Dear Lord, help us to listen for your voice.
Help us to hear it in our songs, in our teachings, in our prayers and in our interactions with those around us. Help us to listen with the ears of Mary, and to still our hands and feet, so that the "Martha" in us may hear your words too.

Dear Jesus,

I thought I knew how to love
until I found You
Now Im truly deeply in love
and I am feeling it
But I dont know how
I could show You
How could I prove to You o Jesus
how much I love You?

I thought I knew how to love
until You changed me.
My whole life is You
for You are my world now
But I dont know how
I could show You
How could I prove to You o Jesus,
how much I love you?
Aida (Maryland, MD)

God we are like plants that want to grow.
These are the things that keep us from growing:
-Peer pressure
-Disbelief
-Lack of self confidence
These are the things that help us grow:
-Putting yourself in others shoes
-Support from peers, family, teachers and strangers
-Learn to correspond with those you dont always get along with
-Get to know those who you thought were unfriendly
-Go to church regularly
Jyan (Ivanhoe, Victoria)

The race goes to the horse who runs for utter joy.

Lips and hands must measure before they dispense their wares.

Set an extra plate for an unexpected guestâ€” someday it could be you.

What you most despise in your sisters eyes
is what your own reflection reveals.

Darkness and rain
bring birdsong.

A stately house shrinks beside the one
whose walls vibrate with laughter.

To stand your tallest, plant your feet on rock.

No one can schedule a natural birth
and it isnt over when the screams begin.

Ask for your desire and when you receive it
offer it up again.

When the sun shines,
focus its light in your body

and when the rains pour down,
the rocks will glow before you.

Take the hands of children
for they fix their eyes on you

and when you grow weak
they will scoop you into their arms.

Bite into the apple of love, enjoy its juice
and let the seeds fall all around you.
Kathleen (Glen Falls, New York)

where is the line
between compulsion and will?
must I have my own way
or does it have me?
when Im out of control
who is in charge?
God gives me choices
Im not qualified to make

AND HOW ELSE WILL YOU LEARN?

oh yeah
never mind
Allen (Columbus, Ohio)

Dear loving Creator, I beseech you to wrap your arms around all who hunger and give them sustenance while in your warm and loving embrace.
Surround the suffering with your mighty and powerful protection.
Aid all those who combat hunger and evil with granting justice to all.
I ask in Jesus our Saviour and Redeemers name.
Amen.
Brenda (London, Ontario)

One river flowing free,

long and strong you used to be.

but sewage ruins your lovely face,

and fish no longer grace you.

Oh, river flowing long and free,

you are not what you used to be.

Grace Ronan (, )

Poems from Youth Group members at Wesley, Tauranga Methodist Parish

It’s Pentecost day.

We celebrate together.

Then we understand.

tongues of fire settle

upon the gathered people.

Old and young alike will dream.

God’s Spirit poured out.

Kaeleigh (Wesley, Tauranga)

Poems from Youth Group members at Wesley, Tauranga Methodist Parish

God is good.

God tastes like fruit.

God sounds like laughter.

Christopher (Wesley, Tauranga)

Poems from Youth Group members at Wesley, Tauranga Methodist Parish

God is yellow like the sun

God tastes like grapes.

God sounds like a bumblebee.

God feels like a feather quilt.

God smells like wafting smoke.

God is yellow like the sun;

his memory is like a river.

A strong scent of extinguished candle follows him around.

His millions of loving arms surround us like a warm feather quilt.

Sophie (Wesley, Tauranga)
