Cool Brisk Waves

Brisk free ocean waves spoke to my soul today.

The words, although not heard by my ears alone.

The cool brisk waves spoke to my heart and soul

in a very healing way.

As the day passed by I began to feel what

the ocean waves were trying to say.

Let not the troubles of yesterday keep you

from the healing happy waves of today.

The time began to pass by; soon I felt

the water calm my whole presence.

I had known good fortune that

would not be forgotten.

Now I take the time to ride each wave

with grateful stride.

When the time comes to depart; the ocean’s waves

have given me a fresh new start.

So it was true, the waves spoke to my soul.

And with each new ride the sound of the ocean and

the deep blue spoke to my soul.

Oh, how true.

Should the time arise again when all seems lost or

dismayed, I believe.

I will head for the ocean, for that is what I pray.

When I ride the crisp blue healing ocean waves, my

soul gives thanks for each new day.

You Are

Not Alone

You are not alone, look at the tree it has leaves.

Look at the flower, it has many petals.

You are not alone.

There are many who have felt the darkness.

But remember, you are not alone.

Change can come quickly if you but remember,

we are not alone.

Seek out that person or make that call and

remember you are not alone.

There is strength in numbers so please believe me

when I say, you are not alone today.

Seek what is right. Seek a new flight.

Remember, you are not alone,

and with help choose the right.

Learning To Pray

In the midst of poverty, I prayed for wealth.

In the stress of a burden, I prayed for relief.

In the midst of sorrow, I prayed for peace.

In the midst of silence, I prayed.

In the midst of illness, I prayed for health.

In all these I prayed only to pray for

love, kindness and wisdom.

I was blessed with talents to acquire.

I was blessed with strength to overcome.

I was blessed with healing.

I was blessed with time.

I was blessed with understanding.

I was blessed with love.

I found gratitude.

I was blessed with courage.

I am learning to pray.

The Work Of An Angel

Angels do more than help in times of need.

The feeling they bring is quite different indeed.

They are all around and in your darkest hour, you can find their love and healing power.

Oh, but if I were an angel, what unseen help I could do.

But, wait just a moment; I can be an angel too.

The work of an angel is a must; if I but listen to the spirit and learn to trust.

There are angels all around so take a silent moment, and with good works they shall be found.

I Can Change

I can change because I want to.

I can change to see the better part of me;

because I want to.

I can change to attract the abundance of
