I will not praise thy name, But more thy being, I will not bow at thy feet, But more at thy steps, I will not live for thy will, But more for thy idea, I will not love thy master, But more thy friend, I will not preach thy words, But more thy lessons, I will not follow thy lead, But more at thy side. |

No replies? I think this poem is incredible, I'm sending it to the top. And until it gets a few replies, I'm not going to reply to anything else in here... It's a shame that nobody has yet welcomed you to this forum, I had assumed you'd be welcomed eagerly. Guess it's up to me to say "welcome to Spiritual!" ~Allan Concieted?? Impossible! That would be a fault! |

I thought the structure of the poetry was good, and thought provoking. I don't think I agree with the sentiments of the poem (if I understand it properly)...but maybe I'm hearing something other than was intended. Since Message is the prime importance of a poem in my opinion, I did not initially want to respond (not that the poetry was bad- it was actually good). Yet I couldn't bear to see Allan not reply any more! And I did want to welcome Angelshell also. . .  Welcome to Spiritual Journeys Angelshell. Stephen. |

I think you did indeed get the meaning of this poem right Stephen. It isn't glorifying our lords place in my heart because I believe he is glorified in the churches enough. I wrote this to try and convey some of the feelings I have, although, altimately, not all of them. Thanks Allan, you're a good friend. Carly, thank you too. |

Angel Shell, You have expressed much wisdom in your short poem on life. In my opinion, I believe this to be a worthy, modern day, wedding vow from a young woman to her husband. I am your friend and companion and not one to be trampled over. A very good message indeed. Bob <>< |

I haven't seen any of your work here before, but you certainly are a welcome addition. Very thought provoking poem. Betty Lou Hebert |

I'm glad to see you posting in here, Angel. Nice poem you have here. The structure really caught my eye. Very nice work --Marie subconsciously, i think i can eat so much to make my stomach hurt, instead of my heart. |
