A cold river flows from the mountains

When the ice melts on the high peaks.

A cool wind blows hard against

An  Indian boy’s cheeks.

 

Pinterest photo found on 12-20-16. Tammi.

He is braving the forces of nature,

To come where the Great Spirit dwells.

In the heart of the forest primeval,,

I hear him say, ” All is well.”

 

He believes that before he prays,

The Great Spirit will make it so.

He kneels as he asks for forgiveness,

And healing as he stands to go.

 

I hear him speak in the wind:

“It is done. It is done.”

I wish I had faith like his:

That God’s will has begun.

A MAN WHO LOVES THE SOIL                                                          

I think a man who loves the soil,

Harvesting a wheat field in S. Dakota. travelsd.com. Found on Pinterest.

Who bends above the fertile earth,

And plants the seed with calloused hands

Must be a gentle man of worth.

A man who cherishes the sod

Must surely be a friend of God!

 

I think a man who loves the soil;

Who nurtures every growing thing,

And watches with expectancy

For nature’s fruitful harvesting,

Who oft has plowed the lands he’s trod,

Must be a partner of God.

 

I think a man who loves the soil

Finds happiness in rich supply;

Though toil he must to earn his bread

He reaps much more than wheat and rye,

For with each little grain or pod

He cultivates a faith in God.

ELEANOR LYONS CULVER

 

” A farmer spends a lot of his life outdoors

and watches the seasons come and go. He

experiences bringing forth life by planting a

seed in the ground and nurturing it.

He watches it grow, and harvests it.

He watches it die, plows it under, and

waits until it is time to plant seed again.

Nature brings him closer to God because

of what he does.”        YU/STAN/KEMA

peaceful night, Pinterest photo, poem by Yu/stan/kema., safety

Light fades slowly

with the coming of the dusk.

Babies sigh softly,                                     

Found on Pinterest on 9-21-15.

as they learn to trust

the arms that rock them

‘Til day-light disappears.

Eyes glow brightly

as love removes their fears.

 

Darkness covers valleys

and hides the mountains high.

Birds are moving gently

when MAMA-birds are nigh.

Night-in-gales are singing

before they go to sleep.

God will keep all creatures

safe within His keep.

-Yu/stan/kema-

 

” I Have Found Peace,” by Edgar Daniel Kramer.

PEACE

 ” Every one of us yearns for peace in living, in some form or another. A baby finds it in the arms of his caring mother as she rocks him to sleep. A child finds it playing outside in the dappled sunlight as he watches the insects, smells the fresh clean air, and hears the sounds of birds singing and chirping in a quiet meadow or forest.

A mother finds peace as she watches her child fall asleep in a house filled with kindness and love. A man finds peace in fishing as he watches the water and the sky while casting for trout. And an old woman finds peace in knowing she has loved well the people she has cared for and has raised children who do acts of kindness for those who are most vulnerable.

Peace is something we all need, to balance out the times we encounter stress, and the times we carry losses that overwhelm us. Some people find peace in their relationship with God, their loved ones, the things they create, or in nature. This is expressed so eloquently in the following poem by Edgar Daniel Kramer.”     Yu/stan/kema.

I HAVE FOUND PEACE

I have found peace where the rippling waters

Ever whisper the willow boughs;

There I have knelt to an unseen altar.

An unseen temple has heard my vows.

 

Found on Pinterest on 12-17-16. Stephen Hayward. Stars

I have lifted my heart to the heart of beauty

And I have given my soul to her,

As I have hearkened the rippling waters,

Where the willow leaves and the grasses stir.

 

Though I was blind, now my eyes are seeing…

The mystic wonders that never cease;

The dawn in the trees, the dusk on the flowers,

The dust of the stars, and I have found peace.

-EDGAR DANIEL KRAMER-

Gifts I Can Give To You.

If I could, I would

chase away the darkness

So it would never

touch you, child.

I’d spend a lifetime

spreading some kindness,

So parts of you

could be reconciled.

 

 

Found on 2-3-16. Facebook Timeline. Sojourners Path.

If I could, I would prove

that God really loves you                        

when the world around you 

is breaking apart,

but dealing with hardships

is a part of living.

Ask God to come

and live in your heart.

 

If I could, I would give                                         

you many good friends

who would fight and 

stand by your side,

when others won’t give you

the gift of acceptance,

no matter how hard

you have tried. 

 

I wish I could pave

your way with kindness,

and light a lamp 

for you to have hope,

but all I can do

is pray for the best

and teach you the skills

you’ll need to cope.

 

I’ll bind up your wounds

and wipe away tears

as you become who

you want to be.

I’ll stand beside you

and cheer you on

as you work to fulfill

your destiny.

 

When I am gone,

I hope you will see,

I did all I knew 

how to do,

to help you build

a strong faith in yourself

and find real peace

in you.

-Yu/stan/kema-
