A Poem In Memory Of Sarah Beiler

~~Where Peaceful Waters Flow~~

The clouds break forth
the streams of light
To dance upon the earth,
And cradled in the sands of time,
Comes a newborn babies birth.

A gentle breeze blows
through the night,
It whispers through the grass,
And ripples on the water form
As rain glistens on the glass.

And you listen to the sound,
The Lords' presence all around.
He summons us to go
Where peaceful waters flow.

A rainbow arcs across the sky,
A promise is displayed.
The graceful flight
of a butterfly,
It takes my breath away.

The autumn leaves
in their splendor
Fall gracefully to the earth,
And stars proclaim
their song at night,
What is their beauty worth?

And you listen to the sound,
The Lords' presence all around.
He summons us to go
Where peaceful waters flow
