Я вже вдома
Я вже вдома
Живу з Христом на небесах
як я ходжу тут, на землі...
 
Я вже вдома
Йдучи за своїм Спасителем,
Я живий з Христом...
Він викупив мене від смерті...

A Wellspring of Joy – v2

A rising wellspring of Joy,
a Hope for our Future,
Happy Warriors on the trail,
seizing the tide of momentum…
 
So much has changed, better,
than the path we were stuck on,
Joy has returned, Promise is rising,
for a brighter Future, a new Hope…
 
We must seize this moment,
this opportunity for correction,
a new way, a new path,
for our nation, this world…
 
A Blue Wave of Promise,
finding Hope for our Future,
life in its fullest, Freedom,
in this land that we Love…

God will bring us into the throne room – v3

God will gather us in, to heaven,
reaping us from this earth, this world,
God will bring us into the throne room
with Christ standing by our side…
 
God, our Father, of each prodigal child,
runs out to us, sends His Son, His Spirit,
to reach, to raise us from the mortal coil
God calls to us out on the road…
 
God, by grace, has washed us clean,
with the blood of our risen Lord Jesus,
God will bring us into His presence,
our loving Father will welcome us home…

A dogwood grew over there - v2

The front of our old house so sterile,
siding where clapboards were,
not like I remember it, alive, part of us,
stout bushes rising up to the windows,
verdant grasses, flagstones in the walk,
where there is now cement only,
curved where it was straight...
blue paint where there was white,
remembering scraping and sanding,
To get the painting just right…

The pool she always wanted consumed,
filled the back yard, where we once played,
a maple stood in the margin, the verge,
between the sidewalk and the road,
a dogwood grew over there, to the left,
a treasure of our mother, the blossoms,
tending her hens and chickens, edging,
crushed marble stones around its base,
her one jack-in-the-pulpit hidden,
Under the bushes, around to the right…

The dormer of my room - v2

Where my desk sat,
in the light, under the roof,
my imagination, my thoughts,
my homework, my first draft,
of a new translation, a bible,
new Good News, speaking to me,
within the dormer of my room...

Writing my papers, my homework,
that mom would inevitably type,
on great grampa's desk (that I still have)
tucked in by the window, by the light,
dark stain on the oak wood, richly,
my drawing, my dreams there with me,
within the dormer of my room...

The dormer of my room

Where my desk sat,
in the light, under the roof,
my imagination,  my thoughts,
my homework, my first draft,
of a new translation, a bible,
new Good News, speaking to me,
within the dormer of my room...

Yard Salad – v2

With an old newspaper
for a bowl, a plate and
water from the hose
for their salad dressing,
I saw them thinking, mixing,
working their collective talents,
it was all about the presentation…
 
Four junior chefs, gathered,
with ages from three to ten,
yanked and threshed a yard salad,
from the wet, rain drenched,
and shower fed field of weeds,
beside our in-town home…
 
Clover, dandelion, plantain
and grasses of varying length,
with dirt included bodily,
heaped on the makeshift platter,
stirred with pine and oak,
until they were ready
for their presentation…

Welcome the Stranger, the Other

Welcome the Stranger, the Other
 
Welcome the Stranger, the Other,
do not judge your Neighbor;
offer them hope in their darkness,
a place to call their own.
 
Show them love and mercy,
in your words, in your actions;
welcome the Stranger, the Other,
for you may be welcoming Christ…
