Notes About The Poem

Once being a party girl, was so moved, now in my 60's now seeing the country of my patriotic devotion being divided politically, as avidly as there had been racial divisions in our world as long as I could remember. But this dividing running reampid throughout our land was like a disease affecting the vital parts, families. And this brought me to my knees. And when I rose again, with peace restored and with a new direction, to keep my eyes on God, because God's eye was upon America.

BIBLICAL NOT POLITICAL

Biblical Not Political 

A young woman turned political in my day
Pulled in to a debating world on topics that would sway 
Involved with the topics disappointed with news,
Failing our race with disgrace, and political power misused.

All my life an American patriot, since from sixteen I recall,
believing “United we stand, and divided we fall.”
Seeing a nation now divided before my eyes,
with such extreme that one’s party of choice, could mean their demise.

Having affiliation with both political sides, now feeling displaced,
Now deciding that for peace and guidance, to seek God’s face. 
He showed me a vision of an eagle, only to watch and pray,
for our country and whatever President, of our day,
 
He showed me that for voting guidance, not for what will be heard,
To open up my Bible and study His Word.
“I will use whomever I will; but you this day,
whether a King is righteous or is wicked, I will have my way.”

“My eye is on the eagle, but you keep your eyes on me, 
for my Word shall also be fulfilled in your present day.
On that day I left my patriotism in God’s hand,
for the failing ground of America, His Word I now stand! 

Biblical not political, is the way I now go, 
Encouraging unity in Christ Jesus, is all you need to know.
