Summer Heat

Summer came early
Stealing spring.
The heat builds.
Now every day is extreme.
Is this heat our doing?
Is this the first step to extinction?
We do not know,
But science points to our missteps.
This Earth was God's great gift.
We must not squander it.
We must protect it.
Give us the strength and wisdom
To nurture the water,
To cherish the earth.
Make us meek
That we may inherit this creation.

Blessed are they that Mourn

"Blessed are they that mourn;

For they will be comforted."

These are the words of Jesus

In the Sermon on the Mount.

Are they true today?

I believe so.

Those that mourn are those

That have cared for another.

They feel the pain of separation.

Their comfort comes because

Having loved once,

They can love again.
