The Point of it all

A scruffy looking sparrow,

A bare tree branch

- such things are beautiful to me.

Looking back - with a heart

   of love and thanks

I find sparks of joy in the darkest day.

Each day is a gift of limitless opportunity

to SEE

to HEAR

To NOTICE

   LOVE

Love is like a fire, well fed

it soothes both body and mind

with warmth and light,

allows food to be prepared

gives safety from the night.

Where does LOVE come from?

It cannot be brought or sold

We cannot find it 'on-line'

or in corner shops of old.

To love is our purpose

its in our DNA

as much as we might try to ignore it

  - we were created this way.

LOVE bubbles within us like

a spring just sprung

It wants to pour from us

like a bird in full song.

If we live out our purpose

as we were created to be,

our life would be simpler

because its focus would be

On LOVES true face

On LOVES arms once thrown

all around us forever by a king

with no throne.

All things are created

Be it flower, fly or honey bee

to help us see the LOVE

that's within you and me.

Take time to notice, 

to really take stock, 

to end each day with thanksgiving

for the gift we have got.

Life is quite simple

when you understand what its for.

Love God your creator THATS what you're made for

tread lightly on earth

as footprints on sand.

For creation is there to help you

- that was God's plan.
