     Beatrice Bundy Poem by Bea: "To our beloved children":

Today, I strolled down to the lake
To watch the waves roll in.
As I listened to their gentle sound,
I lingered just to think of Him
Who made the earth and sea and sky,
Trees, flowers and birds that fly.
All Creation seemed to testify
Of His power and His love,
They were doing that which they were
Made to do; glorify the Father above.
As I meditated on these things,
He reminded me anew,
That I was also created by Him
To give Him homage due.
I must daily live to glorify
His precious, matchless Name,
Love my neighbor as myself,
Live like Hime whose Name I claim.
So many times I stumble and fall
As I tread along the way,
But His love is there so full and free
To restore me as I pray.
His Presence is so very near;
More precious every day,
And the joy and peace He gives me
Can ne'er be taken away.
Signed; "Mother"
