My Personal Abc

Ayrshire is where I grew up Bible is God's book inspired and divine Christine the great love of my present life Drawn into contentment a real true sign Encouragement found in God forever my friend Films full of love and action are my scene Gordon's my name Scottish born and bred Holidays enjoyed with lakes our theme Inspiration moves one to push my pen Jean my first love pointed me to the Lord Kilmarnock is a special town of my formative years Lord Jesus Christ who showed His sharp sword Music has influenced me throughout my life Never seen scenery like the Swiss countryside Opened my mind biblically reading John Calvin Poetry became my great love always to abide Quotes are a means to instill my thought life Renfrew now my home town a burgh royal Stammer has always been here to haunt me Tension fuels my stammer rising to boil Unknown to many but hoped to impress a few Voices in tune what a pleasure to hear Words are a treasure, especially making a rhyme Xercise my legs, walking to be in top gear Yellow is my favorite colour so fully bright Zealous for truth especially God's truth so right (My personal ABC, looking back over my life bringing together all that importantly comes to mind.)

What a wonderful poem, telling us who you are, what you believe, and where you come from. Also what you enjoy, what you desire, what you read, the films you like to see, where you live, about your wife Christine and about your never ending love for God and Christ. I am faving this poem Gordon, kudos my friend. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.
