Oh Sweet Bliss

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2008 with permission of the Author.

Oh, sweet bliss, how did you find me in the dark with all my troubles
collecting like copper pennies in a fountain,
under pain concrete form,
a flower breaks
through the crack of my once solid shell.

Stay with me bliss,
never leave me again,
for my need is great and my patience is plentiful.
Oh, lessons I need not learn again,
forget where I have been.

Let me walk in the sweet embrace of a Sunday's morn
and not forget its tender kiss of compassion
for God had granted me another day with you.
Hold me in the arms of your unfolding grace
and we will put back all the fallen stars in the sky.
