EACH DROP OF BLOOD

I
can
see
light
filling
a world
where hate
reigned as king
Such time it takes
YOUR message is clear
to spread so far and wide
in a world left dark with fear
YOUR sacrifice men are aware
with the pain YOU have endured
YOU gave YOUR life for each of us
so that paradise we could now earn
Each drop of blood that was spilt
has paid the price for our sins
not asking much of us but
to live loving HIM

What a beautiful presentation for this love spilling text!

Yes, if we only could follow Him and learn to LOVE as He has taught us.

Thank you for this.

Love,
Margherita

Usually shaped poems sound off but this ran very smoothly.Very good

My mind is like lightning
One brilliant flash and its gone

Karen this is gorgeous!
And your words....so true.
Thank you for this keeper.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart..
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul.

the spirit of your piece is strong
the value of your words immeasurable
the strength of your message profound

but what i found the most telling about
the integrity and work-ethic of your
poetry is you cared enough to make the
tear fit perfectly.  that took some doin
just on the mechanics of it.

a real artist has that kind of drive to
give it the full picture and effort.

you did it.
