We are your lambs, O Lord.
With Your love filling us,
we need nothing more.
The pastures of this Forum
is where we lay down Your
Words.
We refresh each other
by the still waters
of our poetic gifts.
We lead each other down
Your path of righteousness
for Your Name sake.
When one of us is in a
dark valley,
we have no fear of evil,
for Your love shines
through us,
to lift each other up.
Our pens and our hearts
are Your rod and staff.
We all sit at the table
of Your love,
showing the world
we are Yours.
You anoint our heads
with inspiration.
Our poems overflow to
encourage.
Surely goodness and mercy
will follow us,
all the days of our lives,
and we will finally meet,
as we dwell in Your house,
oh Lord,for all eternity.

Very well done my friend!

Thank you all for your wonderful replies.

Summers haunting melody
that awakens
the butterflies,
calling them to join
the dance
in their silent song
of praise to God.

I hope that there's a special place for all poets. . . where all we would do is write and sing poetry. . .

Superb!

truly touching poem for veneration of the God, Ellie, He'll be most pleased

- James
The beauty of nature is displayed,
not through itself,
but through the creatures
dwelling within its bosom.

I think Heaven has a special corner..painted passionate blue, just for all of us.. Meet you there! This is lovely. And the 23rd Psalm is my favorite.

Ah Ellie, what you do! Now, may I have this in needlepoint for my wall in my office over my computer to remind me why I am here!?

This perhaps, is one of your very best...I know we have His gifts in our hands...and we should all be humbled for the opportunities he has given us through Ron to share so much, with so many...
