Notes About The Poem

Written on May 19, 2024

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

Premiere Contest WinnerJesus of Galilee

There are things I won’t forget about my past. Lessons, many strewn throughout my heart and soul. Endless tears sometimes bleed, feel they’ll ever last. Those tears pass by, and I know they’ve made me whole. I’ve been blessed to know God wouldn’t leave me downcast. His love and grace, bound to comfort and console. Where He leads, I’ll follow, seeking His relief. He restores my hope and peace, soothing my grief. There are restless lures that try to dim my light, Despite my worst fear, I have One who is brave. For my soul, He isn’t scared to stand up and fight. He’s the King who died for sinners He forgave. Since I know Him as my Lord, my heart is right, Oh, my, my, how I love that King who can save! Reflected in each dawn are hints of His love. He always stirs my heart with joy from above. There is music He plays, love so like a song, His gentle love feels like the sweetest embrace. Where I’m downright weak, He makes me fully strong. When I’m most humble, He tells me of His grace. Knowing love like this will never lead you wrong. I’m so eager to meet Jesus face-to-face. When I leave this world, I know He will meet me. I’m grateful for my Jesus of Galilee.

What a beautiful message in a difficult form to write with such strict format! I also tried my hand at this form and it was so challenging! And I only wrote one, 8 line poem! I love that you compiled 3 verses and each tells a wonderful story. Congratulations on winning this! Xoxo
