Dan Kearley Poet Rhyme

Gods Salt Shaker

Think of yourself as a grain of salt
 in Gods, filled with love salt shaker
Salt he adds to his eternal soup
 enhancing with love he savors

There are a very few grains
 close up to the top
They,the innocent ones
 are the first to drop

Also many others
 in this big ole salt  shaker
Poured to the exact place
 to be used by our creator

Yet,some stubborn grains
 still clinging to the sides
In disbelief that it was He
 who created their simple lives

If you feel that you've been moved,
 at any moment by our creator
Think of these loving grains of salt,
 being shaken for the love he savors

Richard Lamoureux November 21, 2012 at 7:27 AM We are the salt of the Earth and it only takes a small amount of salt to permeate the intirety of the World. You are certainly not clinging to the side of the salt shaker. Thanks for adding some flavor.

Terry O'Leary October 11, 2012 at 3:32 PM I can't remember exactly... isn't there an idiom (or some such) to the effect that salinity is the spice of life... or insanity is the lice of strife... or somethine like that... I guess it's gettin' kinda late... But it was nice reading this poem... Terry
