Books by James E Griffiths
Rainbows and Butterflies is a compilation of poems written to capture moments of clarity in a world that often is overcome by distraction. To set aside these moments in a way that is indelible; written for the ones I love; I have assembled these to share and minister to those who have these feelings, but not the words, to speak to the matters of the heart. It is not unique in human terms; but in the kinship that binds us together in love. We are so different... yet very much the same.
Some people journal to understand and archive their experiences, feelings and dreams. I write poetry. Each poem is hand crafted to amplify and clarify those events that touched my heart over the years. It is my hope they will touch your heart as well.
No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead he puts it on the stand, so that those who come in may see the light. Luke 11:33
I pray that these will light your way.

Rainbows and Butterflies
Early one morning, To the west there appeared, A rainbow so glorious It beckoned a tear God hung this huge art work From the heavens on high For all that would see it Could smile and then sigh A reminder of promises To care and to love, For each who believes Sent straight from above. This rainbow so beautiful You couldn’t help but to stare, So massive and brilliant Nothing man made compares. Later that day, While tending our garden, A butterfly danced Midst the lilac laced garland So fragile and delicate It floated and flittered, With a purpose and fancy, From nearby to hither I thought of the glory Of these things that I’ve seen, And how God can build rainbows And butterfly wings.
