Happiness

a rhymed acrostic H Hung'ring for righteousness, I am content, A Attacked by foes, a reward put in place. P Peacemaker mid conflict, a child of God, P Pure in heart, I shall see Him face to face. I Inheriting the earth when meekness rules, N Needy in spirit, Jesus gives more grace. E Eased from my mourning, I comfort others. S Seeking mercy, mercy I embrace - S Sharing salt and light, seasoning my world. based on the beatitudes of the Bible Matthew 5:3-16 written 15 December 2015 Sponsor Beata Agustin Contest Name BEATITUDE RHYMING POEM

thanks, Ashley, it holds great hope and promise straight from the Bible, restated in rhyme and acrostic.
