Clergy Reflection June 22

Sometimes words fail us.

There is so much, that one line of thought seems impossible. So we turn to the words of others as a focus and gift. Enjoy. 

Magnificent morning meadows sunshine melts the mist
          Glistening gloriously upon the green blades of grass

          Bringing bountiful breathtaking beautiful blooms
          Making mystical morning meadows romance

          The Grackles graze gardens gladly grown
          Divine Doves dress in dazzling feather’s

          Robin Red Breast rummages ravenous
          While winds wage warnings of
          Wrathful weather

          Summer still sings softly a sweet serenade
          Gloriously growing gracious gifts of God

          Happily honoring the hands of time and it’s hours
          Sizzling sunshine and sprinkles
          Satisfy the sod

          Magnificent morning meadows still marvel
          At Summers sweet signs of sylvan serenity

          The trees tell us of a truthful tomorrow
          Enticing elegant Elms
          Towards Eternity

          Summer Days & God’s Grace Filled Ways
          By Theodora Onken
