THY WILL BE DONE

Thy will be done

that’s what you teach

us to say

but with it if comes

such agony and pain

then what is there to gain

from this humble surrender

I wished no cross

on an unrepenting soul

like me, when prayers profound

make you judge unworthy

to be answered

Then is my right forfeit

Till my grace is won

Till I truly say

Thy will be done

VESPERS

The clouds they covered a blushing sun

The hills and mountains they merged as one

The romance of dusk then faded light

Ever so softly into the night

WILD FLOWERS

Wild flowers can never be

as pretty as  I have seen

dancing white orchids

in forest glade and strawberry

strewn pathways hiding over

unexplored hillside

moments like these made life

seem a dream

Will I ever see these once more?

perhaps,  I will never know

But yet the peace of these

moments come back to me

each time I sit alone in pain

And I see wild flowers again
