Richard Lamoureux Poet Quatrain

Living Psalm

I absorb your amazing
As I struggle to grow
My spirit is so excited
Still my heartbeat does slow

For I finally understand 
The reason you are calm
You’re more than a parable 
You are a living psalm

God in human form
Not one to deceive 
Miracles at your hand
Yet so few of us believe

My faith is so small
There is much to forgive
My choices are many
in this world that I live

So I hand it to you
This burden so large
Because I only have stress
When I am in charge

Your yoke is not heavy
You know all I need
I follow your footprints 
As you take the lead

My light in the darkness 
You fulfill each desire
The path to your Kingdom
Takes me higher and higher.
