UPON A BED OF PETALS
A flowering moss upon a bed of petals,
A lady bug that creeps then calmly settles.
A flicker of light that shines down on the moss,
A pink dogwood flower,that was used on the cross.
A bed of petals that are full of truth and belief,
The brightest pink with red on each glowing leaf.
Upon this bed of petals,you will remember well,
Jesus gave his life,for us to tell.
When you look upon this bed of pink flowers,
To stand and pray to Jesus for many hours.
This bed of petals upon this small tiny hill,
The wind is so silent seems to set still.
To bow your head and close your eyes,
To have Jesus in your heart,that is the ultimate prize.
WROTE BY SUSAN SIMPKINS
The last poem I posted
was viewed by so many
56 hits in one day
And now that I've boasted
(as that's quite high for me)
There's something I'd like to say
Please leave a message
For examples, next passage
Your apathy drives me insane
- it set me aglow
- what lovely flow
- your poem is far to mundane
- I sat and laughed
- you're poem is daft
- it's rubbish please try again
- your spelling is hateful
- A two and be grateful
- I don't understand please explain
- I don't care for your style
- you made me smile
- How sad is your little refrain
What ever you say
I'll be grateful this day
Please write a note, ease my pain
Thanks to "Cute" Susan Simpkins for being the only person to comment on my last poem
Cheers
