My God, My Love

Hi everyone! I want to share a poem that I wrote on the way to a mission trip in Chile.  I was sitting in the plane admiring the sunrise when I was inspired to write this:

My God, My Love
You are the sunrise that brightens the sky
kissing the world with Your beauty
like soft rosy petals
drifting to settle on mountaintops

Your love surrounds us as we live out our life
like strolling through fields of yellow daisies
sun-kissed
that wait for us to bend
to breath their aroma

Your love is like those daisies
who wait and wait
patient
and wait
longing for our response
and wait and wait
but are not idle in the waiting

for while You waited scarlet blood seeped from Your holy hands
death became Life
the world thrown on its head
...or maybe
it is now the right way up

as the world cartwheels I open my eyes
Your glory, brilliant, shines
stronger than the noon sun
renewing

Your love surrounds me and I frolic among the daisies
