Vincent Flannery Poet Rhyme

Turn Turn Turn

It’s like re-framing the mind down to the very last nail
The ability to remind just in telling our own simple tale
From stilling the roughest day to adding calm to a worrisome night
In all along telling people to pray and keep the good Lord in sight

It’s the revealing of your heart right down to it’s deepest pain
It is the continual picking apart in order to try to make some gain
It’s the shining of His Light a Light that all are able to see
Yet with all this being in sight it’s really just being me

For every word built is from a letter yet each is an important part
Stating that it’s going to get better if only you open up your heart
But with every single thought and each newly transferred phrase
Everything was all entirely sought for God's own Glory and praise

So it’s certainly not a whim or some silly little phase
But a simple reminder of Him and all of His loving Ways
So many will aspire but so few will succeed
Yet you need only the desire He will plant the seed

Ecclesiastes 3:7

Andrea Dietrich February 22, 2014 at 3:29 PM btw, when are you going to do the Ruth contest. I have a poem for it but it's very lame, maybe I will wait and post it up later.

Andrea Dietrich February 22, 2014 at 3:28 PM I think I will have to name you the Bible poet. You sure do know your stuff!! Write on!!

Reason A. Poteet February 22, 2014 at 7:35 AM Great take on the verse from Ecclesiastes. So many words are wasted in this world. When I consider the Logos, Himself, the Living Word, and the fact that God spoke the world into being, I get an inkling of the significance of our words as His witnesses. Thanks for blessing me this day with your poetry, Vincent.
