Showers and Tears
Sometimes He sends us
The showers,
To cleanse the earth -
And brighten the flowers;
So also, does he send us
Our tears,
To cleanse, refresh, and
Release pent-up fears.

To Brother Joe
Father and protector
Down thru the years,
Guiding and comforting
When they shed tears.
Gently administering
When they were ill,
Patiently there,
Their needs to fill.
Quieting their fears,
In times of stress,
With capable, fatherly
Gentleness.

To His Wife Eileen
Mother and Den Mother
Night and day,
Serving and helping
In every way.
Offering fresh
Challenging ideas,
Molding the minds,
Thru the years.
Hopefully, His blessings
Will shower on you,
Lessening your cares
To a very few.

To a Newborn Girl's Parents
Dear Mummy and Daddy,
Here I be,
The little girl
You hoped to see:
A bit of earth
A bit of sun,
A bit of stardust,
A bit of fun.
Teach me, guide me,
Help me - to be,
The kind of girl
You want me to be.

To a Traveling Friend
A little bird whispered -
Softly to me,
That you're about to trip -
Across the sea.
May each of your days be -
Pleasant and bright,
And all of your hopes -
Turn out just right.
May He love and bless you
Each morning and night,
And always keep you
Under His light.
