Become Wise One's ne'er too elderly to become wise And perceive we need Jesus in our life With faith to resonate in heart supplies. Christ sacrificed, that wounds worse than a knife Wouldn't it fetch much joy and a blessed release Believing and existing without strife. Our requisite the Holy Prince of Peace To guide us till life’s journey has to end With hope of gracing His heavenly fleece. With Jesus Christ we'd wish to be a friend Plead for His pardon and swallow your pride Pray for love and grace that heaven does send. Be meek and mild, strive to be purified It's the hand above that can turn the tide. 4th July 2021 Jesus Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina Mcintosh ****** ***

This is so beautiful is should go on a prayer card, I love the design you did with it. Take care and keep penning, it keeps us young (wink wink) beautiful too !

Thank you Vie, a prayer card is a lovely idea I could do some for handing out in church. If poetry kept us young and beautiful I’d look about twenty three, that's half a century younger than the age I’m soon to be… Belle
