Awake

Awake

Awake, awake, Oh Sleepy Trees
Your winter blanket slowly dissipates
A wildlife canvas stirs

Exquisite in flight, red-tail hawk soars
Reminder of the watchful eye of our Creator
Climbing ever higher, watching, waiting

Oh Sleepy Trees, stretching at dawn in the new day
Reaching for heaven on tippy toes
Evergreens follow your lead

Awake, awake, Oh Sleepy Trees
Bright and morning star comes
Sing praise, sing glory!

Overwhelmed

Your love is overwhelming
A tidal wave
A warm breeze
A mother's kiss

You catch tears
And wipe them with Your hand
A soft caress
A breath

You laugh with joy
At happiness
A giggle
A chuckle

You speak with thunder
Rumbling inside
A trembling
A quiver

Your word is fire
Bubbling up from within
A searing
A all consuming flame

Your love is overwhelming

Tapestry

Tapestry

Intricately woven as a colorful tapestry
I am
Colors and threads skillfully chosen
Expertly woven

Hands that fashioned earth and sea
Knit me
Gold and silver, red and blue
Purple royalty

Decorative and functional
I am
Created to bring love and joy
Tapestry I am
