These Are My JOTtings, Part #2

A Gentle Day

A gentle day of coolish air,
and breezes just a bit,
reminds me of The Lord so fair,
Who calls me with Him sit.

Begonias swaying back and forth,
and pansies, still alive
bring hope, today, for all they're worth,
and peace to in Him thrive.

A gentle day doth give us rest
for other days ahead
when we may face some earthly test
as challenges are bred.

The Lord is why we live and breathe
with lasting peace for Aye.
Salvation's Gift may 'round us wreathe,
if we receive it, today.
