My Poetry's Heart
My poetry’s heart, pumped by grace
Breathes out God’s love of mercy’s trace
Certainties divinely assure
Amidst challenges’ harsh pressure
Expressed by verse and rhymes of praise.*
Throbbing with truths along life’s race
Flowing through veins of faith-embrace
Revealed in grand stanzas’ pleasure…
My poetry’s heart.
Realities --- feelings appraise
Though afflictions dare to erase
Revival assertions’ treasure
Surpassing syllable-measure
Empowering gratitude brace…
My poetry’s heart.
*Psalm 86:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and I will glorify thy name for evermore.
