ravaged green pastures -
anguished cries of displacement
to a Good Shepherd

alleluia songs -
resounding its echoes
rowdy thunder bolts

ah yes there be days
this is earth's behavior -
Dear book of His Word

  5. Beautiful words.

    Hope you are OK Gillena. Was thinking of you with all the mayhem caused by the hurricanes in your part of the world. Prayers for you and yours and all of your neighbours.
    Take care and God bless .

    " My shepherd is the Lord
    there is nothing I shall want
    Fresh and green are the pastures
    where he gives me repose
    Near restful waters he leads me
    to revive my drooping spirit
    My shepherd is the Lord
    nothing indeed shall I want.
    Surely goodness will follow me always
    till the end of my days"
