where the heart finds me

Closer I Am to God


Broken now - Iā€™m whole
Sinking now ā€“ I float
Each day before ā€“ lonely, droll
Each day now ā€“ my soul bloats


My father sang precious melody
My name called in perfect key
Chaste, in angelic devotion
Of waste, hell-spent emotion


I lay down my spirit to thee
Humbly ask of God to protect me
Common disasters betray the blind
Seraphim wings; so warm, so kind


I hear Your will softly call
Live majestic oak, I walk tall
Away from the past I slowly trod
When calamities do befall
the Closer I Am to God

PearlsB4Swine,

Oh, Your poem's so true.  True, GOD is gracious to us especially during our times of calamity.  I love the examples that you use here to express this.  Very nice.  -Bob
