Poetry from Joan Beebe

 

LIGHTING UP THE WORLD
THE INFUSION OF LIGHT BEAMS
CAN BE FOUND ALL OVER THE WORLD.
THESE BEAMS CARRY WITH THEM
 THE SEEDS OF KINDNESS,  TOLERANCE
AND LOVE.
THEY LIGHT UP A CONFUSED AND
DARKENED WORLD.
WHEN THOSE BEAMS OF LIGHT CAUSE
OUR PLANET TO BECOME THAT SHINING STAR
IN OUR UNIVERSE,
THERE WILL BE PEACE, LOVE AND JOY AMONG
ALL PEOPLE.

A MOTHER’S HANDS – A TRIBUTE

Busy hands

Wrinkled hands

Hands that comfort

Hands that are tired

Hands that mend, sew or create

Hands that bake a birthday cake

Hands that help a child with their homework                  

Soothing hands

Loving hands

Teaching hands 

Caressing hands

Helping hands

Praying hands
