You'll Know Me



You’ll know me not by what I’ve owned
Nor riches that I’ve fared
You’ll know me not through those I’ve known
Nor secrets that I’ve shared
It won’t be for demeanor’s sake
Nor eloquence of speech
That you’ll know me when morning’s wake
Breaks Heaven’s shore to breach.

You’ll know me not by ol’ blue jeans
Nor by my Sunday’s best
You’ll know me not by angel’s wings
Nor halo o’er my crest
It won’t be my celebrity,
Nor insolence, nor roots
But more you’ll find these things to be
—You’ll know me by my fruit.


God bless,
Lighthouse Bob

Good to see you posting again, Bob.  I like this.  I've had one in the works for a long time on who we are but never finished it.  This may inspire me to do so.

God bless,

   Rae

Rae,

Your poem sounds Wonderful! I'm always very happy to read that my poetry has been an inspiration in some way and I do hope that when you have finished writing your poem about "Who we are" that, because I'm not here on a regular basis , you might e-mail me and let me know so that I can stop in and enjoy it. Please. Please.

God bless and it's always a pleasure to hear from you,
-Bob

Sharon,

I suppose it is!!! (about time) LOL. ...and I do (I do) appreciate your humor that is certainly always sent packaged within a beautiful beautiful spirit of Friendship... and, also, thank you very very much for your New Year's greeting and I too hope that you and yours will be blessed and blessed again this coming year.

Big Smiles,
-Bob
