[To my Poetry-lovin' friends: I thought I had posted this, but I could not find it in a search. As I have had a chance to re-eat my humble pie, I thought I would share this [again] with you. Of course, any critique is welcome.] Dear Lord Lord, it is me, do hear my pleas I did something so very wrong But you caught me up before long And brought me to my knees. Dear Lord, humble is better, but I had a great week. Thank goodness for you I turned the other cheek. I thought of telling someone of the great Things I accomplished today But then I thought of what you create And suddenly found I had nothing to say. And when I do stray, and find a way To exclaim “look at me” Suddenly I find as I look around It’s Humble Pie that I see. You remind me in another’s glance That my good works are not by chance And I should know you watch from above And give by your Grace, and from your Love All that I do and give is a gift from you And I know they are not my thoughts and deeds alone So thank you Lord, for the Humble Pie And know that for my works I will atone. Amen. ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |

Sunshine, This is a wonderful prayer! We all need to take a bite of that humble pie, and remember from time to time that we have gotten where we are not by ourselves, but with the grace of those willing to help us take the journey, and the guidance of One we do not see, but can't quite forget. Well written, I enjoyed this! ------------------ For sometimes when the Darkness falls, we must surrender, take what is ours, and give what we can, and always remember love is somewhere waiting... |

Dear Azblond and Blueloon Thank you for your comments. We all need a kick in the butt now and then, don't we? We're only as good as HE will allow us to be...and he allows SOOO much goodness! ------------------ Sunshine Words will always express our feelings true. ~~~ KRJ Look, then, into thine heart, and write ~~~ Henry Wadsworth Longfellow |
