What a beautiful poem and commentary about coming to a faith in Jesus! I like the last stanza the best, particularly the last line: "within my heart composes songs my mouth for Him I sing." It's wonderful to come to faith, and even more wonderful when the Holy Spirit anoints us with the ability to write poetry that will touch others' hearts.
Well done, Roy!
God bless,
Susan

That lump of clay has become a warrior for our LOrd and I am truly proud to be able to call you my friend in Christ. This is excellently done and truly a keeper showing nothing, becoming a stamp of God

Roy,
This mixes the way both God and you form your life. He has a path for you that sometimes is not followed at all until you finally find faith and then all works out as it should.
The poem has a smooth meter and easy rhyme and I like the emphasis the couplet gives those lines.
Keep writing and stay healthy
Joan

"Heart of gold...", is an exceptionally well-written, and spiritually-uplifting piece. This talented poet has with craft and skill, told it as it is. To me, this is a six, but unfortunately I've run out of them. I look forward to seeing your next post.

I would really love to read your story, Roy, what you were before God took over. What your wife and children thought when this different man was suddenly in their midst. It must have been incredible. We think we can go it alone, do what we think is best for us, but like all children, we couldn't live without God's guidance, and that was why he sent His son to us. Your poems give us glimpses of the man you were, and the glory of what you are now. Yours is an amazing story, my friend, you give us that glimpse of you in this really lovely poem. Well done. :)) Sandra xxx

A very well-written poem about his God my are each one of us perfectly. We may sometimes dwell on foreign paths but He will guide us back to find His path of righteousness.

(typo: cavern's s/b caverns) Powerful and fresh: born in day ... descends to darkest night ... caverns deep and dark with pits ... heart composes songs. Cheers. LIZ

Roy,
I like the thought that we were all in God's thoughts before the beginning of time.
He knew me in a flash of light; it took me all of my 63 years to know Him, and, though I am under God's grace *cloak, as you put it*, I am still learning His ways each day.
Wonderful poem,
Roy
Blessings and best wishes,
Cindy

This is good. I think the cadence should be truncated--but this may be a tall task considering the rhyme scheme. Also, based on the way you write the date and the use of "mould," I have determined that you my friend are from Europe! Thanks for sharing.
