Here outside of Eden as the gates closed to your race You could not know I wept too as tears rolled down your face You were my chosen people, I fellowshipped with you In my heart I grieved also at this thing I must do The rain sent in the daytime your first touch of my wrath Did you know the rains were tears that I had said enough? You were children called by me I loved you from the start Never did I think this act would tear me so apart I loved you outside Eden…your race to me was lost Did you stop to think that I would also bear the cost? Travel on my loved ones turn your hearts away, this day I cannot bear the pain so I turn my face away In the desert planting tools I send you to survive Although the way is difficult you will be alive My children you are crying please turn away your face Although you are cast out, yet there still is wondrous grace My love is never ending this deed is yet undone One day soon my endless grace will lead you to the one The ponderous path from heaven leads me back to you Although cast out you'll prosper and turn to me anew Then in joyful gladness I shall never be restrained pouring out my blessings all, till Eden is regained Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

(smiles) Soooooooo beautifully captivating, sweet friend, may we all together share our love to the world and re-gain our inner-paradise through these tears we cry for His sake. (kiss on cheek) This is soooooooo beautiful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! Amen! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

A perspective I had not imagined when I made my challenge. I like what you've done here and am certain of the agony of God over us. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Kethry - this is a little different than what I've seen from you. It's lovely, a pouring of a soft heart for others. Suburbly done... BC |

Keth darling sister of my soul, and holder of my dreams, what wonder is this darling girl. Beloved one is it entirely necessary to be so magnificent? Yes I suppose it is you simply are unaware that you are doing it aren't you? If you don't answer yes then I'll be round with the boys You are sooooooooo going to pay the price of perfidy darling girl. Sneakiness and treachery are the norm for you darling girl, I know I should expect no more from you. Isn't it a good thing that you know I love you, and that I know you love me Or else there would be all sorts of people knocking on my door demanding that I'm nicer to you. If only they knew YOU and I are as inseperatble as Siamese twins Is this writing wonderful OHHHHHHHH yes it is utterly utterly fantastic Love and warm stuff As always Slushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace St John ch2 v1 |

Kethry, you gave me goosebumps, girl! Excellent! I'm sitting here shaking my head because I can't think of anything wonderful enough to express how much I like this poem! Brava! Traci "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." |
