Crown of Grace

August 23, 2018Vonita 10 Comments

Strangers have a lot to say

Unkind words thrown straight at me

I felt them fly I felt them fall

Right at my feet and there they lay

I just stood calm and let them come

Surveyed the crumbs across my way

I decided there and then

And one by one

To carefully collect them all

From those words thrown at my face

I weaved myself a crown of

Grace.

Candle Flame

As much as we’ve received

Let us share our gifts with grace

Our joy is like a candle flame

To light the eyes and face

Fruits of Grace 

April 26, 2017April 26, 2017Vonita 4 Comments

The roots of our love

Took hold

And slowly it anchored

Our life 

Threw good and bad

And up and down

And everything in between 

Over time 

Our love grew into a tree 

Bearing fruits of grace

Grace

There is a grace to be found

In the difficulty of each day 

For without the struggle 

There will never be 

Victory

Crystal Purity

Love like a dove 

Spreads its white wings

Over me 

I feel crystal purity

Showered with grace 

I have love

Peace, Grace, Joy

February 10, 2017Vonita 5 Comments

Peace to flow over me 

Peace to calm my storms

Peace to hold me tight 

And peace to fill my poems 

Grace to keep me warm 

Grace to heal my pain 

Grace to fill my need 

Grace to shine through rain 

Joy to bring a smile

Joy to honor me 

Joy to hold my hand 

And keep me company 

Joy, grace and peace

Intertwined to deliver us 

Into liberty

Free happy woman arms up praising freedom at beach sunset. Young

An Acrostic Poem

Prayers from my heart
Reach the One whom I
Adore and in his mercy
I receive love and grace
Supplied abundantly –
Everlasting peace

Church Bells

June 17, 2016June 17, 2016Vonita 6 Comments

Church bells in the city
Ring out so clear
Sounding out loud
Declaring to all the world
That Friday night
Upon us, is here

As sure as the sun will rise
Days will turn to night
Until we are faced
With the comfort and grace
Of church bells chiming
In the city, once more

Protected by grace
Against backdrops of the wise
Fresh hope springs to life
