Monday Morning Offering - 189

Image: George Mendoza

Good morning, good God!

I find my eyes wide open, searching

hints of spring along my way:

greening branches, too long brown 

but leafy now with beauty 

to seduce a wintered soul... 

I pray my heart will open, hungry

for hope that sprouts within

from seeds of promise, planted deep

by your hand, Lord, and watered fresh

with tears from my soul's spring...

Turn, till and tend with care 
the soil of my heart and soul and 

nurture all you've planted: bring to bloom

the shoots of hope that long 

for summer's sun and warmth...

Receive my morning offering, Lord,

my prayer for springtime's grace 
and grow in me the gifts I need to yield 

the fruit, the flowers, the harvest, 

the goodness of your life within...

Amen.
