Petals of Love
By Shirley R. Fluharty
 
Petals of love sprinkled around
One touching the other
To cover the ground
Placed Oh so gently
By the Master above
Glimmering brightly
These petals of love
Notice their peaefulness
As they lay side by side
Not wanting to move
As the wind rushes by
But full of the beauty
And original form
We like these petals
From the bud once were torn
Our lives oh so fragile
Yet touching each other
With beauty cast down
From Jesus, none other
And just as the petals
Of love we can be
The peace and the comfort
That's been given to  me
And reach out and touch
And draw closer to Thee
And as petals of love
We will glimmer brightly
 
I will love thee, O Lord, my strength.
Psalms 18:1

An Old Pencil
By Shirley R.Fluharty
 
It was just an old pencil
I had laying around
From my working day
My clicker I found
Then all of a sudden
Words came to my mind
As a piece of paper
I would scramble to find
And the words would flow
From my mind to my hand
And how they managed to rhyme
Was oh so grand
Then just like a flash
All at once I knew
It was Jesus' Words
Thru my pencil flew
So when ere' you read
Of a poem I scribe
It was Jesus my Saviour
That 'twas living inside
 
And a certain scribe came, and said unto him,
Master, I will follow thee withersoever thou goest.
Matthew 8:19

The Sculptor
By Shirley R. Fluharty
 
Puffy clouds of white and gray
Sit quietly in the sky today
While shades of blue come shining thru
And the sun's bright rays shine down on you
A peaceful calm surrounds the trees
With not a movement from the leaves
A big hawk circles, way up high
In search of lunch with his keen eye
An array of color, dots the hillside there
From the lady slippers to the violets rare
This scene a picture of elegant flair
Painted with such Majestic care
A sculptor of the finest breed
Who daily plants His glorious seed
Hi fills my heart, my soul, my mind
And treats me like His one of a kind
 
The flowers appear on the earth; the time
of the singing of birds is come, and the voice
of the turtle is heard in our land;
Song of Solomon 2:12
 

Tears of Joy
By Shirley R. Fluharty
 
As tears of sorrow filled my eyes
And fear rushed thru my mind
I'd known this feeling once before
A specific one of a kind
I prayed, Lord please don't let it be
These tears are filling me
Replace them with the tears of joy
I know You have from Thee
And all the fears that once consumed
The valleys of my life
Replace them now, as I rejoice
And bid good bye to strife
I thank you that You've chosen me
That none can ere' destroy
A life that grows inside of me
And with it Tears of joy
 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep
 and lament, but the world shall rejoice;
 and ye shall be sorrowful,
but your sorrow shall be turned into joy
John 16:20 

Faithfully Trusting
By Shirley R. Fluharty
 
Persistent and faithfully
Trusting in You
Into life's challenges I will pursue
Knowing my Father
Not quite what to do
Persistent and Faithfully
Trusting in You
 
Persistent and Faithfully
Trusting in You
Walking thru valleys dark yet You knew
Faithfully shattered
Downtrodden and blue
This was my life before I met You
 
Taking for granted each day I awoke
Life as I saw it was merely a joke
Now I embellish each new thing I do
Persistently and faithfully
Trusting in You
 
The God of my rock; in Him will I trust
2 Samuel

And I was daily His delight
Proverbs 8:30
