My Pledge of Allegiance

"My Pledge of Allegiance"
by:  Eric L. Boddie

I Pledge Allegiance To The Word
Because there is no greater sound I've ever heard
I Pledge Allegiance To The Son
Because His Sacrifice Allows me Earthly Life And Beyond
I Pledge Allegiance To The Father
Because He Loves me better than any other
I Pledge Allegiance To The Holy Ghost
Because His Level Of Power Is By Far The Most
I Pledge Allegiance To His Love
Because It Protects me from danger and things thereof
I Pledge Allegiance To His Teachings
Instead of the one who is doing the Preaching
I Pledge Allegiance To His Every Commandment
It takes both, Reading And Prayer, To Understand It
I Pledge Allegiance To His Work
Even if it leads me to where evil lurks
I Pledge Allegiance To His Holy Fight
Because i truly want to bask in Heaven's Light
I Pledge Allegiance To His Faith
Because nothing is more Beautiful than His Grace
No flag, no nation, no constitution....I know so many will say that is odd
But I am just one of His Children, my Only Allegiance Is To God

We should all love God because surely no one can love us more than Him and only from following His way can we enter the gates of heaven, I really enjoyed reading this wonderful poem of yours, good luck my friend and have a really nice day

I couldn't agree with you more faraz….but the sad reality is that too many of us only put up a front when it comes to God....they believe in religion which was formulated by man and meant to divide whereas Faith Can Only Come From God And Through Christ....God Bless you my friend....

thank you so much mr Robert....I feel every writer meets writer's block from time to time....I mean I can write about anything at any time but if it doesn't come naturally then it just wont be anywhere close to good in my book....

Grrreat poem, Eric!! Every line sparked w/unquenchable faith. A sapphire pavilion of ink steps covered in royal Alpha-Omega light. Another beautiful righteous poem, my brother in Christ. Love waves of joy forever shining.
