Daylillies At Dawn 
At dawn
day lilies
stretch and catch
drops of liquid
rays of light
gathering vitality
for their
day in the sun.
Straightforward in
elegant simplicity
their resplendent
golds and oranges glow
more sumptuously textured
than any of Solomon's
most finely woven
royal robes.
Do they know that
tomorrow...
they will be gone
already having fulfilled
exactly
each individual bloom's
God-ordained
destiny?

Guardian Angel and Boy 
The suddenly assaulted
mind, gripped
by apparent danger
stops dead.
The heart, and the
very innermost being
take over.
Unbidden,
cries
rise
up to God:
"God! Help us!"
He Who always knows
all ends
from before
the beginning,
always
keeps His angels
on guard.
Thank You, Father!"
We are in Good
and Mighty
Hands.

Supernatural Fruit 
Abiding in Jesus,
our Root and
our Vine,
brings forth
sweet and lush
supernatural fruit
by the Spirit's design.
Such divine bearing
abundantly yields
honor and glory
to the One Who is Worthy,
Our Father in heaven.
-Nancy Spiegelberg
But when the Holy Spirit
controls our lives,
he will produce this
kind of fruit in us:
love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness,
and self-control.

His Banner Over Us is Love 
God's eloquent flags,
royal purple and
ruffled violet, stand tall
in the springtime
breeze
demonstrating
our Creator's magnificence
and care.
Breathe in the fragrance
and beauty
of our King,
knowing His banner
over us
is love.

Look Up 
Dear God, You give us all good things,
You are sovereign Lord of all creation.
When our world's troubling happenings
Set us reeling and leave us gasping,
We look to You, God of all Comfort.
You see us bowed and weeping, often
Grasping at fleeting tokens of relief
As we wait for Jesus to come again.
Dear God, You promised
All things would be made new.
Dear Christ, our hopes will be
Fulfilled in You.
Lord, Help our unbelief!
You said,
"Look up! For your redemption
Is drawing near."
You said,
"Let not your hearts be troubled."
"Do not fear!"
The groaning universe waits
And strains to see
Our coming redemption's reality.
We raise our heads and
Shout with certainty:
Look up! Look up!
Our Glorious Redemption,
Thank God, is very near!
