I Am Poetry Contest

Sponsor- Unseeking Seeker

~Placed fourth~

In me is a spark divine. A vivid light that shines within, Lifting the pall and connecting me With God and my fellow beings. Let me be, what God intended me to be: Neither a wicked elf, nor a fairy godmother, Never a demon, nor an angel, But a true woman, One with a loving heart, Calm and caring, With passionate dreams of love and laughter. I enquire what my true design is- In my life, love and light is all I seek, As I know there is no greater gift than love. With God on my side and by His blessing, I wish to gracefully run towards the finishing line, Feeling the strength running through my veins, When years slip past in the blink of an eye. How gracefully God does guide my ways! Embracing the divine each day, I try to piece together different roles. Let me into a close-knit texture weave, The fabric of my life, Like the interlacing threads Of a great tapestry! In a way, is not living the art of quilting Bringing out unique patterns, Of exquisite beauty and delight From the scraps thrown in our way!

WOW, my dear Valsa! How I enjoy reading what echoes in me about you! As a human being, a beautiful soul, a poetess of grandeur, "Never a demon nor an angel "! You are aware of who you are.. "a true woman" of great worth with a mission in life! With "a loving heart" who cares for every single living creature in this world and who is willing to lend a hand, a heart, time and effort to serve humanity.. guided by the divinity and grace of God, you are on the path of beauty and light! Stay blessed

A beautiful write, what you will not be; and the exquisite weaving and patterns, as you let God transform you, with grace, love, and light.
