There was
Only a sliver
Of a membrane
Exposing flesh to a
Brutal environment, with perseverance
The membrane hardened
To become the most
Exquisite
Shell
Tag protection
Divinely Guarded
Divinely guarded
Every day
Right beside us
Our angels stay
Invisible Hand
An invisible hand
Keeps me safe
From all the world around.
I am kept
And I am loved
By heaven’s light above.
Watch Over Me
For all my failings
Weaknesses and more
You are my strength
The one that I adore
I am your child
So Lord I pray
Walk beside me
Watch over me today
Shelter from the Rain
Bad news happened
No words to comfort
No songs of joy to sing
Only a storm that began
To fall its raindrop tears –
I pray for shelter from all pain
But if I am caught unsheltered in the rain
Please, dear Lord, shelter me under your wing
Oak Tree
In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Places.”
I would be
Under a tree
So I can sit in it’s shadow
Listening to the song of the birds
And the wind as it whispers its
Silent secrets softly
To me
