EACH HAND, EACH FINGER, OFFERS COMMUNE... BLESSINGS IN FULFILLMENT...

 

EACH HAND, EACH FINGER, OFFERS COMMUNE... 

BLESSINGS IN FULFILLMENT...

In time of call, in time of need

And to another I with heart to give

My WILL of life to love and live

'Tis only what I in heart command

Be known to another as a helping hand

Be they the WAY given to Truth, Power, Love, Grace

Within the chambers of heart to place

Each finger holding purpose and claim

Blessed they BE in our Lord's name.

In time of call, in time of need, 

in prayerful gestures of faith.

To Behold

 

To Behold

a setting, a day, an hour, a moment

what is being staged

what script to be followed

what drama to unfold

what revelation to be brought to light

what words, what intentions in fulfillment

what to behold

be it of truth, trust and the treasure of time

be it of heart's yearning of the blessed divine

be it of beauty, bloom and light supernal

be it of enfolds, the grace of the eternal

be it of vision, imagination and abiding love

be it of the sun, the moon, the stars above

be it of You and your questing heart

be it of favor from which You shan't depart.

You are the artist ~ An Awareness Wise...

You are the artist, and your life is your creation. It's your story. It's your comedy or drama, and if your story is changing anyway, then why not direct the change with awareness?

You have all our love.

And so in poetic dialogue...

An Awareness Wise

what be this awakening sweet


where grace and intention meet


what be this thunderous sounding in heart


where all that is has its knowing start


what be this soaring of spirit and soul


where vision is one with heart and goal


this be the Self, the TRUTH to embrace


where all that is blessed in knowing I place


where judgment, reprisal, illusion and demise


be cast aside by Spirit, an awareness wise


beyond the drama and lies yet heard


is the beloved glory of the divine WORD


joyful gratitude to fill my days


so be the embodiment of SELF in PRAISE.

Wisdom Of All

Oh how the mind conceives the thought

With restlessness your heart is wrought

For there is a just and kingly goal

Distant yet touching your crying soul

Be burdened not by task and deed

Lest you be lost to the greater creed

Inspired by self and the knowing within

Shall you pass the haunt, the doom of the din

Listen dear child to thy self sovereign and wise

Heed not to temptation, deception and lies

For it is the tear of joy that you shall weep

When the Promise you vow, you do keep

And when you reach and court the dream

With God's love stand thou supreme

Deception takes not your abiding soul

You have reached a kingly goal

As many may doubt and may berate

You shall prevail for love is thy fate

Guide the children, know their call

With God's tender love and wisdom of all.

For those who may be interested in my work with all learners across the age span, I have provided a link at the close of the posted poem. The second posted link, is to a "Commentary" that you may find of particular interest. Our children deserve all the understanding and support we can provide. Yes, we adults are to be guided as well. As a student of life, each child brought before me is another opportunity to learn, to guide and to be guided. To educate is to bring forward. May a shared vision bring us to the APOGEE of our potential, our understanding and our knowing support of all children.

Thank You for caring,

Rose Marie
