Those Barracudas
Virginia Salter

barriers stand
barriers move
barriers ban,
devour dreams

strength and shields
armor, tools
to protect or wield
through life’s streams

strength to scale
mountain’s face
shield to thwart
those barracudas

steps forward
to cross your Jordan
faith, the shield
to gain your ground

VAS

nice.... nice choice of words
each one held my attention.

not your fault,
but many of your words
have left me with a strong
desire to go fishing...

but, I guess that is OK...
because we are to be fishers of men

and I do hope someday to catch me
one of those barracudas...

amen (let it be so)

Put on that Spiritual armour. Great reminder they all go together to help us overcome the war.

I enjoyed this!

I know not what the future holds,
but I know Who holds the future.

I don't question YOUR existance - GOD

A stalwart expression of what faith does.

Your words were succinct and well chosen.
