We are of God
We are of God!
Look beyond the day;
listen for the change.
The world is harsh;
loss, suffering abound,
yet God believes!
We are worthy.
We are of God!
We truly do not know . . .
who we are, or
who others are;
God enlightens us to each other!
The wilderness is all around,
yet we are safe.
We are of God!
We are ministers of God’s word;
not literally, but of the spirit.
Let us hold fast our faith.
Lord, awaken us;
help us make our world . . .
Your Garden of Eden.
We are of God!
We are here to shepherd . . .
his people, his earth.
We are of God!

I am a retired high school and college professor. The last 10 years of my teaching was as a college professor of literature and writing. I have self-published one book of prayers and meditations and am preparing another book of poetic odes to faith and love. I am truly honored to be welcomed into this group.
