At the Bridge

“Mom, your eyes are full of tears! Why are you crying?” asked Bohnfi.

Miriam was silent for some time. Then ran her hand over Bohnfi’s playful hair and said: “Sonny, it’s your younger sister’s sixth birthday today. I just remembered her.”

On hearing this, Bohnfi ran to his room. He came back holding a small … Read the rest

Hearing this cry, his parents were awakened from their sleep. They rushed to his room and switched on the lights .

You’re a God

You’re a God who knows the way I take,
No path can be hidden from your eyes:
Though I do remain in the dark often;
Still, O God, you are my guiding light!

To touch the lone discouraged man;
Lifting him up, giving him hope,
Bidding him walk

Cracks ‘n breaks and scattered lies–

Someone was Waiting

Someone was waiting for me;
Though from His loving care
And all that was good ‘n dear
I had walked away one day
Through the open gate across the lawn
With not a backward look.

Someone was waiting for me;
While I in youthful pleasures
Swam to my heart’s content,
Spent all at wayside inns

James opened the bedroom window. A cold gust of wind made the curtains flap. There was unrest in his heart. It was like chaotic voices of birds coming back to roost on trees at dusk. A sense of loss was in the air.

“Daddy, Daddy!” James was startled to hear that familiar … Read the rest
