I think everyone has a dream they wish to pursue. Sometimes it can be hard to achieve but if it is meant to happen, I believe it will. A thought-provoking piece, Roy. I enjoyed reading it.

Okay, yes I see here that it was a perfection of the other poem, unless my vision is seeing double. Re-reading it gave me a greater understanding and depth. I love the line about the magnetic pole, an dit makes me reflect how God's Spirit has been like a magnetic pole, drawing me back to him and keeping me grounded too. Thanks!

Roy my friend, I agree that having faith and trust in God is the only way to face life's challenges; no pandemic is deadly and no challenge is hard when one's trust is strong and deep, as you so eloquently said; thank you for sharing.

And once again ROY OWEN'S poem takes first place, blue ribbon. I 'specially like what you said in your notes "...foes and lawless actions, they can't stop a man from dreaming. So I don't really care who rules, who steal or riots, or loots, I still follow my freedom of thought and worship. [God doesn't want us to try harder, He only wants us to trust deeper.] that's a big
Amen
Hebrews 13 :5 "I will never leave nor forsake you." Praise God for this promise! Jerry

As always, I enjoy reading your poems.

This one, in particular, hits a needed spot. It is always great to remember, "I will never leave nor forsake you." Especially in times like these.

Thanks for the reminder!

A very well-written heartfelt poem about being able to cope with a calmness despite all the turmoil going on in the world is a definite sign that God is with us and that we fully trust Him.

And yet Christ's blood can hide the stain,
and right all wrong, and blot all blame.
How many men can hide from eyes
that see all sin, deceit, and lies.

I dont know what more to say. This is perfect

Hi Roy, this is another fine offering from you with nicely rhyming stanzas about your faith and trust in your Lord. You know how I feel so won't go there, I like the footnote "I will never leave nor forsake you" and this adds to your thoughts and words nicely. Cheers Colin and thanks for sharing.

Well captured! Man can dream dreams, make the best of plans but without those aligning with God's own plan for the individual, such can never see the light of the day. However with all trust and faith in God our Creator we can all move mountains. Thanks for your wisdom.
