A Cool Breeze and the Calming of a Ripple

A Cool Breeze and the Calming of a Ripple

I looked out my window today and saw God's love

Towering in the budding leaves on the trees above

In the simplest of places, there sat two morning doves

Huddled close together lessening the chill of the breeze

In the warmth of the other they found a comfort impossible to create on their own

The breeze meant to chill, but brought them together as the sun's heat never could.

I looked at the river saw God's love there too.

In the reflection starting back at me and you.

In the strangest of places, two familiar faces, weathered but I recognized us two.

It's hard to imagine all the forces, all the tools that God has to use

In bringing together two souls searching, looking for something, not knowing what

But stumbling into the perfection of each other in the possibilities of us.

I wonder where it will be the next time I see God's love

In our children finding someone, or will it be another dove

Caring in the world is not of the past like we often think but hiding in the small

Kindness does not drought, like the rain that comes and goes or the pain that oft' times flows

Against the toughest odds, though we cannot believe what we do not see

God is working for you and for me, maybe with a cool breeze or with the calming of a ripple.
