Adele Bercich Poems

Our Rock and Foundation
May you be revered for all that you do.
Let your power be on display in our marriage as we seek to live your ways.
Grow our relationship to emulate the coming marriage of Christ to His bride - the church.
...

I've always loved to flick my Zippo
Why I started I don't know

But lighting, closing there I'd sit
...

How many of us know that we're called to be Son-bathers;
To wash ourselves in the love and grace of Jesus?

To let the dirt and stink of the world go,
...

I am depressed, I'm not diseased
You won't get sick by being with me.

Believe me, I don't want to feel this
...

I started life as a hairy worm
Eating until I was fat and firm

This stage was simple, easy too
...

I've heard it said that if you're trying to move up it's who you know not what you know. This is true not only in our careers, but in freedom too. To be free, it's Who you know, not what you know.

The more you know the Who,
The more bad habits change in you.
...

We've got joy, we've got peace,
We've got comfort in our grief.

We've got love, we've got trust,
...

Lord I find myself in this burning room again
This room that is alight with the flames of my own endeavours
I am blinded, choking on the smoke of their consequences
The stress, anxiety, and exhaustion
...

Thank you Lord for Twenty Ten
The things you've done, where to begin?

Love and forgiveness for me and Dad
...

Sex, Drink and Rock n Roll
This way of life soon took its toll
Left me empty lost and cold
Before my time, I'm feeling old
...
