Reason A. Poteet Poet Triolet

Grace, a Godsend

 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said...
“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
Tell Me, if you have understanding...
When the morning stars sang together
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?"
Job 38: 1, 4, 7  

Grace, a godsend, good night my friend;
the stars are peeking down on us.
Yes, I’ve been sent your hurts to mend -
grace, a godsend, good night my friend.
Innkeeper has more funds to spend
should you need them for pain and thus -
grace, a godsend, good night my friend;
the stars are peeking down on us.

Andrea Dietrich July 2, 2026 at 1:04 AM A gracious poem, Reason. Thanks for trying out my contest and congratulations Reason A. Poteet July 2, 2026 at 7:34 AM Gracious is perfect for this particular piece (on grace) and I thank you for the contest and your encouraging comment and placement. I have edited your prompt line only by one word but hence had to change the rhyme in line six;. However, your theme thought is still there and now includes both characters.

Charles Reese June 19, 2026 at 11:06 PM Very nicely done. It reminds me of the parable of the good Samaritan in the bible Reason A. Poteet June 20, 2026 at 4:50 AM I appreciate your comment, Charles. Yes, that parable is the inspiration that lets Christians volunteer to help others with no obligation or fees. A very rewarding response to our Lord's sacrifice for us. Thank you!
