Today, 1 poem from God’s Rhyme & 2 recent ones.

THE RETURN (God’s Rhyme, Pg. 38)

listen – 

I hear, 

I hear a whisper;

a sound

ever so gentle,

as if a cool breeze

comforting

in the heat

were found

            when standing still.

Shh . . . . . 

            I hear it again,

calling,

calling me, . . .  “come,

come,

            you are falling,

feel My arms,

            I will catch you.”

“I’ll comfort you son.”

Oh, thank you Father,

            I love You, I missed You.”

“Welcome home,

We rejoice in your homecoming,

            son.”

“Your room

            is as you left it;

as are you & I, 

            as we once were.”

The water drops

            on His sleeve

were not from storm clouds;

gone they now are.

            No, my tears fell,

fell freely

on His majestic robes of grace.

He so loved me

            and rejoiced in my return.

I wept

         joyfully

                   in His arms,

My Father,

            My Redeemer,  

                              My God.

Reflection:

THE RETURN, a recurring theme.  One I wish I didn't have to write about, but am glad that I can write about.  No matter what I may do, God will always welcome me back.  And when I later realized how I must hurt God when I wander, I also realized that I must also forgive myself.  If I don't, I am still distant from God until I do forgive.

Discussion:

The next two poems were written are the first two written in 2023.

DAY TWO

Day two,

The year is new, 

So much to do

Beyond day two.

As I have been blessed,

I must help the rest

Find peace in their life

Overcoming strife.

Yes, I can write a word

Others may have heard.

Now I must share

With love an care.

My life no longer mine,

I have now seen the sigh

Of words ever divine.

I see the finish line.

I will follow where He leads,

I will pray and plant the seeds.

He has prepared good deeds

For  me to serve other’s needs.
