One and Hard Won

One and Hard Won

Through the Lord's grace, Our eyes open to find a new day
Brush strokes radiant where we love and pray
Eager to witness life’s paintings unfold
Evidence of His divine greatness that We behold
A sparrow’s trill as it lights upon a fence
The pewter and silver morning inviting raindrops to dance
Of oleander leaves gently touching windowsills
Majestic trees coaxing children to climb and fill
Of the smell of toast and coffee to greet the awakening
The warmth of His body and shallow breathing
Eyes fluttering and dreaming behind closed lids
My dream, His dream, Our dream complete
Is One and hard Won, Two is Too no longer to repeat
All are scenes of wondrous beauty sublime
He and I, shall have all this in time.

Sera, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
