Here I Am My Lord

Here I am, My Lord,

                                      A hot iron,

                          On the anvil of necessity,

                                         Waiting

                 To be forged by the hammer of destiny

                                            That

                      Is following Thy divine commands

                                             For

                 To shape me, into the proper instrument

                                            Thy 

                               Celestial Will, humbly

                                        To serve!

My dearest friend, Michael, thank you for your precious visit and comment! Well, I reply here to your question for I do not wish to cause any disturbance. The title of the book is " An Aegean Breeze of Peace" You just write my name at The Amazon.com. I had an idea to write on peace as always and came in contact to that professor in the USA who is of Turkish descend. As you know Greeks and Turks are fighting each other for more than a thousand years. It was our way to show that fight must stop. You have not to buy it my friend. Thank you!

It's 2:30 a.m. for me, Demetrios, and I find your words reminding me that we are the clay...He is the potter. Your title also reminds me of one our songs, "Here I am! Send me," from Isaiah 6:8. Your words are like a prayer. Thank you.
