CayCay Godwin Poet Lyric

OUR FATHER

He came to me when I was dark
		                 and shone me in His light.

He touched me when I felt thin,
		                  withered and dry.

He took my tears, my need to cry
		                  and shook them gentle with a heavenly sigh.

He spoke of faith without use of word,
		                  an omnipotent caress my heart heard:

The answer to oneness,
Fulfillment and content
Lies not in idle questions
But in faith sincerely spent;

Simple acceptance of
His love to possess
Is all our need,
All joy to profess.

Darlene Gifford August 30, 2015 at 8:56 PM I liked this poem a lot, CayCay. And especially the part where you said you heard God. This poem is full of meaning and feelings. A 7. ~~Blessings, Darlene CayCay Godwin August 30, 2015 at 9:19 PM Thank you so much, Darlene. This one means a lot to me, it spilled out in one writing and continues to resonate with me. Sometimes I think a 'natural write' is God holding the pen ... Blessings, CayCay
