Old Sol

by

Robert F. C. Rains

Turns homes into ovens.
Technology is no match
For his relentless rays.
Windows keep the rain out
But heat in.
Sunburned, I escape
To the supermarket.
I pretend to examine ice cream.
Chilled, I venture outside
And retreat home,
To baste.

The Gift of God

by

Robert F. C. Rains

The gift of God,
A brand new life,
Amazes me.
Nothing I did of my own power
Could make my dreams
Come true.
He was always with me
As I strayed from his path.
At my darkest moments
He showed me his light.
When I felt most alone
I felt his presence.
As night grows in to morning,
I feel this light again.
I'm blessed with another day
To live, to love, to accept,
The Gift of God.
