Here are some poems I wrote      for one of my friends ...


A Poem for a Friend,  Jesus in you . . .

I saw Jesus in you that day ...
your heart, showed His heart,
your words, His kindness
your eyes, His compassion...

It was His love in you
  that changed me...

His life in your life,
His heart in your heart...

His words in yours ...
a picture of His grace

A hopeful heart ...

in knowing Jesus
  I knew in you ...

His love you once knew in part
  here on earth ...

you now know in full,

because you are in Him
        forever ...

And now you are the eagle
    He made you to be,
       to soar in Him
        in His love ...

   and He has restored all things,
all the years the locust had eaten -
  immeasurably - in His presence

  where the light of His love
         shines upon you ...

And you can look into Jesus' eyes.

     Although I miss you here
                on earth,
               my friend ...

     I know I'll see you again ...

                  Someday,
                In the glory
            of His presence ...

And I will look into Jesus' eyes too.  : )



" More than words" ...

More than words spoken,
  or written on a page ...

A life lived,
an expression of His love ...

That the world would some how see,
    an expression of His heart
  when they look at you and me.

God spoke and
the earth, the sky, the stars,
               the sea ...
            the planets ...
         this universe ...
         And all that is,
            came to be.

  His Spirit hovered over all
             He had made,
and He spoke and gave it form ...

  He spoke life,
and there was life ...

   He spoke light,
and there was light...

    He spoke and
     flowers grew ...

He spoke and hearts
     were formed ...
     to know Him ...

And He spoke His love
      and He spoke
         His heart ...

     And Jesus came
      for us all to see ...
His love expressed in reality.

More than words ...

to touch the hearts He created,
           in His image.
             in depth ...
             in truth ...
             in reality...

Grace ...
a word He never had to speak,
  but lived minute by minute
           of His life
      for us all to see ...
            to know ...
             to live ...
         as He lived.

And to touch His heart ...
