I am posting both of these together, because one is an adaptation of the other 106 "Inspired" 13 September 1997 The light that shines in Jennifer’s eyes yet I cannot see The smile that shines on her face yet I cannot see The warmth she holds in her heart yet I cannot feel such desire The kindness that glows in her soul yet I cannot understand The reason she has become my muse yet I cannot be sure why The motherhood she projects in her actions yet I cannot really be sure why The prayers I project each day yet I wonder if they should be The answer I long to know yet I do not know what love is “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3: 16-17 KJV 157 An Inspired Adaptation 18 April 1999 The light that shines in your eyes yet I cannot see The smile that shines on your face yet I cannot see The warmth you hold in your heart yet I cannot feel such desire The kindness that glows in your soul yet I cannot understand The reason you are my muse yet I cannot be sure why The children you protect in your actions yet I cannot really be sure why The prayers I project each day yet I wonder if they should be The answer I long to know yet I do not know what love is “No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate one, and love the other: or else he will hold to one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. [Worldliness]” Matthew 6: 24 KJV [word in brackets added] a poet who cares |
