You Are My All
By Paul Wilson


You are the beam… of my balance
that measures left from right
The apex of pendulum’s swing
as I rise to new height

You are the foundation
that will not crumble
The cross I could not bare
carried by you… ever so humble

You are the seed of life
my soul the pod
Your word will nourish me
forever…you are thy God

Storms shall come and go
causing me too sway now and then
With your strength dear God
the battle I will win

Together we will face
satin and the fires of hell
The victory will be ours
in Heaven with you I will dwell

I call the names of the twelve
whom you choose to spread your word
Help me be strong and true holy one’s
I know my prayers will be heard
~ ~

Especially the way in which you close this poem, there is a strong sense of faith about this entire piece... how in each stanza you identify three aspects of God, and how you come together by saying that you are certain that your prayers will be heard (almost as if you are celebrating the abundant evidence of this, and coming gloriously to your anticipated conclusion).

I wonder, in the first three stanzas, I noticed you are discussing three divine aspects of the "beam" (builder, creator), the "cross" (the redeemer), and the "seed" (the spirit).  Did you use the trinity as your point of reference, here?  Because if you did, it comes across beautifully.

I enjoyed reading this.  Thanks for the opportunity.

Brian

Sorry for the late reply due to a bad hurricane as we all know as Katrina.

Brian...I never had any forethought about the three devine aspects you mentioned, but now that you have enlightened me I can see your thinking. Glad you opened my eyes and thanks so very much for reading and for you reply. I just wrote this from my heart and with the words given to me my the creator.
Thanks again...Paul
