Poem

One of my close friends, Jen Foltz, is an amazing poet. When we were talking about this blog I asked her for some poems and she immediately sent me some. Here is one:

“God Brings”

I love the peace
that God brings
in the blowing of the leaves.
A gently falling springtime rain,
the scent of summer on a breeze.

I love the hope
that God brings
in a newborn baby’s cry.
Knowing that His love endures,
getting one more try.

I love the joy
that God brings
in the laughter of my friends.
Funny stories, inside jokes;
I pray it never ends.

I love the passion
that God brings
in a heart that pours out prayers.
Open to His saving grace,
His love is made aware.
