Arriving Soon!
I hear it in my head, The chords, the rhythm and sounds – Music in me. Today, expectation is strong And the knowledge of what is to come. Finding the new groove. Setting the tracks down. Exalting the One Who created music from the beginning. His soul brings ignition To the creativity internal. Glorious. Joyful. Colors of Hearing. Music in me. His forever. – RG

Senses in the Morning
The mocking bird sings its songs, While sunlight creeps along the fence. Clouds are swirling overhead And jasmine scents the wind. The purple-orange of the dawn Brings forth its hope and joy. We shuffle through the dewy grass, Exploring sights and sounds. And gratitude fills my heart, In every pulsing beat. To feel, to hear, to touch and breathe, Makes every moment sweet.

Gloria Patri
Some days my heart feels heavy As if there is no place To feel Your hands around it, Past failures to erase.

Memories & Dreams
The minutes nearly stopped when the recollections appeared, Fleeting images of a child chasing clues to find The hidden Easter basket. A treasure hunt! It was on. Today, driving in the dark, The memories were sure and swift – One after the other, in rapid succession. I know the longing, the missing will one day cease. We will be together with laughter and joy. My dreams create a picture that is elusive, yet precious. Even though it is not so today, These recollections will melt into a new reality… Because of Him. A perfect eternal present, replacing the past – Hidden and held in His endless heart, Destiny’s dreams. –…

Music of My Heart
Your words swirl in my mind, Dancing on the rhythms of a melody. Sounds of joy, heard internally. Waiting expectantly for the chorus. Finding the perfect harmony in a world of dissonance. It’s the time of rejoicing, A day full of thanks, Giving glory to Him Who gives everything back. Taking the ashes of my life, Recreating me in His image. Today I sing aloud – The Music of My Heart. – RG
