Forgotten Son Rise - Ten Words

She stares into the misty morning shadow;
a crimson sky just breaking the distant shore. 
Once an endless tempest of doubt she'd grow;
His grace no longer forgotten; her faith He'd restore.

Each yesterday devoid of any compassion. 
Her dreams are filled with tenderness and affection 
but she knew not love of any depth or fashion.
The harvest of her spirit reaped only abjection

Now she smiles as the coming sun greets the shore
The pain of yesterday but a fading reflection 
In her heart she will hold His grace forevermore 
No longer in shadow but wrapped in His protection 

Her dreams are filled with tenderness and affection
His grace no longer forgotten; her faith He'd restore
No longer in shadow but wrapped in His protection 
Now she smiles as the coming Son greets the shore

This is beautiful. A lovely flow with great rhyme and touching subject. A very nice example of how to write a quatrain.

Morning James :) because I used some randomly placed repeating lines I wasn't quite sure how I was going to label this one. I guess it could fit under that! Thank you James

Great poem. Life is full of pain and sorrow but we do have the hope. Jesus went to the Father and is preparing rooms for us and will return again. Oliver
