Vincent Flannery Poet Rhyme

Swept Away

Everywhere I look, everywhere I turned
I see what he took in what I have learned
No segment neglected no group denied
God's glory's deflected by satins  own pride

All throughout the land, in every family
Nor  do they understand, unable to see
Like a shadow following you around
Happy to know you'll never be found

Looking high and low even far and wide
We all know that Jesus has been denied
Day in and day out and year after year
This daily bout gets more and more clear

Can you see any of this or are you blind
I'd be remissed to say they're easy to find
So subtle is he as he woo's you away
But if that was me I'd begin to pray

Galatians 6:7-9 
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not quit.

Vincent Flannery September 10, 2018 at 12:01 PM Wow Sunlight Wanter, no comment could mean more than that. But I know The Lord handles everything. He's carried me basically my whole life.
