Stepping away for a bit


I’ll be stepping away from here for a bit.
 I can’t deny I’m anxious 
 About what lies ahead, 
And I definitely welcome 
Any prayers you have to spare. 
But in the meantime I leave you 
With gratitude for your presence, 
And the blessing of St. Francis. 
I’ve loaded in some old posts 
To keep you company while I’m gone; 
And hope to meet with you again 
On the other side.

Ending and rebirth


Each day comes to an end, 
Bathed in beauty, 
Wrapped in darkness, 
To be born again with the sunrise; 
A promise of hope.
