  The sleeping world awakens, Spring comes to field and fold, All nature's bathed in sunlight As the earth spills out her gold. Blossoms' scent in morning air; The skies are warm and clear; Hearts are filled with promise, Now Eastertime draws near. It's time for new beginnings When faith can be restored, Joy and peace fill every heart Who hail the risen Lord. Copyright Marian Jones  Every bud unfolding Caught in the rays of the sun. Each green leaf unfurling Now that Spring's begun. Daffodils and tulips Are swaying in the breeze; A rainbow of coloured crocus Appear beneath the trees. Gently, warmly, showers fall A cloud goes drifting by, Nourishing nature's offering Underneath a clear sky. We welcome every Springtime When all new life begins, Thanking God for the season The joy and beauty it brings. Copyright Marian Jones 2005 Thoughts of you like threads of gold Keep running through my mind. You are the sweetest person; So gentle and so kind. The beauty of our friendship Fills my heart with joy; The bond that we created, No other can destroy. You've shared my happy moments, Stayed close when life was bleak, You always were the wise one; Made me strong when I was weak. Our friendship I will treasure Until my life is through, God blessed me as a child When he sent a friend like you. Copyright Marian Jones 2003 When shades of night begin to fall And the stars light up the sky, I travel back in time, Remembering days gone by. Happy days of childhood Running free in fields of flowers, Dens we made to shelter in, To escape the sudden showers. I remember the swing in the park Where we whiled the hours away, And in those far off years The sun seemed to shine each day. Such different games we played then, Too many to recall, But in those golden years We were happy with bat and ball. The world has forever changed Nothing ever remains the same, Now we have technology, Do we count it a loss or a gain? Copyright Marian Jones 2003 With a little bit of kindness We can make someone happy today; Cheering a heart that's sad When we speak in a friendly way. To offer a helping hand, Is just what some may need; So be forever watchful; Willing to do a good deed. When we reach out and touch another With a heart that's full of care We may change the world a little, And still have love to spare. Copyright Marian Jones 2002 God came and set your spirit free, Yet I sense your presence with me. I hear your voice on a gentle breeze Your laughter echoing through the trees. Wherever I go I feel you near; The essence of you is crystal clear; Is this a blessing infinitely kind? Helping to soothe my troubled mind. Now you have left this mortal plane, I have no doubts I will see you again, For often in dreams you whisper to me, The promise of love through eternity. Copyright Marian Jones 2003 The Lord is my companion His strength it has no end; He comforts and protects me, To all my needs he tends. He fills my heart with joy In His love I do abide, It's wonderful to know He'll always be my guide. He's with me in the night When all is dark and still, He gives me restful sleep As I surrender to His will. When morning comes again He waits beside my door, As I meet a brand new day He walks with me once more. Copyright Marian Jones 2003 Close your eyes and open your heart Relax and let your worries depart, Know that the Father is caring for you Giving you strength to carry you through. Ask for His guidance as you live each day Trusting in Him to show you the way; Soon you will find your worries all cease Bringing you joy through God's perfect peace. Copyright Marian Jones - 2003 The sky is dark the moon is high, God keep us safe tonight. Let peace befall us once again Lead us to the light. Justice must be done We know that this is right. But as we go to sleep, God keep us safe tonight. We know His tears are falling On each and every land. God keep us safe tonight Hold us by the hand. So many praying hard To hope that peace will reign. God keep us safe tonight Heal all the world of pain. ©2002 Marian Jones To visit her wonderful site click below Margi Harrell               |
