What follows are three poems that I wrote in 2013...having stumbled across them, I thought I'd share!
- Dan Oberg, Director
Single Bird
The simple faith of a single bird
That spring will come at last
She waits in late snows undeterred
Trusts winter’s icy grip will pass
Yet how I allow the storms of life
To pull attention from the one
Who bears me through every strife
And always comes to rise the sun
The Leap
Faith is like crossing a swift, raging current
With stones of varying gaps on which to tread
Some steady, secure; given to hop & skip
Some calling for leaps o’er gaps filled with dread
Yet when I recall the strong, sure hand
Which awaits just ‘round the bend
The leap is just a part of the dance
Bringing a needed plunge now & then
Eternal Youth
As Jesus is the eternal youth of the Ancient of Days
May my heart remain ever child-like
May my dreams forever grow wild-like
May I allow myself to smile, like
I do when I abide in Life’s incorruptible blaze
