multifaceted, love reigns among creative works
proving its worth and wonders midst woes of whys
evidenced by divine love whose source is God
my heart can attest with bliss
as faith testifies
without iota of doubt
love divine prevails
acquitting lamentable condemning emotions
midst freedom of blest sharing and caring bliss
indeed, God's love* imputes no guilt midst clemency's worth
*1 John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

6th place, "Voir Dire on Love" Suzette Prime Poetry Writing Premiere Contest
Sponsored by Suzette Richards; judged on 3/2/2026
Invisible opportunity stairs
Flight fate fashioned
Masked mental wares.
Past existential roots
Accrue manipulative motif
Extant present imputes.
Futuristic intents allure
Remote eternal sanguinity
Time track obscure.
Faith fosters fearless furtherance,
Propels purpose, persevering pursuit,
Usher unperturbed, undying utterance,
Imputes imbibes independent institute.

You only live once in this present existence,
so prance with kindness in the rain
devoid hindrance and opposition.
Grab a kaleidoscopic parasol and dance.
Enhance your cheerfulness and ride
the tide of the rainbow that arrives after
the storm...go the distance with joy.
So what if it is cascading sprinkles of
cold showers down your weary back?
Find relief in the cool and crisp breeze
that resounds in rhythm and harmony.
Enjoy the moment and bring your
puppy to play in the pouring rain.
(He always does have fun no matter what.)
Live for today; for mother nature shall
bestow great thoughts of ‘morrow.
If you take advantage of these
spontaneous imputes then maybe-
just maybe...
seizing the day will grant you freedom and the benevolence of hope.

As I lay in the bosom of my Jesus,
He comforts me everyday
My every thought surrounds Him,
With every breath I do pray.
He sees me out at even tide
He brings me in at morn
My comfort and joy , my peace
He adorns
God’s precious loving Son.
I live for Him and I’d die for Him,
I love and obey my Lord,
He sacrificed His very life,
So I could draw near to God.
Oh, many a day I prayed,
Dear Lord I’ved sinned today
But of this I am assured,
His gracious love has endured.
His blessings abound
His presence surrounds,
All the day long
He imputes us no wrong, that’s why I sing this song.
Proper learning imputes proper senses
proper senses set up the mind
the mind is like blotting paper
blotting paper absorbs ink
ink inks on paper
paper shows words
words impact
