Invitation to Poetry

Honouring Our Ancestors

---

Thank you for the precious gifts

of faith bequeathed to us.

The chalice of communion love,

and the eternal Word of grace.

-
The rays of sun upon a leaf

or the dew drop laden frond,

the birdsong at the birth of day

or the arrowed flights at dusk.

-
These precious moments fade away

with the turning of time’s hand,

but love and grace reach out to us

through the gateways of the past.

Christine is having her 40th Invitation to Poetry party over at the Abbey of the Arts. The latest theme is called Honoring the Ancestors and the inspiration is supplied using the beautiful photograph above. Go and see for yourself all the wonderful contributions.
