Like the dawn’s gentle hue Whispering hope over your heart Grinning a lemony, laughing grin That seems to praise Him The way a child might – with praise That is young and wild and alive Filled with grace, saving grace, That wonderful feeling that reminds Giving Him a heart and soul, a love Is more of a gift to the heart Than to the One who opens the door To sharing heaven’s sweet secrets Like the stars twinkling, so alive Breathing a music into the eyes With a shimmering joy, a promise A light filled with gentle kisses Which silence and lift all depression With a kindness that beckons In trembling sighs, memories Of a life colored in hope and faith Flourishing with the joy of grace A fire on the inside, a delight To intimate and inspiring, so bright Only His beloved children can see The gift that He gives is complete peace The gift that He gives is contentment The gift that He gives is fulfillment The gift that He gives is a promise To always be available, like the wonder Of One who knows that love is the answer To a prayer for sincerity and serenity The promise of a love that brings dreams Alive, full of joy and a smile that reveals All the hope and heart and happiness Discovered in a prayer for His glory to fill us With the sweetness of a gift only He can give A gift of genuine grace when we fall on our face And pray to the One who made us and gave us The chance to reach out to Him with faith Like salvation that comes from this grace Love brings hearts to a place where they say “He is the answer – He is the One” Lift up your soul and always know He is in control His love will bring you home and give you all you hope With assurance that He has come down to earth To save you from the destruction and sorrow Of a life lived without Him, a life that is ineffective A hopeless, pathetic life… without the One who gives The heart and soul of love to the one who listens And asks Him to be their Savior, their answer To every worry, every fear, every doubt The answer to every hope and prayer The answer that truly does care Repent, believe and receive Salvation, a gift that never leaves you A gift of grace from a God who knows Without Him, you are surely ruined! 1 John 1:9 KJV - If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

I read this because I am interested in your contest that you are running. Now I have doubts about writing such a poem as this is just different from most of the poems I've wrote. But wow.
