      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      When Few Words Are Needed - A.A Wray

      EVERY HOUR, EVERY DAY

      I sit here, thinking

      Every hour, every day

      Wishing, hoping

      To take the pain away

      The pain is hidden

      Deep inside my heart

      And it never stops hurting

      No matter hard I try

      It's frustration that won't stop

      It's a stress that upsets

      I can never seem to rid

      Of this certain unrest

      And so I sit here, thinking

      Every hour, every day

      Why I'm not out there, trying

      Why I'm here... failing away

      Every hour, every day

      AT THE BEAUTY

      Looking up at the stars

      And the dark blue

      Our eyes would shine

      At the beauty

      TEAR DROPS

      Tear drops of the rain

      As they slide down the window frames

      Glass having stains

      From the tear drops of the rain

      Snowdrops of the snow

      How far the wind does blow

      The snowdrops of the snow

      Shattering words across the world

      These are the tears of the earth

      COLD OUTSIDE

      It's grey outside

      The clouds descend

      The weather's cold

      It could be the end

      It's cool on my skin

      It sends a chill

      Up into my bones

      With what little will

      It's cold outside

      But warm in my heart

      The two collide

      And leave no scars

      Because the cold's arrived

      And I have survived

      A POEM

      A poem is a simple thing

      But it conveys
