sunrise
and I pray
a few Psalms
for as long
as I can remember
the Psalms
and today
my new Bible
with larger print
and new reading
glasses

sunrise
and I pray
a few Psalms
for as long
as I can remember
the Psalms
and today
my new Bible
with larger print
and new reading
glasses
Psalms to pray
and poems to read
sun on seawalls
prayers before dawn
a few fireflies
by the window
tiny leaves
on trees
no prayer
in my heart
too small for God
how still
the winter landscape
I whisper the Psalms
God be merciful unto us, and bless us;
and cause his face to shine upon us; Selah.
That thy way may be known upon earth,
thy saving health among all nations.
Psalm 67: 1 – 2 (KJV)
