Christina Bowring Poet Rhyme

In His Will

In his teaching I am shown right from wrong
And aim to be wise as the days grow long
Out of the dark with opened eyes that see
An enlightened life ahead waits for me

A heart that’s full of loving compassion
Embrace all his creatures with a passion 
Through his love I hope to be more grateful
Stay true to myself and be more faithful 

To be alert and listen to his call
Loving hands awaits me if I should fall
Longing to be one with all true desire
Flame inside me will glow as if on fire

In his will the quest is there to achieve
Loving blessings, grace, given to receive
As I journey on the path hand in hand
Alone shall I never be left to stand

Diligently I shall seek with devotion
To finally be a drop in the ocean

Andrea Dietrich January 16, 2024 at 4:26 PM Boy I had to search to find a poem I had not read yet. This is wonderful spiritual rhyme Christina Bowring January 17, 2024 at 11:41 AM Bless you Andrea. Thank you so much for your searching and finding one to leave such uplifting, happy comments for. So appreciated. I’m going to start reading and enjoying some of your older ones as they can be left behind can’t they and deserve to be appreciated all over again :)

Speaks Volumes January 13, 2024 at 3:08 PM Your poem speaks to me, depicting you as a wave in His ocean, growing stronger and with more purpose, undulating gently rolling towards a wonderous shore as His word enlightens you with his teaching. Far more than a drop dear Chris, far more than a writer of poems. A poet creator of staggeringly beautiful poetry. Bless you. Christina Bowring January 15, 2024 at 12:16 AM Dear SV, such gracious, wonderful comments from you and your caring, generous heart and how they deeply touched me. These beautiful words from you will be cherished and when I have self doubts, they will be at the helm guiding me. I cannot thank you enough dear one. Much, much gratitude and blessings xx

Sam Scott November 8, 2023 at 9:15 AM This is as much a prayer as a poem, Christina, for me. Your final line speaks of relinquishing control, and humility but also being part of something much greater. No drop is wasted all have their important purpose. Thank you for this :) Christina Bowring November 8, 2023 at 12:47 PM Hi Sam. Thank you so much for your welcome visit and leaving such a thoughtful and insightful response.
