I love this poem you've penned, Vance on the twists and turns of life, and gratitude, I love words and pace of the first stanza, and
"Bring your heart and mind each night and day
Plump and rich with sincere GRATITUDE, in prayer "
beautifully done. ~Kerry

Really beautiful poem, Vance! I do appreciate your exhortation to not fear all these devastating events of nature that our country has experienced recently. But we need to seek Him with hearts and minds as you say, "Plump and rich with sincere GRATITUDE." Amen.

Comment from Irish Rain
Amen Mr. Vance. God is love, and everything of God, is born of that love. So are we. We will become, and attract what we dwell on. Let it be gratitude, beauty, and an unending reverence for all life. Loved this, blessings...

Comment from MissMerri
I can't give this less than six stars... for the wonderful sentiments expressed, and so concisely and creatively expressed too. I love your philosophy. It makes so much sense to me. We all have to deal with storms, thorns, rocky paths and many uncertainties, but as you so nicely point out, God uses these things to help us, not to harm us, so we have many reasons to be grateful, even in difficult times. Well said, my friend.
I think your editor forgot an R on the end of you... Shouldn't that be "Are not there to stir YOUR fears?" Otherwise, I saw nothing to complain about. I love the picture. It fits so well with the words.
Great poem, full of wisdom and good sense. MM

Comment from Bucketlist
Vance, this is a beautiful reminder of life is all about. We learn by the positives and negatives of each day, and gratitude should grow too. It's ironic that many people take for granted what God prvides.
I loved reading this, thank you so much for sharing your positive attitude and obvious gratitude

Comment from Mustang Patty
Hi, Vance;
No, we most certainly are NOT here by accident. He created us for His pleasure. Unfortunately, our sinful nature made it impossible for Him to be near us, so He had to send His Son.
The story is beautiful, and so is your well-formed poem,
