      Favorite Quotes

      Everything God spoke was poetry.

      His miracles, His death, His love,

      Was a great work of mystery,

      Unfolding a light of truth,

      A story of faith,

      Of a relationship with us,

      Taking us from questions to answers,

      Into His peace and knowledge.

      Listen

      The Ocean Poet

      The ocean is still etching out

      Words of change in the sand

      Speaking of love

      Remembering those who came near

      Touching the souls of feet

      Over the shells washed clean

      And pebbles refined by nature

      Life will leave us to that

      Souls refined by life’s ebb and flow

      The rough edges gone

      Smooth as the memory of love

      Written in the sand

      Erased and written again

      We go there remembering.

      Smiles

      Leave me,

      Something in writing,

      Then I can see you,

      After a pause in the day,

      I’ll stop the ocean,

      How the waves look,

      Before they break,

      Reading again the sun,

      On our shoulders,

      Holding time as if

      It leaks from our hands,

      Leaving salty drops,

      Of I love you,

      Across the page in silence

      And smiles again, and again.

      The Ocean

      The ocean has it’s own poetry,

      Ebbing and flowing,

      The safari and bush
