Dear God

Every now and then you see me cry
unashamed, my tears flow freely
I can not hold back, no matter how I try...

In the beginning, You created heaven and earth,
You brought together man and woman,
to share the glory of love, life and the birth...

Of:

Their first sunrise...
gentle rain...rainbow colors in the sky...
birds happy to be alive...
butterflies flight...upon blooming flowers...
moist umber earth...trees in all their beauty......
little creatures, even snails...drinking the clear water...
seeing for the first time...reflections of each other......
the beauty of their first sunset...

Dear God,
what beauty you give for all to see
the simple way of life, the golden rule......
man and woman did not take for granted, the beauty you created...
they rejoiced so merrily...

God, I want you to know I give praise and thanks
for the beauty that you create every day...
sounds of silence, laughter, sweet songs...
Yes, I give praise in my own special way...

From the moment I awake every morn
I feel my heart beat...I'm alive...
the rising of the sun, a new day is born...

Mere words cannot express the beauty, I feel inside
I want to shout it from the roof tops...
You are my loving guide...

You are always guiding me showing and sharing your sweet love......
bringing beauty each morning for me to see...

As I go toward journeys end
I want to carry your message of beauty and love...
to tell everyone they will meet you, right around the bend...

Dear God, when you see me cry
it is because of all the beauty I feel inside...
I cannot hold back the tears
no matter how I try...

Sincerely,

~ Anne-Marie Hodgeson ~
