THE MENTOR
I see as you are
Not with eyes of prejudice or fault
But with anticipation of your every move...
Your voice is like a melody waiting to be sung
I hang onto every note with envy
Contemplating the next harmonious passage...
Consumed by the thing I fear most
I relish in the fragrance of courage and strength
Emmanating from you and am totally captivated...
Deep within me lies the essence of your soul
That I might someday walk as you walk now
Never measuring another by wealth but rather by
character portrayed...
Love does not describe what you mean to me
My Teacher, Guide, and Friend
May I someday be the reflection of this Priceless Encounter!
( this poem was written about a very special teacher who helped me to recognize my potential...years ago)
Perhaps the blessings I hold in my heart are the best.
Not the ones that shout aloud, but the ones that silently speak.
The times of remorse and sorrow that seems endless
Then the touch that whispers to my heart
All is well, all is well.
For naught of earthly things does the heart truly find joy,
It is in the simple and quiet we find the wonderful peace that passes all understanding.
The kindness of a word, the touch of a hand and the whisper of the flow of a brooke, the glow of a moonlit night,
The gentle sigh of a tree in a soft breeze.
The knowledge of a God who loves me just the way I am. The understanding that one life was gladly sacrificed to give so many new life. The joy that comes with the dawn and the beginning of a new day. The smiles on the faces of children as they know not the woes of this world.
At times we search for the loud and sounding blessings, when in each moment there is that still and quiet voice inside our hearts that allows us the peace of the Living God.
