To be away gives
New experience, fresh views, and
Renewal of links.

My sense of humour
Is that streak of madness which
Keeps me nearly sane.

22/08/04

As I keep this day,
The first day, as the Lord’s Day
Blessing comes to me!

21/08/04

As iron sharpens
Iron... these friends should give me
A sharp countenance!

20/08/04

Pungent with colour,
Sweet with smell and juiciness -
My daily orange!

Jane is a blessing
As confidant of the small,
And for being Jane.

18/08/04

Words, rhythm, tropes, rhyme,
The glue to fix them - this is
The most mixed blessing!

LOVE'S DESIGNS

As beneficiaries of grace
Enrolled in the illustrious ranks
Of those who come before Thy face,
Our Father, we give thanks.

Initiates of love's designs,
Acted upon in love's great ways,
Robed and secured in love divine,
Father, we give Thee praise.

As welcomed to Thy residence
And liberated to explore
The splendours of its ambience,
Our Father, we adore.
