In quiet time I find Him, Walking down a maple lane; On a sunlit field of daisies Sparkling bright with last night's rain. Alone, I feel a presence And a knowledge that He's there; The world that moves around me Makes me ever more aware. A place down deep within me Seeks these times of sweet release From the earthly cares I live with And I find an inner peace. Psalms 20:7 "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." |

I appreciate the comment, don't get me wrong, but this poem is about a finding of faith and a welcoming of Christ into one's heart... my heart to be specific. The story is that of truth, as the place I found Christ is exactly described here. I always appreciate the critique, however, a work about somebody's faith should never be questioned for I believe that only works of faith come from elsewhere than one's self. Psalms 20:7 "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." |

Hello, and welcome to Passions. As for being cliche? some cliches can withstand repetition, and still be unique. Hope that made sense.  |

Cheers! I know exactly what you mean! Living life believing that must be a total trip... I'd like to hear some stories. Psalms 20:7 "Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God." [This message has been edited by NickTofteland (06-15-2003 12:36 PM).] |
