A nomad through hot desert sand -Opressed by scorching sun Man trudges through this arid land -Of barrenness - undone. As wanting as a pauper's purse -To poverty he's joined Inheritance but Adam's curse -His Paradise purloined. Seductive voices sing his name -feign fill bleak emptiness Then quick abandon as they came -Sore soul left in distress. Drink deep the living water - free -A reservoir ne'er dry Eternal springs - come taste and see -His well doth satisfy! A bounty rich worth more than gold -Abounds - true - overflows Redemption wrought from days of old -So freely He bestows! Abyss is filled by Him alone -This King's own righteousness Behold the Lamb - His shed blood's shown -The path to blessedness! ------------------ Denise [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 10-17-1999).] |

I'm often impressed by your work, Denise. This one, especially.... I truly admire a person who freely speaks their faith. Thank you for sharing this. I apologize for not commenting more often. -dp  |

Well Done! Most impressive! I can tell that some serious thought went into this work, that and some serious belief. I bow to you and yours. |

Denise, I don't know how I missed this...but I have to tell you that this is simply superb!! What a meaningful read!!!! Truly, I am impressed...it's great. Know what? It pays to go back a few pages people!! You may find hidden treasure....or "Something for Nothing" |

Wow! Thanks for the great comments! I'm so glad that you liked it! And not to change the subject, but I spend most of my time in the 'further back pages'! I find so much great stuff back there that slipped down too quickly! I'm never disappointed! Thanks again! ------------------ Denise |

Denise, though I'm not a religious person, this poem was far too good to read without commenting. A wonderful show of your faith. ------------------ "Despite all my rage, I am still just a rat in a cage." -Billy Corgan- |
