Though the following poem is an acrostic type poem, I first began to write this poem as a result of a challenge presented at another poetry site to write a poem where the first line of the poem would begin with the sentence “wonder working power.” This challenge seems to be a big hit at the other site and it might do well here as well, Soooooo…. If anyone would be up to accepting a challenge, I would like to challenge you to write a poem, any type of poem, that begins with the first line “of all the miracles I’ve known” and then, when you are finished writing and posting your poem, please, leave a first line or a challenge for the next person to write a poem about.


Wonder Working Power

Wonder working power
Often happens when we pray
No matter what the hour
During any given day
Even in the midst of doubt
Regardless of our race

Windows blessed from God swing out  
Once we begin to face
Religion, Pride, and Envy
Killing, and of such
I know the world would prospered be
Not giving in so much…
God, now, I ask your blessing

Please, cleanse us, Lord, I pray
Of all of our confessings
Wrong doings we’ve displayed
Enter us, Center us,
Restore in us today.

First line: "Of all the miracles I’ve known…"

God bless,

Lighthouse Bob
