  • What Is It We Celebrate?

    Many seem to wonder As Christmas comes around once more, Why they have waited in anticipation; What they have waited for. Perhaps they thought it was Santa Or maybe presents under the tree – The buzzing excitement in the shopping malls The children, blithe and free! Maybe it was the carols – The chance to…

  • Out Of The Darkness

    Out of the darkness, Came a new sound; A pillar of strength, Where hope was found. First came a forth a glimmer, Then creative torrents flowed – A heart gaping open, As in tears, I sowed. More and more, This new song came; New melody, new chords A new found flame. It mattered  not Whether…

  • Celebrate Jesus All Year!

    It’s not just a story or fairytale It’s not just a ritual or play – That is what so many reduce it to When thinking of Christmas Day. We may ponder all that came about; The trip to Bethlehem – Mary and Joseph and the King Soon to be born to them. Yet all of…

  • How could You have stood there, Without a word to say, As they jeered and mocked and bound You up Leading You away. I would have had a thousand words To silence all their lies, But every word You didn’t say Was spoken through Your eyes; For while they made a fool of You, And…

  • Standing there under warm lights, Violin raised and bow drawn, I found you in that sea of faces At sweet, innocent, fifteen. I’d never seen you through that lens And perhaps never will again; A thrill not equalled on that stage- Proud moment standing still. As I played, you did not know The ballad became…
