New Creation

From bottom to top, 
my house was decayed. 
Through thousands of years 
of commands disobeyed.  
I girdled my loins 
to rebuild my home. 
I re-laid the foundation 
stone by stone. 
Brick by brick 
I rebuilt the walls. 
House was renewed with 
many victories small. 
I painted the house 
with colors of new zeal. 
I furnished it with 
virtues that heal. 
I planted the garden 
with flowers of love. 
I installed the fountains 
with waters from above. 
I sat in the garden 
admiring my creation. 
At last, to God 
I offered adoration.

Wow, wow, wow. The part where you laid a new foundation down, stone by stone, made the tiny hairs on my arms stand. The imagery is amazing. The flow follows each line perfectly. I'm not just saying that to say that. The healing walls was my favorite imagery. You've given so many uplifting thoughts, for someone who is down like me. A perfect 7 poem. I might come back to read again ... I haven't favorite a poem in such a long time. An honor to read and have a new favorite poem... Amazing,
