At this revelation my mind did finally see that God had spoken lovingly and directly to me! Robert J.Lindley 05-01 2014

God speaks constantly and we for the greater part refuse to listen! If listening we find music, love and blessings galore. Thanks for giving your time to read my humble offering!

I post it last night at my political forum where I had started a poetry thread a month ago .Sadly most do not show a lot of appreciation for the greatness and art of poetry on political sites. Such is life. I get many thanks but only one other citing any poetry.

A post from memory of a poem I wrote many, many years ago(almost four decades ). Written a few months after my baptism. Had to do from memory because my ex-wife stole 4 of my journals that had about 200 poems and trashed them for spite. This one I had a fairly good recollection of because it meant so much to me .
