Jennifer Proxenos Poet Free verse

God Is My Light

God is the deity I have been taught from young to respect,
An all-powerful light, streaming down, which I can always detect.
He is Omnipotent, a light of miracles, our almighty everlasting King,
God is my light Supreme, and with, faith, hope and praises,
To Him I sing.
He is unconquerable, invincible, His love like a radiant light
Shining within us, like THE Christmas star so calming 
And so celestially bright.
God is unconquerable, absolutely not vulnerable
His Omnipotence quells my fears, lights my way, He’s invincible.
Light and good is our Omnipresent God, He is always with me,
God for me is all knowing.
I always try to follow the path of light and pray joyfully
With all the faithful.
Have your stairway to heaven clear, and your senses wakeful,
Our Lord God our maker is omniscient, He is all seeing, 
His light is far-reaching, and for me ever comforting
I turn to him with prayer in any hour of grief, His light
Brings me peace, love and light all encompassing.

"His love like a radiant light shining within us", indeed! Blessings and hugs ~ John

Something weird is happening to my poem contest entries in the last month. Joseph, Silent One and Regina, all said that had my poem been entered it would have placed very well indeed, but all three told me it didn't show in the contest, I'm doing nothing different to what I was doing for the last two years. Warm regards, hugs and take great care with this 2nd wave sweeping over planet Earth. Jennifer.
