So, be you, the medic, without any tool

Let us all be careful and let us all be kind
So that the goodness we share can heal humankind
Our thoughts and our actions and all that we do
Can promote an aura of  health..for everyone...it is true

So turn away from the greediness and from all of the hate
Let your love, that's within start to escalate
The molecular battle from all places  around
That will overthrow this virus with a peaceful sound

The borders we create cannot help us as much
As the caring heart or the gentlest touch
So be you the medic without any tool
Let your love be the potion for this virus so cruel

Our energies rise up like a  vaporous cloud
They spread through the countries like a  boisterous crowd
So ...what are we sending and what are we not?
Could this virus be something our warring has bought?

Would you be the one?

Right now our world needs good Samaritans 


If I was really needing you; would you be there:
In my dark moments, and in my despair?
Would you be   so ready..that you could carry me
If I was  needing your presence:  where would you be?

Because now I am needing you .. I need you now
To help me through this.. through all this... somehow
I'm not feeling so  confident and  need some grace
Would you stay here with me . with .your warm embrace

If I was feeling anxious could you be my calm
That sweet consolation that works like balm
Could you be that person ...who would never  judge
Would you lift me gently... when my heart can't budge

Because now I am needing you .. I need you now
To help me through this.. through all this... somehow
I'm not feeling so  confident and  need some grace
Would you stay here with me . with .your warm embrace

If I wasn't acting rightly; and was a little unkind
Would you stay here with me and be my peace of mind?
Would you be that person who would always care;
Even in those dark moments when darkness is everywhere?

Because now I am needing you .. I need you now
To help me through this.. through all this... somehow
I'm not feeling so  confident and  need some grace
Would you stay here with me . with .your warm embrace

IF I wasn't even your friend and was just a passerby
Would you still be kind to me and help me get on by
Would you be that beacon ...that single ray of light
That helps me see clearly ...even with damaged sight

Because now I am needing you .. I need you now
To help me through this.. through all this... somehow
I'm not feeling so  confident and  need some grace
Would you stay here with me . with .your warm embrace

TIme

Time for loving.. not for fight
Time for everyone to unite
Time for kindness ..time for love
Time to give like God above

Time for hoping time for fun
Time to help out  everyone
Time for healing time for pain
Time for singing the peace refrain

Time for praying ..time for care
Time for distancing... everywhere
Time to reach out time to call
Time to be mindful.. towards all

Time for patience time to wait
Time to trust that God's not late
Time to pray now time to talk
Time to ponder and humbly walk

God is still God

There is so much panic everywhere
Where there should be trust and humble prayer
God is still our God and we should  know
That He hasn't forgotten us .. He's everywhere we go

Before our time we shall never pass away
Through an illness or  some tragedy along the way
This virus spreading far and spreading near
Will have no power over us .. remember... God is here..

Take precautions as you know you must
But do not lose your faith or ability to trust
In the wisdom of the One who sees us all
He will rescue us and keep us safe ..great or small...

Angels ready

Silent whispers in the night
Angel beings take their flight
Taking charge and taking care
Showing Godness everywhere

Hear them echo...hear them sing
Of a Heavenly Happening
God above and God below
Grace is everywhere..we will go.

Morning's waking ...we do too
Angels are ready to help us through
Guiding; protecting; giving love
From the Great One: God above

Do you believe and can you see
Angel beings silently
With their presence... with their light
Helping all to live life right

Pause and appreciate

It's okay to take a break and simply sit down
while you are doing nothing much at all
See the sights and smell the smells of
flowers, trees and plantlets great and small
Feel the feel of  the warming rays of
Sunshine dancing on your face and on everything  around
Oh the wonderfulness of having time to sit motionless
and soundless in world  so full of sound

Can't you see it,  all the springness in the plantlets, trees
and seedlings everywhere
Buds are opening; seeds are breaking;
trees are flowering... with fragrance, they release into the air
Gardeners, garden, inside the house; with pots and pods;
that hey'll put out once the last frost has gone
Even early morning seems to echo
the sounds of spring, that burst forth with the first signs of dawn

Temperatures are rising and the warmer winds
are circulating throughout the entire atmosphere
Time to get out those lighter garments from out the storage
and put the heavier ones back in there
Oh, the awesomeness, of this season changing
into the beautifulness that only the Spring can bring
It moves everyone within and everything without
into the happiest dance and song that touches everything

I once was blind....

You cannot ever convince me that those four walls can make you whole
That sitting inside those pews, there,  will transform your immortal soul
I have seen it and I have also felt it: the gaze of the judging eye
Who will sing out every Sunday but then ignore the orphan's cry....

Oh yes you will be joining the choirs and you will join the noble quest
Of holding up those signs of unity and  shout out with great protest
But what of the ones right near you .. the ones you continue to deny
The brother.. the sister.. the cousin; you refuse to love or look in the eye

It saddens me to even think this..and  even more so to sadly write
That, I,  was once, one of those people... who thought that: I always right....
That I could have stood in  judgment or that I could have  cast a slur
Embarrasses me to this moment and makes me more humble I am sure

So now I'm pleading for mercy; for forgiveness and for the Light
So that, I can become more loving and not be so blinded by my pride
That I can give of my love more freely to every person... every time
I beg of the Giver of everything:  the ability to bless all with my rhyme
