There are words and phrases from our Psalms series that stay with me, and that I hope to include in new poems, with references.
Mercy – “for his mercy endureth for ever”
Lovingkindness – “Cause me to hear thy lovingkindness in the morning”
before dawn
bird songs
in the yard
through an open
kitchen window
and I remember
to hear His
lovingkindness
in the morning
and I pray
may there be
mercy, love, and
kindness
in my heart
all day
