"I shall be like a tree, planted by the rivers of water, to bring forth fruit in season, my leaves shall not wither; and whatever I do will be good." Psalm 1:3 (in my words)
My thoughts are a magnet reflecting . . . my thinking has wings . . . an innate magnetic signal feelings of grace and gratitude brings me infinite power it is the law of attraction positive images I hold within are my strength for good attracts good ~ I pour out my treasure of knowledge like gold and wisdom like silver . . . I give it freely to lead you from a path of darkness ~ remove the chains from around your neck the anguish and negativity holding you from a happy path of life keep mercy and truth in your heart for the like-minded to find ~ the butterfly is my spirit animal so, I welcome change and wear a crown of peace I pick up my pen to write excellent things ~ I speak words like ruby treasures turn away from pride, arrogance and evil will not become the prey of hunters truth is a lamp . . . hate only brings bitterness what I say or write is not governed by others let good be your magnet . . . let magnetism captivate send good thoughts . . . and they will come back a hundred times strong ~ think good thougths and you will not cry at the gate of heaven . . . the gate will open wide find the tree of life and the path to gratitude and love and your steps will not stumble ever . . . . . . and your sleep will be sweet ~ ____________________ October 21, 2022 Poetry/Free Verse/the ornament of grace Copyright Protected, ID 10-1496-007-21 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Posted to Facebook 10/28/2022 Written for the Premiere contest, Our Innate Magnetism sponsor, Unseeking Seeker, Judged 10/27/2022 First Place (Trophy win)
