From "Poems for Life's Journey"
The Lighthouse
The boats at sea are tossed and battered as the storm takes hold,
sailors caught in the eye of the storm battle fierce winds and cold.
Clinging on for their dear lives as the waves throw them around,
danger's all around them and their hearts begin to pound.
Darkness overcomes them and fear is everywhere,
the storm that they are going through is more than they can bear.
Then somewhere in the distance a ray of light shines through,
offering a lifeline to the weary frightened crew.
The light inspires them to fight on as they see a way ahead,
their thoughts are filled with hope replacing their fear and dread.
The fight is tough but gradually more light comes into view,
if they want to anchor safely they know what they must do.
They can't let tiredness overcome or give in to fear,
the growing light encourages them that the harbour is quite near.
They press ahead determined as more rays light up the way,
the lighthouse now is in full view lighting up the bay.
Safe at last on solid ground they offer up a prayer
and thank God for His mercy and His loving care.
They followed the light through the darkest night and we can do this too,
for God will always shine a light to show you a way through.
From "Poems to Encourage and Comfort"
Angels Everywhere
God sends us angels to stand by our side,
When the darkness consumes us and we just want to hide.
We may meet angels unaware as we journey through this life,
They come and offer comfort in the midst of pain and strife.
Sometimes we cannot see them but their presence fills the room,
They bring a peace beyond all words and take away the gloom.
Angels come in many guises- some in human form
They care for the sick among us in this new world norm.
Some have to leave their family home and their loved ones too,
They don't want to risk their families' health because of the job they do.
Some angels work all through the night to keep the food chain going,
There are those who operate the tills while the queues outside keep growing.
Remember all these angels are sent from God above,
They serve as a reminder of our Father's love.
So if you ever feel dismayed remember this is true,
Seen and unseen everywhere angels watch over you.
Please include your name, address and contact details alongside whether you would like normal (£2) or large (£3) print in your email to Kate.
