Silence is like my God - my queen,
a space of deep quietness
far away from the roar
and hectic pace of the seen.
My times in her blessed presence I cherish
for then I can replenish
my worn out energy,
my worn out earthly frame
and with the precious gold of her nearness
can I once again proclaim
that Almighty God resides in me,
and shines through my very name.
MY FAITH
Faith is my rod and my staff,
a faith full and never weak
or measured in half.
My faith sings its song
and remains steadfast and strong.
Even through the winds of adversity
my faith allows me to see
the ceaseless glow of divine loves reality.
