Notes About The Poem

Written on January 18, 2025

Lasting Joy

I heard her singing to the morn Soft and still, as if meant to warn Where the black night dwindles to day There is a joy that’s sure to stay Whisper of the bluebird in flight Rising from the murkiest night Honest as one who kneels to pray There is a joy that’s sure to stay I never knew such precious grace As the love on His gentle face Love far brighter than the sun’s ray There is a joy that’s sure to stay Gentle words so softly spoken Lifting up the heart who’s broken Peace in the soul on the Lord’s Day There is a joy that’s sure to stay Rise to hear the song of the wood Revealing the hope that withstood Listen to God’s word and obey There is a joy that’s sure to stay Sing to the night, sing to the light Wherever He is, all is right His sweet love will never betray There is a joy that’s sure to stay Write it down, poetries in word Breath of wonder, at last we’ve heard Believe and never go astray There is a joy that’s sure to stay It rises on the wings of praise His love will forever amaze He is the One who ends the gray There is a joy that’s sure to stay Silence the windstorm with His still Blessing souls, He’ll ever fulfill Our sin debt, Jesus took away There is a joy that’s sure to stay All the fears, the tears and the years Are quieted when He appears And, when our lifetime, we replay There is a joy that’s sure to stay Follow the One who came to give Saving souls so we’ll always live In the sky, in heaven someday There is a joy that’s sure to stay

So moving. A beautiful write, so well composed with flowing lines and rhymes that captivate while delivering truths I never tire of hearing. Your pen shines in this poem and I enjoyed it, oh so very much - Amen ... CayCay

So pretty. Both picture and poem. I think it is longest kyrielle I may have ever seen. But it's good to know for your contest that they can be more than four stanzas.

Wow, such a song of praise. I am sure some person can put this into music then you could sing it at praise time during church! IF this is the example for your contest, I am not sure I can live up to the bar this high, but wording a poem this nicely is definitely aiming my pen to the moon.
