Symbol in Strength
20 July 2007

Your beauty was always on a page,
even if the paperweight was thin.
The beauty of trust and faith,
a time to heal and think.

Your arms tired with debate,
the lifting of troubles and regret.
A past to consider, and neither,
a darkness of yesterday to forget.

No punishment, forthright your name,
this glory of heaven to earth.
The cross upon your shoulders,
a symbol of His strength.

Where deep in your eyes,
the shadow was of love.
A feeling of being loved,
an adoption away from pain.

"And we have known and believed the love that
God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth
in love dwelleth in God, and God in him."
1 John 4: 16 KJV

It could be said that I am writing much better now, than I was a year ago.
