Poetry & Prose ~ "The Eyes of My Heart"

Mom, the eyes of my heart will forever see,

            Just how special your love will always be.

Throughout the years you were always there,

            With gentle smiles and many heartfelt prayers.

Unwavering in your unconditional love for everyone,

            Your embraced us in the warmth of your love.

When the storms and trials of life came our way,

            You always had words of wisdom for each new day.

You freely gave of yourself to give us a better life,

            Putting aside your own desires, making many a sacrifice.

You laughed with us through the joys we shared,

            And cried with us showing how much you cared.

Now that you've gone home to be with our Lord,

            I know that I will see you on Heaven’s shore.

You are with that great cloud of witnesses watching from Heaven above,

            Cheering us on in prayer, surrounding us with your love.

           

From the depths of my heart, I thank you once again,

            For being my mom and for being my friend.

For it is the eyes of my heart that will always see,

            Just how much your motherly love means to me.

From your loving daughter, forever.

Poetry & Prose - "The Work of Your Hands I See"

In all of Your creation, it is the work of Your hands I see.

            Your fingerprints are everywhere, proclaiming Your majesty.

You hold the universe together by the power of Your spoken Word,

            And all of creation cries out in praise proclaiming Your matchless worth. 

When the morning sun rises and is ever shining bright,

            I am reminded that You alone are the light of my life.

When I gaze into the midnight sky and see the countless stars,

             Knowing You named them one by one overwhelms my heart. 

In the early spring when Your gardens burst forth with vibrant flowers,

            I see Your awesome wonders and I sense Your mighty power.

Rainbows remind me of Your everlasting covenant, Your promises forever true, 

             And what You have said in your Word, You are faithful to do.

  

Just like the summer rains that fall upon the desert sands, 

             Your love rains down on me and I am safe in the palm of Your hand.

 And just like the waters of the sea that needs the oceans’ shore, 

             Oh how I need your presence in my life,  I need You more.  

 Even in the midst of a raging storm and all hope seems to be gone,

            You fill my life with laughter and joy, my heart overflows with song.

In all of Your marvelous creation I see an intricate design and plan,

             I feel the power of Your love, and I see the works of Your mighty hands.
