Once Again

I had to do so much yesterday I went to three stores to get everything I needed for the week. It seemed the whole thing started again to catch up I will post another poem. This one was actually written as a song. I submitted it to an e-mag under their “songs” category I was told it wasn’t a song. Perhaps the three churches that had it in their list of hymns would be of another mind on the issue.

AT DAWN

At dawn I cry out to my God,
Before I face the breaking day.
I offer up my songs of praise,
And thanks for all His plans today.

In morning light he shows to me,
Steps I’m to take along the way.
So I may joyfully follow Him,
when mornings start with time to pray.

Today is not going as well as I would like. I would most likely write nothing today but I would hate to drop out of the commitment to write to the blog daily. So now is the time to start putting some of my poems in my blog the obvious place to start is the first poem I ever had published.

GOLDFINCH

On hillside grew a thistle
Filled with ripened seed
Festooned with silken plumes
God’s provision, lowly weed

A pair of goldfinch
Attracted by purple crown
Stood on thorny blossom
Finding seeds beneath the down

Neath the colorful petals
Uncovering tasty seeds
In joyful abandon feasted,
At banquet form a weed

True to his promise, God provided
Birds of the air all they could eat
Together they sing their praises
Thanking God from banquet seat

Never hungering, with no worries
Trusting God for all their needs
Enjoying what he provided
Dining on their feast of seeds.

This poem was written because I was waiting for the mechanic to come for a car inspection. I was early he was late. I was doing some reading and listening to “Bach by the Beach”. I loved that tape but I guess I played it to death. It is gone now.  Well while I was just sitting there I got a very close look at the goldfinch eating the thistle.
