Notes About The Poem

The Ornament of Grace

 "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  ~
