Loved By Him


Life is wonderful when you're by faith led, 
Giving you hope when heart's heavy as lead;

Trust in God, He knows the count of your hair, 
Let Him guide, don't be a fidgety hare;

Lean on the Lord when life is hard to bear, 
Surrender, you can to Him your heart bare;

Saved by grace through faith, no need to pay fare, 
Look to God in prayer when life's not fair;

He will take care, worry not for your bread, 
He loves you, no matter where you are bred.

A beautiful message poem. I took it that we needed to use the same rhyme all the way through, but if not, then I think you will stand a fantastic chance at a win!

Jo, this reads like a meditation on the Sermon on the Mount. Lovely use of homophones to bring a message of faith and hope in God. I particularly like the line "Saved by grace through faith, no need to pay fare". It's SO good to see you back at Poetry Soup! I have missed you very much ~ John
