“The Covering”
Lord, please help me to rest .. to sleep
Too many thoughts for my mind to keep
Its dark outside and the sky is reigning .. snow
Huge .. soft .. quiet .. wonderous flakes
Falling like manna from heaven
A feast for my eyes
If time would freeze
I would paint forever pictures
Then frame them on the walls of my mind
Of all the people I love
Those who touched my heart .. with their heart
Some for a lifetime and some for a day
Are kept my heart and always will stay
Memories are like trees .. growing outward & upward
Branches dipped in white forgiveness .. bowing down
A grace covering .. a soft white blanket
Laid quietly upon the earth
Snow hugging the trees
Feels like God hugging me
I have a Friend who walks with me
.. but He’s a Spirit you can’t see ..
You think He is far .. but He’s ever so near
Consider His Presence. Be blessed thru the year
Falling ever so gentle .. His grace is like snow
If you open your heart .. this too you will know
Our days and our times are held in His Hands
His Grace is extended to all in the Lands

I write: “In His Light”~ Fay Vietmeier
If my words make you think … Great ;~)
As “iron-sharpens-iron” … I enjoy bantering with other BEES … your feedback is as “honey”
A glimpse of the “Bee” called “me” ;~)
My caring nature makes me an advocate. My curious nature makes me a “queen of questions” … but gifted with the ability to listen ;~) I am a woman of deep faith, a blessed mother, a voracious reader, a blossoming writer, a grateful person, and a lover of beauty … I treasure family, true friendships and my loyal clients ... enjoy traveling, learning, good movies, good wine and golf. I’m a “heart-to-heart” communicator.

@Farooq Omar .. continued
I appreciate that you noticed the smaller poem.
It is part of a mini-series that I began “I have a Friend"
I have a Friend who walks with me
.. but He’s a Spirit you can’t see ..
You think He is far .. but He’s ever so near
Consider His Presence. Be blessed thru the year
Falling ever so gentle .. His grace is like snow
If you open your heart .. this too you will know
Our days and our times are held in His Hands
His Grace is extended to all in the Lands
Yes .. He is “someone special” .. From His heart to mine - the gift of Peace 💕
I have been told .. this “Friend” will stick closer than a brother"

Oswaldo Enrique Diaz Delgado Oswaldo~ Truly you write with the heart of a poet my friend. “identify & distinguish sacred moments” “leave the doors of the heart open” As a believer & follower of Christ I find great comfort in this promise: “I will not leave you as orphans” … Jesus sent the promised Holy Spirit to be with us & in us. “I AM always with you” “I AM near” Be blessed my friend ;~)

Oswaldo Enrique Diaz Delgado Oswaldo~ “Welcome be the will of God in us” … This is beautiful heart response It reminds me of Mary’s response when she was visited by the angel Gabriel who had been sent by God … to explain to this young woman her Divine assignment … she answered: “I am the Lord’s servant. May it be to me as you have said.” (Luke 1)

CityVP Manjit Thanks for your warm response. I hope you fared well & safe through the storm I can picture the long icy drive ... when I was growing up we had a long drive ... all up hill When it snowed we could sled down to catch the bus...but the going up was another matter and climbing on hands & knees is kid cool but not not so much for this chronologically advantaged child ;~) There are mountains within an 90 minutes of me with a lovely ski resort ... if one is blessed to time being there BEFORE feet of snow falls ... of there is an ice storm ... THAT is truly magical On a stormy day being home and cooking a great soup or stew with warm bread ... a glass of wine ... well "let it snow ... let it snow ... let it snow"

Fay Vietmeier Your poetic response is so rich that commenting on it would spoil it. You prove again that poetry runs in your blood. As for the freezing of time your response make me want more to think about it. Love your response concerning the snowflakes. Again, a topic to ponder on.

Oswaldo Enrique Diaz Delgado Dear Oswaldo ~ so often your words are very poetic: “As we give space to the love of God in us … … streets that are outlined in our footprints, in our footsteps others are guided … … although we can be loaded, others are more inclined and demand greater efforts that undoubtedly give them back to God to help us and lighten the load” The idea to “give space to the love of God” … this is rich with promise For the world is busy and people are often selfish and self-oriented … to pause, to “be still” to recognize that “God is Love” and if we are willing … if we desire: He will abide in us with us ... His promise: I AM with you" Then we follow Him & walk in his footsteps … and can be a guide to others by virtue of His Spirit in us I am ever grateful that the Lord is our “Burden-Bearer” … for at times & seasons we all are loaded down with many things & may be “hard pressed on many sides” … but we have an Advocate I am keeping your family in my prayers my friend ~ Fay
