My Best Friend #Poem

My best friend is always near

Through life’s trials, turns and tears,

Helping calm the stress and fears.

My best friend is always near.

Speech or silence matter not,

Understanding never stops.

Right time, right place, on the spot.

Speech or silence matter not.

Love I seek and love I find,

Tender heart and open mind

In discernment ever kind.

Love I seek and love I find.

Any hour of night or day,

This one friend is here to stay

With a lamp to light my way

Any hour of night or day.

Deepest feelings, wishes, cares-

None too big or small to share

What support! Beyond compare!

Deepest feelings, wishes, cares.

Whether filled with pain or peace,

Faithful friendship doesn’t cease.

Learn to give as I receive,

Whether filled with pain or peace.

Who’s this friend so good to me?

Gentle, patient, spirit free?

Seek and find yours. Ask. Receive!

My best friend, in short, is Me!

After a Bad Day #Prayer #Poem

Today has been a letdown,

But it’s over! Thank you, Lord!

I pray tomorrow’s better

And my patience will endure.

I pray that when the morning sunlight

Kisses grass and trees,

It sends your peace and hope and love

Shining down on me!

And when tomorrow’s ended

As the gentle night begins,

I pray, whatever happens,
Help me turn to you within!

Amen.

When We Rise #Poem

When we rise

Do we realize?

Or is it just a new normal?

When we become enlightened,

Does the Light dawn?

Or is it simply another day?

When our knowledge yields to Truth,

Do we really know?

Or do we take it for granted?

When belief turns to awareness,

Do we awaken?

Or are we intimidated by its power?

O let us awaken!

Let us know beyond thought!

And let the Light dawn

As we realize

When we rise!
