Notes About The Poem

Written In His Book

Soft as the morning, dawning with hope
For the moments who are calling…
Wistful and warm, dreaming of the light
Fading gentle against the night’s sky,
Birthing the reflection, graceful, so special
Like inspiration’s breath, sighing serene
Wonderful as the autumn breeze, listening
To the rustling pleas of leaves who dance
In the wind, lifting blessings in silent prayers

Beautiful as the music, praising God, reverently 
Bruising the spirit with the tendency to bring
Promises to life, blowing away the strife,
Producing joy from the wild forest lights, shadows
Foretelling of the moments when smiles
Fade into the past, seeking the dreams sought
By heavy hearts, overburdened by doubts

Dancing through the soul, hopes so bold
Silencing the tears, despair that remembers
Promises broken, peace forsaken, light erased
By loss, failures, feelings bleeding shame,
Guilty of the offenses, the presence of doubt
Clouding the gentling dreams, the memories
Whispering…

Is this reality? Is this insanity? Is this the heart’s fear?

All over the skin, trembling, aching, words without end
Promises broken by changes, urging the feelings
Taking away all the past, securing the future with a prayer
Hope for the promise of paradise, eternity – forever

With His boldest pen, He wrote my name into His book
Life everlasting, with Him, in paradise – I’m thankful, so thankful

Isn't it wonderful to feel assured that our names are written down not in anything we have done but only in what Christ did on Calvary. Thanks for sharing this one with us and for dropping by my page. Sara
