O Faith and Feathers

Dove, the Bird of Peace

by WheelPlantUser1 Wikipedia

Dear Bird of Grace,

I come with faith

to your feathers

to bury my face against your

beating heart;

as you, with Our Infinite Creator,

hold me with your warmth;

remind me holiness is real,

profoundly able to 

lift and heal darkness;

O Faith and Feathers,

catch my tears.

In Honor of the Olympics - Prayer of the Risk Taker

Prayer of the Risk Taker

I believe as surely

as I dive

into the waters below,

You, O Lord,

Will grant me

The buoyancy

to emerge
from the depths
to dive again!

My body

shimmering, wet,

Thy risk taker

in mid air

knowing

You're there!

Today God Cups Your Face

Today God Cups Your Face

Today God

Cups your face

With caring and knows

What you've given

And to whom;

The room in your heart

And who you give it to;

He sees small kindnesses

And courageous effort

On ordinary days that

Are lifted, lifted to God's plane

As He cups your face with caring.
