I Sit In The Shadow
I sit in the shadow
of God's Word.
I take my rest
like the humming birds rest
in the shadow of a flower.
They break from the labor
of just being birds,
but I sit in the cool
of God's Word.
In Due Time
God's will
for you
is like a little yellow flower
hiding in a green bud.
Sunlight opens it
petal by petal
before your eyes
in due time.
