He has nurtured me, He has saved me He has blessed me, He has praised me. He has shaped me, He has molded me. He has loved me, He has enfolded me. He is my heaven, he is my hell. He is my Savior, my Living Well. He is my complete, He is my whole. He is my God, He is in control. He is the other side of my heart. He is the bottom of my soul. Within His presence, I only weep. Within His love, so pure and sweet. I will go on, no matter what, until the day, my mind, He'll shut. He'll take me where I don't feel I belong. And, I will sing His lovely song. And, when I am reborn at last, happily so free? I will soar forevermore, cheerful as can be! ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..

Linda, Thanks....it is sing-songy, and I had written it about three different ways, before choosing this one. Forever learning.... Glad you find it up-lifting.... Hugs, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Yes, Noah, so true, in spite of "me", for all the work comes from Him....I couldn't earn His love no way, no how, not ever....as could no one else. It is His gift, freely to us.... Thank you for the reply. Hugs and warm regards, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Pat, this is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I love the truth in this and best of all, the way I could feel that it was straight from your heart. You, my friend, are a very special person. By the way, I liked the style you wrote it in, too...very good !! "Love makes the world go around" |

Ethel, thank you, but, I am not a very special person....only One fits that description. It's odd to be at this point in my life for there was no stronger atheist, one of a scientific mind, than I. It is a miracle for certain! A very burly, rugged man I know, surprised the stuffings out of me once for in his bathroom on the mirror he had a tiny card which had the following verse: ~I asked Jesus~ "How much do you love me?" "This much," He answered. Then He stretched out his arms and died. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Thanks for the reply and glad you enjoyed the rhythm, though I am not sure I like it. Oh, wow, so much learning to catch up on, huh? Will I ever, and write the way I hope to? Warmly, Pat Enchantress, thank you for replying. Warmly, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Thank you Robert..... ~He~ wasn't the only one who stretched out their arms and died, was he? I stand corrected on this very special day...... May their rewards be more than we can imagine. It is the walking spiritually wounded, who need ours prayers, and oh so much more than they are receiving. ~Respect~ being right up there near the top of the list. God Bless You Warm Regards, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |
