I Am Nothing

I am nothing but a plain pen in the hands of the Great King
A simple sparrow, singled out solely to solemnly sing...
from the rising of the rainbow, to the release of the rainfall ring;
from the setting of the sun and the springing of seeds in Spring

Adeleke, I really like this. I'ts quite wonderful in its simplicity. I see below here that you got upset over the prodigal remark? Deb is right though, in our culture it only means someone absent from a whlie. WE do not attach a negative meaning to that. LUv, Andrea

sorry if the "prodigal" term upset you I'm apparently not up enough on my biblical reffernces, in the Ma mind it only meant the son who left his Ma's is coming home. BIG HUGS

Hi Adeleke. Thanks for the visit and your kind comments. I seem to have little time lately but hope that this will change. what a great piece this. Makes one think about why we rush and tear about. We are designated a task in life and come what may, we will fullfill. Have a peaceful and joyous time and keep writing those fine works. farewell from Ireland and me.
