A New Life, A New Beginning

A New life,
Growing within me,
A new beginning,
For all to see.

A hope, a dream,
Growing within me,
A new chapter,
For my family to be.

A blessing,
But also a burden,
An endless joy,
But also many a tear.

Lord, hold me close,
Help me to breathe,
When I feel squeezed,
Help me to feel your love.

Amen

Faith is....

Faith is...

Knowing you have an eternal soul,
Holding fast to the Promise,
Of God.

Sometimes your mind is fuzzy,
Your heart is achy,
And your soul is tired.
But you cling to the Promise,
Of God.

Sometimes your body is broken,
Your arms are heavy,
Your legs collapse,
But you hold fast to the Promise,
Of God.

Everlasting to Everlasting

From everlasting,
To everlasting,
You lead me on.

Hands, outstretching,
Hope, overflowing,
You lead me on.

Love, overwhelming,
Grace, over-reaching,
You lead me on.

Mercy, ever-enduring,
Wisdom, ever-generous,
You lead me on.

Holy Lord

You are Holy Lord,
You reign eternally,
You hold us gently,
In the palm of your hand.

You keep us,
You clothe us,
You bless us,
And nourish us.

Thank you Lord,
For Your goodness,
For caring,
For giving.

To Create

To create -
Expressing your inside ideas and fears,
Your hopes, dreams and things that bring you to tears,
Moulding, sculpting you as you progress,
Through all the growing years.

To believe -
That one day your goals will be achieved,
Your God will hold you when you grieve,
Your heart will experience joy, love and cleave,
To the One who provides, loves and hides,
You in His arms.

To Encourage -
Uplift those around you,
Keep them in your prayers,
Listen to their worries, woes and joys,
Be a good friend  - always willing to lend,
Your ear and give of your heart.

Gleaming Eyes

When you look at me with your dark, brown pools,
My heart melts, and a tiny shiver re-affirms my love,
What a joyous thing, to become a Mother!

I didn't think I could feel with every inch of my being,
With the strength that I do,
An amazement that spreads into a gleaming smile,
And dissipates into an all-encompassing hug.

You are forever in my thoughts,
Each day, I discover new meaning,
While you discover new words and feelings.

True inspiration comes,
When your mind, heart and soul,
Combine into one thought, one whole,
Thank you, my son, for this wonderful journey.

A New Time - A New Beginning

I look forward,
Never back,
To a new time,
A new beginning.

A time where happiness flies,
And joy presides,
An ever-happy ending,
An ever-changing tide.

A life of meaning,
Not deceiving,
A complete state.
Of being -

A new beginning
