by mr maple When I first wrote for rev-e-life
On misfit Christian wayward strife
And clicked "Submit" to post my thoughts
(In moody, trenchant aliquots)
I couldn't have imagined there
Would be someone who'd truly care
To read what I had wrote about
In times of weariness and doubt.
Yet to my curious surprise
I saw, in text before my eyes,
The testimony of a new
Supporting reader who said true
And humbling things to what I wrote
With gritty faith and anecdote
And reignited within me
The fire of faith that's true and free.
And so, I write for you today
That you may find some faith to stay
And cheer your journey towards the cross
Of Christ, for whom we suffer loss:
"Look there! 'Tis He who, from his throne,
At Christmas came to us alone
That we may always have at night
The comfort of Incarnate Light.

It's hard to choose just one thing to wish for. In one sense, I already have everything I need.....Jesus. There was a time when peace was a fleeting thing with me. It was something where I had to force myself consciously all the time; and just when I thought I had it all under control, it would elude me again. In recent times, the Lord has given me a deeper abiding peace. I look back on how I once was and give thanks that I am no longer subject to anger and worry. That doesn't mean that I cannot sin. It only means that I don't have to. As for what I wish for.....maybe I can't just name one thing, but it probably is not something material.
Great poem

@CherDC@xanga -
That is called "poetic license". In other words if it makes the poem work in all of its constrictions then it is okay to use grammar that is not quite up to snuff. For more examples, look at a hymnal.
It is a beautiful poem.
I always admire people who can express themselves in poetry.
Poets and song witers can express more in fewer words that any writer of prose and I, for one, am truly in awe of such skill.
Thank you for a beautiful poem.
oooooo, i like it
@CherDC@xanga - "incorrect English" is incorrect "english"
the proper term would be "grammer" in place of "english"
@slit_the_light@xanga - I think you mean "incorrect grammar."
To the author: this is a very nice poem. Thank you!
