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

Line of inquiry: blessings from above transformed lust to love delusion to illumination earth-heaven bilocation It wasn’t spring, with all its flowery shadows Who taught me wonders too startling to explain More stirring than any rhyme I could compose It wasn’t summer, with its smiles and dancing rain Who taught me beauty far gentler than a tear More light than my soul could possibly contain It wasn’t autumn with her navy skies so clear Who taught me melodies, songs of joy and grace More startling than the wind who hears our prayer It wasn’t winter with snow my heart would embrace Who taught me of a love that would never end More sure that I’d shortly meet Him face to face Seasons passed and my broken heart He would mend He soon changed me and came to be my best friend

"My broken heart he would mend". This faith is so crucial. It is not the wealth of the world or the beauty of the seasons that has changed your life, but His all encompassing grace. As long as you rely on it, you are in for a transformation. I simply love this poem. So well articulated. Into my FAVE. Stay blessed dear Gina!
