Thou wilt keep him
in perfect peace,
whose mind is stayed on thee:
because he trusteth in thee.

Offer unto God thanksgiving;
and pay thy vows unto the most High:
And call upon me in the day of trouble:
I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

John 6: 35 (KJV): And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger: and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Saturday afternoon
Saturday afternoon
some time to listen
to quiet music and read
sunlight fills a lamp
that is not needed now
and the light shines
on the wall with art
by people I know
who also offer light
beauty hope
From Psalm 119:
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
Psalm 119: 105
Perhaps because
perhaps because
it is Autumn
I think of my mother
the season when
her last illness
began many years ago
and the trees
outside her hospital
window
I read to her
from the Psalms
and poets she would
know from long ago
and new poets too
most of all
I remember her faith
and unconditional love
that is with me still
From the Psalms:
Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty:
neither do I exercise myself in great matters,
or in things too high for me.
Surely I have behaved and quieted myself,
as a child that is weaned of his mother:
my soul is even as a weaned child.
Psalm 131: 1 – 2
