1.

I couldn’t make my bedroom church

reading psalms and Lord’s prayers

the light of my lamp and

the portion of my cup couldn’t

lift my soul mired in passions

and silence of the morning

the confessions couldn’t remove

my anguish of ages

nor the tears and cries strengthen

faith  hope  and love – the rock

slips the grip for enemies

within don’t halt my body

glues to the ground seeking

darkness of the womb and joys

ever restless the child doesn’t

grow  and the father  fails

in verses I can’t hide fears

my face I despise, can’t find

freedom from the chemicals

sprayed in the air and the smog

oppressing my breath, the sun

fails to keep the covenant

 ♥

wake up precious beauty,

as you lie inside my hand,

drops of tender gentleness,

await you in this land,

♥

open eyes, sweet baby,

there is so much here to see,

we're trying hard each night and day,

to make a better place for thee.

♥

breathe in air my loved one,

taste the milk that will sustain,

this life is full of sunshine,

and it's also filled with rain.

♥

So as you feel each droplet,

know that love is leading the way,

kiss the sun each morning,

hope will shine bright on this day.

♥
