Giovanni bigfoot

Johnny Bigfoot has a big heart.
Honest, trustworthy;
It was tough to part company;
Knowing he’s so alone to work the company.
He attracts good people, Bonnie and Gerry:
Good begets good.
It won’t be too heavy a part.
God bless him with prosperity:
A reward for his sense of charity.
I played my little harp for him.
I hope that he liked the tune.
Did he know that it was “Keremeos Moon”?
Thank you, Lord, for the healing,
In a place that’s so appealing.
This little journey,
Part of my life’s journey
Johnny Bigfoot open heart;
Johnny Bigfoot, thanks for your part.

The house on the hill
Overlooking the mill,
Overlooking the sea,
Overlooking me.
The gulls of the sea
Are flying free
While the crow in the tree
Cawed at me.
I feel all three:
The gulls, the crow and the tree.
All make me see
That I’m not free
Until I see
Beyond the tree
How God calls me:
“Come, follow me.”

Forest Sounds

The moths flutter;
The birds twitter;
The leaves flutter;
Such pitter-patter
To put my heart a-flutter!
In such wind and chatter,
When the trees are dancers,
God removes all that’s bitter.

For Thierry

White butterflies flutter in sunshine.
Free souls flutter ‘round gravestones.
