GIVING OCEAN

GIVING OCEAN

I

Wave upon wave
Giving ocean
wave upon wave
with your infinite love
you bathe the shores
of our souls.

Wave upon wave
day alter day
you see our longings
and meet our needs.

Yesterday a shielding wave
today one of Kindness,
wave upon wave
you shower and shower
your bounty, your Grace.

Instant by instant,
breath by breath,
the flow and passing
of your love waves within us
our hearts you bathe.

With waves cadenced
with loving waves,
a wave and one more wave
you overflow our souls
our Adored.


II

One move and another
a flapping of wings
and the bird soars in its flight.

A month and another,
season after season
and the seed is transformed
until becoming a grand tree.

Drop by drop,
leaf after leaf
cloud by cloud
you fill this creation
with your omnipresence,
most cherished Giver.

In your constant construction
moment to moment, Father,
with the Benevolence of your bequests
you saturate the created with excellence.


III

Breath after breath
a flutter of love from the Generous
a wave ascending
a wave descending,
tenderly you hold us.


For the wave that rises
for the wave that falls
from your breath within us,
we grow towards You, Life
Love Supreme, to You we soar.

Minute by minute
you make existence clear
your harmony enlivens us,
you are consciousness,
you are the joy of living.


IV

Bud after bud
blade after blade
you upholster in green tenderness
the carpet of your children.

Rose after rose
flower by flower
your sweet Generousity
expresses its uncontainable affection,
manifests its inexahustable perfection.

Wave and then another
Kindness after Kindness
your gifts to all, Father,
engulf us daily
with their nameless bounty.

Infinite Thanks
for your Perfect Kindness
Maker of all
loving Creator.
