Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

The One That I Truly Love

There was a time for half of my life
that I knew nothing of my great love
nobody told me of this love so special
so I realised it must be from above

In the midst of deep awful sadness
when my dear wife left this old earth
God came into my life personally and fully
in person of His dear son by spiritual birth

This son Jesus Christ became my saviour
coming into my heart changing me inside
drawing so very near to abide within
such love so perfect so high so wide

This Lord Jesus gives so many promises
abide in Him and much fruit you will do
He gives real peace, not as this world gives
never will I leave you nor forsake you

The one that I do truly love
His every promise precious to me
He died to redeem me from sin
this is God His love always will be

(My first wife Jean died after less than a year of marriage but now been remarried for 29 years next month. Just to explain in case somebody wondered about this.)

Jennifer Proxenos March 12, 2019 at 12:55 AM Hi Gordon, Sorry about the loss and sad untimely death of your fist wife, God didn't want you to be alone so directed you towards your 2nd wife who I am sure has been a pillar of strength for you in your 29 years of marriage. i enjoyed your poem Gordon, in fact i enjoy all your poems. Poetry hugs, Jennifer. Gordon Mcconnell March 12, 2019 at 3:33 AM Thanks Jennifer, Glad you enjoyed it and for your continual encouragement and by the way I've mentioned you in a recent poem 'the thrill of a pen in my hand'. Yes, my present wife Christine has been a great strength for me especially in recent years with my cancer and my continual battles with my stammer. Trust all is well with you, Blessings, Gordon
