The Word (Revised)

For Deborah Guzzi The flames do scorch and char, but consume not Your words are mighty, strong, and swifter than a sword. To build the edificationof Christ. The evil one desires to take The babies out the crib, to destruction The children need instructions, sing, and praise! The word for you and your esteem to reign! attempt at blank verse!! Recieved a honorable mention in the contest!! Thanks Deborah!!
