“all That We Truly Need” Poem by Becky LaPrarie

Question not what tomorrow shall bring
Live life with a prayer to start each day
Give your thoughts and cares to the one
Who truly cares for you

Faith in God is brought to surface
By believing that voice within
The one that reminds us in the songs of birds
Of God’s continual presence

Mankind has done so much harm to the air
The animals should be dead that breathe it
Yet they flourish because he is God and can
Still succeed no matter what mankind has
Done to his beautiful creations

He shows us his power in the mighty crashing waves
That pound the banks and even the waters obey him
They stop where he says stop
They become angry when he demands
They are stirred
Then with one word he tells them
To be silent

He the creator has given so much to all
So why should one ever feel they have nothing
Why should gloom consume their short lives

Let us rejoice in every moment
Allowing whatever shall come
Knowing for sure that
God is beside us and
He knows the desires and needs
Of our hearts
