Relationship Rock Part Two

It seems the ring so sparkly, caught the eye of some observer, stopping in to talk the time I took to pray, no more a balk about God's reason, yet I knew the walk! The ring was gone ~ the visitor's compel was just to steal my precious place of tell engagement has a message, not a spell, the years were growing on ~ the friendship . . knell! I kept the rock for every venture then and still had faith, that God would feel my yen and finally God spoke ~ a "go there" call the rock and I complied ~ just leave it all! In kindness, in that interlude's recall God spoke ~ "Someday, the rock will also go" He meant, the pain and hardship, reconcile to serving in whole Faith ~ no regret, well! My new encounter ~ challenges e'er mount 'til one day, just a rock, I felt a swell and to the River I now went, walking with pride and tossed the Rock ~ so lifeless ~ hearing tide! Ker-plunk ~ and waves that came to meet my eye God had his reason ~ for my life's comply in that same spot ~ Missouri River bend would meet and love, and love ~ again, again! No more the reckless yearning of the Soul the sunrise had tomorrow, a new goal how awesome is the power God gives to Love and from His giving ~ leadership acquit! Each term relationship ~ wanting to fit to that resolving Glory . . . true love's writ! Note ~ A true story ~ In that same spot, years later, I would write and format the cover for a book of Poetry ~ "Praying Love" ~ of which many of my poems are on this Website. Paula (Read)
