The Potter and I

The POTTER and I

As I prayed one day - I told my Lord, 
You are THE POTTER and I am the clay.
Please change me anyway you want,
just change my life and make me new 
again.

He told me - I don't like you - So I'm going
to break you up and in a beautiful new 
glass you will be transformed - but in the 
process - I am going to make you cry, 
because through fire I will have to make 
you go.

He said - I want a smile, when everything is 
wrong. I want to have your confidence, in the
middle of a STORM. I want to hear a song
instead of your COMPLAINES and you will learn 
to FORGIVE the ones that have done you wrong.

The POTTER took my hand and led me on my way.
He started working on me - a little everyday. The
process is not easy, but I am on my way and if
The POTTER stays with me - I'll be beautiful one
day...

Eileen Manassian February 24, 2013 at 10:04 AM Dear Lucilla..this is a wonderful theme and you did justice to it. I love a quote by my favorite author, Max Lucado..."God loves us just the way we are, but He loves us too much to leave us that way. He wants to make us just like Jesus." Thanks for your post on my poem! God bless!
