God Sends Promises and Love

God Sends Promises and Love


God sends rain, snow , all kinds of weather
 sweet love that brings us all together
A miracle or two when we so badly need it
 gardens of fruits if we but weed it!

God gifts our lives with our sweet kids
 pulls us up when our lives hit the skids
Brushes us off with gentle mercies divine
 blesses us with good food and his wine!

God sent love by way of his Savior Son
 miracles of love not to ever be outdone
Rainbows showing promises very sublime
 a reward of love and eternity in time!

God stands the Rock that meets our needs
Forgives us of even the most wicked deeds!

Yes, His mercy and love are unfathomable and everlasting. Not some mystical thing we can't get hold of, but down to the nitty, gritty details of everyday life. An easy seven for me.

This is a true reflection of how similar you and I are when it comes to poems. I do have several poems of a religious nature and really like this one. I have re-written my poem of the day. Check it out. Would appreciate your analysis. I want to enter it into a National Poetry Contest. Jim Horn

Doing the weeding literally and metaphorically is not so easy sometimes..One thing about God if one belongs to Him if the weeding doesn't work the first time one gets the chance over and over and over..Thanks for the visit to my page..Sara
