Reason A. Poteet Poet Rhyme

Embodying the Light

Man's Advocate, Christ, returned to heaven's gates
yet, earth's need for Light remained paramount.
God had planned remedy which illuminates
man's body and soul from within like a fount.

Thus dwells seeds of truth in all those who embrace
God's Spirit, causing man's spirit to be stirred.
Light makes Himself known and His raw truth we taste,
digested daily from the truth in God's Word.

With prayer, conscience matures and converys
nourishment for a new diet of service.
Reproof brings discipline when our spirit strays
feasting with him who vainly tries to swerve us.

Wisdom absorbed into its mind, soul and frame,
our being can bring glory to our Maker;
with thoughts, words, deeds that proclaim His holy name -
three-fold - Creator, Savior and Caretaker.


For its worth in forgiveness and redemption,
our faith is sustained to the endpoint of sight
when we join our Christ at the doors of heaven
hearing, "Well done, you've broadcasted My Light."

Sotto Poet January 25, 2025 at 11:00 AM Oh, my Friend, you have written a stunning poem that reflects your conviction in the transforming effect of heavenly light and truth on believers' lives. It highlights the value of faith, guidance, and service to God and depicts the human spirit's journey toward illumination and atonement. Reason A. Poteet January 25, 2025 at 5:21 PM Thank you Sotto, God has blessed me so much but especially in the trying months before my husband passed last year. God’s loving kindness has carried me with peace and thanksgiving that Henry did not have to be moved to a nursing care facility.
