Ya Know... Virginia Salter Ya know... if you step back look at the world, man’s world, with its alabaster pinnacles and granite faces fingering the clouds its asphalt ribbons running all about its cries of screaming voices its shouts of blasphemy waiting for the moment of profound infinity you may be swallowed up in vanity or eaten with disease but... if you step back just a little farther look at the World, God’s World, with its granite hillocks its basalt mesas its igneous and metamorphic mountains coated in evergreen laced with living water teeming with fish and fowl rhyming with scents of life, both animal and vegetable you just may be given balm you just may see its rainbow of promise you just may be filled with the hope of that living water and be able to walk forth into its future with a tear in your eye a smile on your face for the faith you’ve been given to continue the race © August 9, 2000 |

As in most all things human, it is our response wich determines who we are. Our ability to place perceived difficulties in any kind of perspective speaks volumes about one's beliefs and confidence within them. [This message has been edited by ATelamon (edited 02-07-2001).] |

VAS, I had to read this through several times and let the words sink in! I must say you have written a beautiful, moving poem. So many of us don't see the trees for the forest. You opened our eyes. Hugs, ME |

Thank you, each and every one of you. I had a stressful day, in many ways and your wonderful words were a balm, are a balm. You also caused me to read this piece again. It's one of my fav's I have to admit. There are definitely some poems that my loving Lord helps me write, just to bless me with His love. I really think this is one of them...I believe it. Again, thank you, say I with a very grateful heart. |
