NEVER IN OBLIVION
"That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments." Psalms 78:7 of the King James Bible
Opportunities divine that made me grow
Blessed my faith by the Lord midst service-glow
Leading toward loving gratitude flow
Imparting joy for a victorious New Year cargo…
Vividly they vanquish every sorrow and woe
Instilling goodness of testimony-show
Optimistically, I bury them not in oblivion-blow
Now, my heart smites forgetfulness’ shadow.
Never will I surrender to oblivion-foe
Enabled by the Lord Who does bestow
Values as well as virtues of reaching-out bough
Empowering my spirit for kindness here below
Reverberating heaven's kindness with His truth I know.
