Berniece G. Piercy's Poem
Today, as I sit alone with God, who is always by my side,
See His creative beauty, reaching far across the earth so wide,
As I watch the flowing river, or see a lovely bird in flight,
I know I need such peace and joy, to keep my life forever right,
I need the brightest sunshine, and the rain upon my face,
A cooling breeze on a summer day, and the helping hand of God’s true grace,
I can hear the faintest whisper, of the leaves in autumn’s stay,
And when the woods are so quiet and snowy white on a lovely winter’s day,
I need the tiny rosebud, so innocent and pure, with springtime’s crimson beauty, thru all the years it will endure,
I see the moonlight, soft and velvet, and the diamond stars above, yesterday, today, and forever, these are …show more content…
Piercy America
We all love America, it will always be our country.
Where we will have the right to choose, what we will do.
Still, sometimes we never stop and think about it.
We take for granted, every passing day, it’s …show more content…
How our hearts would break, if suddenly the hour would come.
When no longer would we have the right to liberty.
And we could not speak, or move without restrictions.
And slowly, surely, life would end for you and me.
We must look beyond the scene that is before us.
We must give thanks for all the blessings that we know.
And we must believe in peace and love for all mankind.
And be proud to be Americans, then America will grow.

Asking God
Have you ever thought about just asking God?
What to do, when life is a battle from morning until night.
We run around and blindly rush ahead, each day.
Until we are burned out, and everything in our lives is still not right.
Look up to the heavens, all our answers are with God.
We are forever spinning our wheels, and going nowhere fast.
Ask God, Let him help you find the best way to go.
And then tomorrow, the sun will shine brightly, at last.
It isn’t so hard to talk to God, you know.
He loves us, and our burdens, He will understand.
He knows our lives are not easy, as we struggle to survive once more.
So today, just reach up, and ask God to take your hand.
