In the night it fell; we were fast asleep. While you silently laid a carpet deep, White gift transforming the bleak landscape. A build up of snowflakes unique in shape, A newborn creation, that we might know. Transcendent Beauty - Oh, the wonder of snow. THE OLD HOUSE WELCOMES THE NEW To watch you grow in beauty thus, <br /> Dear house of dreams come true. <br /> Was my delight though seeming loss - <br /> Now all I yield to you. <br /> In peace I go by you replaced <br /> A sanctuary blest to hold <br /> The precious heirlooms of the past, <br /> The silver turned to gold. <br /> When footsteps gently o'er you tread <br /> And mark the sweet green earth <br /> In deep contentment I shall lie - <br /> A seed to find rebirth, <br /> So grow and flourish day by day <br /> Fulfill high destiny - <br /> The cherished plans, the hopes repay. <br /> Dear house beside the sea <br /> May God be with you, ere I go <br /> Once more I'll gaze on you <br /> A worthy shrine to give God place, <br /> Goodbye, I welcome you! <br /> LIFE - ETERNITY'S MORNING Breath of God - life <br /> Bringing infinite yearning <br /> Boundless as ocean's surge <br /> unsatisfied pain, exquisite, <br /> Strife insistent. <br /> Reaching for peace <br /> Caught in earth's tentacles <br /> Longing for freedom, <br /> Locked in , ice bound <br /> Struggling for light <br /> Beaconed by faith <br /> Upheld in hope <br /> Sighting Tabor's glory - <br /> Eternity's morning!<br /><br />Sr. Teresa Joseph Bamford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-wonder-of-snow/
