Rising Still Like the tide during days of spring with a subtle gentle breeze. You will find I'm rising still though I'm down on my knees. Asking God to see me through whatever comes my way. Sending angels, come to me. These are the things I pray. Like never ending water and waves out in the sea. Help me to help others is all I ask of thee. Giving sight unto the blind to see the things now hid. Help me to help others the way that Jesus did. Let them see the light within God give me light to shine. Let me be for them today the water turned to wine. For the many broken now that somehow lost their way. Grant me gifts to give to them in words that I might say. Let them see the You in me when life tears at their will. And let them see the You in me when they see I'm rising still. Edwin C Hofert

A sincere poem prayer that honors our Lord, and Savior. I'd give you a 7, but already see you have been given one.

Powerful write that anyone can relate to. This touches an inner chord. You wrapped it up perfectly with the last two lines. Be blessed, Ed, for you are a blessing. :-)
