Always There

Always There


In my childhood joy
In the classroom and with playground fun,
Mom and dad taught me
I could rest or play
Knowing You were there.

In my teenage angst
From my junior through my college days
Though I turned my back
And ignored You, Lord,
You were always there.

During parenthood
Through diapers, high school, and college days
I could teach him love
I could trust, because
I knew You were there.

Now in my old age
In my elderly expectancy
You abundantly
Bless me every day.
You are always here!

Dichotomy

Dichotomy


Nourished through roots
Deeply imbedded in the Word
Allows branches to flourish,
Reaching towards the Light.
Living in obedience to Christ
Means freedom in life
As never before.

Life-overflowing.
