God is Still Writing Your Story SVG Graphic by juiceboxy · Creative Fabrica

Like the strokes of an artist’s brush Painting a self-portrait of my life The colors are people, events, and experiences Each stroke flows into the next creating the picture A step back is needed at times To observe the full scope of life To include the essence of my being Expressing all aspects as one Without the help of the master creator I cannot finish this work completely Knowing not how I will fully evolve In faith I place my brush into His hand

Beautiful thoughtful poem. The self portrait metaphor and its final completion by God is pretty spiritual. Enjoy the weekend.

That spiritual side of me just creeps into so many of my poems, Jay. It's just who I am, my friend. I spend a lot of time praying and meditating each day. Have a pleasant weekend! Bill

Thank you for the positive and validating comment, Joe. The old saying, "all roads lead to Rome", has been updated ... after looking further down the roads, they all lead to the Source of creation, the Creator God of all that is, was, and will ever be. Have a great week my friend. Bill
