Ways of Providence

Written July 20, 2025, for contest Sponsored by Sir Edward Ibeh ************************************************
The Potter forms each individual, Shaping earth's landscapes made original; The design of mountain, valley, and hill Is planned and done according to His will. The Sovereign controls with full power, Universe follows the word of Ruler; The creation bows to the mighty King, He gives divine order to everything. The Rock often offers fixed foundation Of a safe harbor during affliction; The Fortress supplies a steadfast support, As the Stronghold will never come up short. The Light of pristine truth replaces lies With pure knowledge to unlock our blind eyes.

I really like how your poem uses strong, simple images like the potter and the rock to show how everything is carefully made and cared for. It feels steady and reassuring, like a comforting reminder that there’s a bigger plan guiding us. Nice work! Congratulations!
