A cross for you,
A symbol of your
sacrifice
A cross for me,
A sign of my devotion
Across the veil
To the place beyond
To bathe together
In everlasting love
We’ll reach our God,
In heavens palaces
Leaving our bodies,
Heavy like stone,
And take flight
On angel’s wing
And bathe in His glory
Omnipresent,
Omnipotent
Omniscient being
Ever present,
All powerful
All knowing, all
seeing
Awesome,
Ubiquitous God
Of our spiritual
wellbeing
Of everlasting life,

In the quiet moments
I can’t remember my father’s
face
I try and try but it
escapes me
It seems to shift in
my mind’s eye
Snippets of familiarity
Many facets blurring
into one
Almost pixelated image
Until now I’ve never
understood why
It’s because in my
memory
He had more than one
face
There was the proud
father face
The joyful Christmas
morning face
The grumpy morning
after face
The scolding face
The smiling face
The sad face
And for each of these
faces
As we both grew older
There were age groups
He had to many faces
to remember just one
So now when I want to
see his face
I think of a situation
and there he is
When Mother Nature dons
Her spring gown of
splendour
She decorates with
beauties
Normally reserved for
heaven
And bestows upon the
earth
Those perfect gifts
from God
