*God’s Hand*

Walk through the garden of light

Where flowers bloom in the night.

Walk past the river

Where it moves in a sliver.

Walk past the tower

Where at the top it has a flower.

Look at the beauty of the land

Reach out for God’s hand.

Smile at the face of God

But does anything feel odd?

Do you know where you are?

You are in the place of God.

Look down at the river again

Watch it move in its sliver.

Is God not at work here?

God will pick you up someday

But for now you must go away.

Awake from this happy place

With angels dancing around your face.

Fall through the clouds

And land back in your body.

It is not your time yet

But you will get there someday.

All because of God’s Hand.

Snow up on your knees

When you walk out into the brisk morning air,

And you give a shiver because its not there.

You stare at the white covered ground.

A gasp escapes you mouth,

And the air touches your cheek like God touches your heart.

You run back inside and shut the door,

Your kids are awake so back out the door.

You play and build snowmen,

But when the snow gets to deep,

You call your kids in.

You make hot chocolate for your family,

Than go watch the snow fall.

Faster, faster, faster it falls,

But you grow slowly colder.

Snow, snow, up past your knees.

Snow, snow, up on your knees.

You give a big sigh,

As the house gets cold.

You head back to bed,

Thinking that you need more warmth.

And silently you fall back to sleep.
