I have retired from temptations of attention.
I’ve retired from the need to judge.
I’ve retired from feeling like I need that moment,
And I’ve retired from feeling too sad.

I have retired into a place of contemplation —
A place nearby, and where I sit.

I have retired from feeling guilty,
And I’ve retired from needing your yes.

I am retired.

one sun      one moon
to nudge the air   to braid the snow

one sun one moon
to bid the wind   to harbor autumn

one sun      one moon
to salt the skin      to taunt the stars

one sun      one moon
to trace the day   to etch our dreams

one sun one moon
to set the fields   to signal the tides

In a stable in roman occupied Palestine

Came the gift of love to the world

Lord Jesus Christ our true king and

Peace he whispered hope he gave

Through the storm he helps us brave



Gentle hands a humble heart

We love Lord Jesus Christ and his

Guiding soul he plays his part

And deep in our hearts his spirit stays

Shining through our darkest days

We love you Lord Jesus Christ.

I can only write,
about things I know of life,
how I see the truth.
