I Write of Things

I write of things that I believe I’m our father’s son So I try to make good of the bad Use the things I’ve done To try help others understand Open their eyes to see That the Lords forgiving love Is beautiful and free The Lord brought me to this place This is where I belong I love to listen to the music As it plays my song My song has gone from Heavy Metal To a ballad soft and low More important than spreading the seeds Is loving them as they grow I just woke up if you have happened to read my other poem and I feel a lot better now. I've decided to keep my appointments if it's not to late so I have to run. I sure love you all.

Thankfully, for all of us, the Lord is forgiving. What a wonderful testamony of the gift of faith. Can't say I was ever into Heavy Metal but I enjoy a good ballad. Love the last two lines of the fourth stanza. Blessings to you for sharing this inspirational poem with us. Thank you for your kind comments on my fibonacci. Karen

the last 2 lines are just the perfect ending to a hard day. That dream pushed you to stay in the moment, and see more good athan bad - you win! I always have about 90 poems or so waiting to be posted, and I pick them at random to post each day...I posted "waging war upon my fear" in honor of your last poem, as it just fit with the comments I wrote you on your last...much love, Kristin

I love this write, filled with changes and posistivity, the Lord can make all the wrongs right, you just have to have the faith and keep it, nothing in the world is as important as having this love and acceptance that you get from the Lord, take care D-nyce
