green leaves and bacon

Just scratching where it itches!

The Fall Sky Has Found Me

By
The Fall sky has found me today  Earth's crown dressed in blue, replaced by the gray  Tears of the season sooth the scorched fields  Soon Earth will sleep, soon it will heal   Wind scours the warmth with merciless treason  My Summer well lived, I resign to the season   Alas! Now we'll know the bite and the howl.  Not far in the distance breathes Winter most foul.   Is it so fearful you beg to beware  No ! T'is the blessing of God's loving care.   Doubt not resurrection as Summer does close  There are yet many Springs for the blush of the rose.  Copyright © 2005 by Marc Ernest Brodeur

How was your living today? How  was your first breath spent? Was it to pray? As your eyes strained to open, did you feel a great dare? How was your living today? How was your loving today? Did you offer a smile? Did you listen a while? Was forgiveness your gift? Did you ease a friend’s trouble? How was your loving today? Did you feel every beat of your heart? Are you certain that you will remember The roads you have travelled, the souls you have touched? Did you feel every beat of your heart? How will you rest this night? Will the history you’ve made be right? Is all that you’ve done true to the Son? How will you rest this night? How was your living today?

Fader vår

By
This Swedish version of the Lord's Prayer was retrieved from a church in Sweden during a family visit. Fader vår, som är i himmelen! Helgat varde ditt namn; tillkomme ditt rike; ske din vilja såsom i himmelen så ock på jorden; vårt dagliga bröd giv oss i dag; och förlåt oss våra skulder, såsom ock vi förlåta dem oss skyldiga äro; och inled oss inte i frestelse, utan fräls oss ifrån ondo ty riket är ditt och makten och härligheten i evighet. Amen.
