Barbara Barry-Nishanian Poet Rhyme

Just a Speck of Dust

You’ll never be my heart or world,
only my God can be
He saw me as an embryo,
and knew … who I would be

God knew even sinews of me,
before not much to see
He’s my always, my everything,
in joy … or agony

He’s my strength when my weakest, my
adrenalin for pain
My hope, when disillusioned, and
my sunshine … in the rain

He’s my comfort when lost loved ones,
my eyes when couldn’t see
My faith when so disillusioned
lost me … I use to be

I’m nothing just a “speck of dust”
among dust on the earth
Forever grateful in me sees,
a speck … he thinks has worth

FJ Thomas December 15, 2022 at 1:19 PM Brava Barbara! Most beautiful your incorporation of scripture to upbuild and strengthen. It reads so touchingly and yet not preachy. Lovely :) Barbara Barry-Nishanian December 17, 2022 at 4:40 PM Poet Thomas, appreciate your appreciation of my love of scriptures, and your kind words. Believe me, I do get preachy. hope if you read one of them you will critique it, even if don't like it... or agree. Give honest reply. Thank you!
