~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just like his wrinkles, Gray hair and distant stare There comes a moment, When moonlight falls on the night, Erasing the darkness With the shimmering of stars Alive as the heart’s rhythmic pounding Trembling in his expression, Soft words pouring out of him, Reminding me that he is such a blessing, A treasure and a time… Now faded, yet timeless as light Flowing through the heart Who believes, who can see – he is more Than memory. He is the moment when hope begins, The fire that survives life’s sin, The feeling that bleeds joy through the bleak The sigh that fades beneath shadow’s kiss The silence lifted from its lonely routine, The peppering of a heart who sways… Beneath the prayers proving that love is a place Beyond the doubts and the dread – love is a place That is forever breaking through the fears and tears, Lasting in the soul of those who see the sun Shining in his eyes, eyes who invite the gaze Into the affections kindled by One who led the quest For love without end. Love that is beyond a gift Love that is heaven sent. Love that is expressed By the beautiful in a sunset, the wonder in the dew The freedom of a teardrop – the worship That comes to those who remember the blessing of God’s Son, The One who guides the soul into a faith that is more alive Than the moon and stars of night – more alive Than the twinkling inside gentle eyes, more alive Than the sensation of love that will always survive Because this is the ONE who makes us all whole, This is the ONE who sings grace to the soul, This is the ONE who stills doubt and raises hope, Hope for eternity with the ONE who is real love – genuine Love, authentic love that can never fade away…. For this love shines brighter than the light of day This love is the answer to every heart This love is the promise that the soul isn’t lost This love is the wonder that only God could have brought The gift from One who made a way, through faith, For our hearts and souls to pray and say… Jesus Is the way, the truth, the life… God’s sacrifice, His grace The gift that assures souls they’ve forever been made whole!

You exult in praising God and His graces flow to you ." In all your poems I see God, Love, Faith, Hope and Grace exalted in an overflow of geuine emotions...."this is the ONE who makes us all whole, This is the ONE who sings grace to the soul, This is the ONE who stills doubt and raises hope, Hope for eternity with the ONE who is real love – genuine Love, authentic love that can never fade away…." So true. Love these lovely lines dear Gina!

I like how you used the shine in his eyes to compare with God's blessings. Another very fine inspirational poem.

The gift from One who made a way, through faith, For our hearts and souls to pray and say… Jesus Is the way, the truth, the life… God’s sacrifice, His grace The gift that assures souls they’ve forever been made whole! Your words ring true to hearts as you pen another masterpiece. Well done!
