Candles In My Life
A child is born,
And an angel is dispatched to light a candle
Which will illumine the child’s way in the world.
As the child grows,
A candle is lit for each person who comes into his life.
These lights help guide and direct the child
Through the labyrinth of his life.

Evening Meditation
Birds sing their praise in the growing dusk.
The smell of spring,
Cool, green and full of promise,
Surrounds the ending of another day in a loving embrace.
The fading sun illumines the colors of the leaves

The master painter is at His easel,
Blending the infinite blues in His palette
To display as many as possible,
Before the world slips into darkness again.
Surrounded by so great a host of creations,
What is man, truly?
