~ PLACED FIRST~

 

When you stagger under the heavy weight of life, There will hardly be anyone to ease your grief. But there is always God as your anchor and fort He is there ever gracious and ready to support. When you make up your mind to reach God, You’ll see a chasm separating you and the Lord. Your legs may grow weary as you begin to walk. Hurdles and impediments, your path may block. Don’t be discouraged, please hold on to this anchor As in chilly winter, for a warm day, we all hanker. The opulence of this world, can never fill your heart. It is in God you will find life’s whole comfort. When sorrow strikes and life turns utterly bleak, And in every trial of life, it’s Him that you should seek. Into His caring hands, your life’s reins, you give. He is enough to solve all your problems, do believe!

Congratulations Valsa on the top placement of your poem in this contest. Every line of your write resonates with me, particularly the second couplet : "But there is always God as your anchor and fort He is there ever gracious and ready to support." Wish you a spiritual week ahead.

This gave my soul immense comfort and warmth, dear poetess. It's feels so lovely to immerse myself in the purity of your spiritual words. Having gone through such a phase in life, I solely believe in the divine light of the Lord and that He is the ultimate saviour! We should hold onto the sacred thread that invisibly binds us to hope and finally, leads us home... So many lines I absolutely felt here as they resonated so well! "The opulence of this world, can never fill your heart" Exactly!! Soul-moving and incredibly heart-touching throughout! You've depicted the true essence of life here and with so much wisdom that I really admire in your poetry! Thank you so much for sharing this brilliant piece with us, layered with myriad poetic techniques, rhymes and emotions, all blended so beautifully together. Sending you so much light and best wishes, always! Lovely to read ur words, once again ~ it's a FAVE
