In His Will

In his teaching I am shown right from wrong And aim to be wise as the days grow long Out of the dark with opened eyes that see An enlightened life ahead waits for me A heart that’s full of loving compassion Embrace all his creatures with a passion Through his love I hope to be more grateful Stay true to myself and be more faithful To be alert and listen to his call Loving hands awaits me if I should fall Longing to be one with all true desire Flame inside me will glow as if on fire In his will the quest is there to achieve Loving blessings, grace, given to receive As I journey on the path hand in hand Alone shall I never be left to stand Diligently I shall seek with devotion To finally be a drop in the ocean

Bless you Andrea. Thank you so much for your searching and finding one to leave such uplifting, happy comments for. So appreciated. I’m going to start reading and enjoying some of your older ones as they can be left behind can’t they and deserve to be appreciated all over again :)

Your poem speaks to me, depicting you as a wave in His ocean, growing stronger and with more purpose, undulating gently rolling towards a wonderous shore as His word enlightens you with his teaching. Far more than a drop dear Chris, far more than a writer of poems. A poet creator of staggeringly beautiful poetry. Bless you.

This is as much a prayer as a poem, Christina, for me. Your final line speaks of relinquishing control, and humility but also being part of something much greater. No drop is wasted all have their important purpose. Thank you for this :)
