lord God, we pray for others that don't have time to pray,
And finally, Lord God, we pray you make all of our lives happy in every special living day.
Amen

Poem Number 290 - The Beaut Powers Of God - 26/5/1988

Icy waters that melt the crystal snow,
The animals eat what's left, little on tree branches,
Till the sun glows down to unfreeze them,
Let the air  blow lightly amongst the woods.

The springing of coloured plant of nature,
The untouched early morning dew appears,
To bring to birth of the whole earth's complete softness,
To reign forever, the beaut powers of God.

Let the sweetness of soft classical music be heard,
To be jollying around outside in a huge herd,
Stop the tears of sadness flow,
To see appear the happiness of smiles and cheers grow
