Dwell In Me

DWELL IN ME

Jesus Our Immanuel, 
In this quiet place please fill 
this waiting space within my
heart and guide my way.

Please sit with me and
let me hear your voice,
sense your presence and
know your listening ear.

Please hear my cry, my tales, 
my joys, my doubts - my thanks and 
adoration. Like a small child with her
Mother, may my soul be at peace in you.

BLESSED SPIRIT

At 80


Love On The Back Stoop At 80

Summer day
Morning calm
Coffee on the porch for two

Relishing the colors of his garden 
White daisies brilliant in a patch of sun
Crowned by golden lilies and shades of lavender

Warmed by a poem she shares
And his drawing of a patio design
Sharing plans for their day - and for their tomorrows

He's off to build her patio
She to catch the music in a gentle breeze; to write
'Til supper time

 Hearts still quickened by love first discovered in their 20s

                                                                 -JoMae

PURPOSE


Purpose

Some days I wander through the hours

On seemingly meaningless routes

Yet in the end I recognize that

Each word I hear or read or write

Finds its place within a larger

Purpose
