Lost is Found

Memorial Day. Remembrances.  Sacrifice.
My dad served in the Navy during World War II.
In keeping with my blog tradition of posting a poem written by my dad on or near special days, his prose is below. And to mark the beginning of summer, I am sharing a picture of one of my dad's favorite places...The Lake. Happy Memorial Day. I pray you are enjoying some time with your family. ~Lori

"Whenever I return to the CABIN

 I am filled with the strongest feeling that something that was lost is found." Robert Appel

Dear Lord,

Perhaps I will find

Within this place,

Some joy, some peace

Some hope, some grace.

Perhaps I will find

Strength and courage too,

Enough to face tomorrow

Surely my spirit renew.

Perhaps I will find

within these walls,

Thy blest dominion Lord

Clearly my soul recalls.

But best of all

Here I now find,

Thy very presence Lord

and yesterdays are left behind.

Amen.
