Notes About The Poem

For Sara Kendrick's How You Feel And How God Feels Poetry Contest

_______________________________________________________________________

Come to the Waters

I
try to
be honest
in all I say
and do. God gifted
me authenticity.
Those who really know me
can trust in my sincerity,
so I will come to the waters to
kneel there with gratitude for that and more.

Knowing me completely, God knows my thoughts,
and he knows my prayers are forthright.
For all his blessings I thank Him.
Knowing that He wants me to 
magnify my callings
with integrity,
I worship God,
the Son, and
Holy
Ghost.

I also believe in the same, Faith Hope, and charity! Beautiful write, very cleverly assembled. Assembled? Sounds like it needs a better verb!

Anyway, Not everyone in life gets what they want. I just keep thinking life is a blink of an eye compared to al eternity. The Near Death experiences I have heard of changed my thinking a lot, and now I cannot wait to get to the other side. It has to be an incredible feeling . Freedom from all pain and seeing loved ones again. Just believe that, John. All will be fine.

I do believe. I just feel hopeless not getting my prayers answered, but I guess it's just my fate.
