Why Redemptive Rhymes

 Hi Guys, Here another poem preview from the "Growing Strong in The Lord" collection. This one is from I Am Sowed, By God's Words - Part One . It was written in the Villanelle poem form (one of my favorites to write). This poem has and still remains to be one of my favorites I had written, as it reminds me to be thankful of the beauty God gave us in the complexity of nature in this world He created for us.  Thanks for The Beauty Lord What you gave greatly adored Its seen in your creation Thanks for the beauty Lord You gave flowers that are vastly colored Giving sense of smell a sensation What you gave greatly adored For in the blue-sky birds soared Giving sense of sight an admiration Thanks for the beauty Lord Nature walks where one explored Giving sense of touch confrontation What you gave greatly adored The mountains of some unexplored What a spectacular sight foundation Thanks for the beauty Lord The farmland that grows reward Helping us fight against starvation What

   Desperation: Help Please  I thought waiting on You would be a breeze  But don't know how much longer I can wait Lord I have desperation; help please This loneliness brings me to my knees  In giving You my desire to create I thought waiting on You would be a breeze Now my wait is getting hard to appease In wondering if this be my fate Lord I have desperation; help please I've waited so long my heart does plead Please give me an answer to my prayer To that of a true friend to this I need Although I know to this You are aware Desperation's taken hold of my soul Leaving my being in great despair As loneliness now has taken control Thoughts waiting on You no longer a breeze For time in this thought has taken it's toll Now Lord I have desperation; help please                      ©Doris Elaine

  Enjoy The Moments  How time in life can come and destroy  When times of struggles one blind in seeing Moments that went too fast to enjoy In struggles are few the moments of joy They come so fast and soon are fleeing As time in life does come and destroy Soon moments gone to struggles that deploy The reality of life to one's own being Of moments that went too fast to enjoy For how temporal time spent with y'all And moments even less sacred Due my time not realizing them at all How I wish to those moments created Although brief I'd spent them better yet still Before in time those moments had faded The moments meant to enjoy if one will As time in life can come and destroy When struggles take away the thrill Of moments that went too fast to enjoy                      ©Doris Elaine

Hi guys,  Here two more poems from the "Growing Strong in The Lord" two book collection. Still presenting previews from part one,  I Am Sowed, By God’s Words. These two poems remind us not to judge others; in particular the poor. "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you." (Matthew 7:1-2). Anyone can go from being well-off to being poor in an instant. Some have the misconception that if one is poor it is of their own doings. That's not always true! There are many circumstances where one can not help one's financial status. Perhaps, God does watch how we treat, not only the poor, but everyone in His righteous  judgment. But, in particular, how we treat the poor.  Through The Eyes of The Poor For in this world of riches one hides But through the eyes of the poor Is mostly where the Lord decides As to what they see does adhere To the judgement He provides In them He becomes their savior

   Hope for Friendship While the idea appealing of courtship It isn't always how it should start out Sometimes we should only hope for friendship In the act of one on one fellowship Advancing as friends is what its about When the idea appealing of  courtship In relating you kindle a kinship As trust becomes gained with no doubt When in this we only hope for  friendship Although in courtship its love hoped for With true friendship love is always there As care becomes that one does adore A friend by your side to life you bear In the highs and lows to this create A bond you both do gratefully share Just knowing one is true to you is great While the idea appealing of courtship For in true feelings where friends do make Sometimes we should only hope for friendship                     ©Doris Elaine

  Here two more preview poems from my Growing Strong in The Lord Collection. These are from where I left off in my Part One previews. I will be mostly posting preview poems, as promised, from my published books. Rarely will you see a new poem here on this site. These two poems from my Growing Strong in The Lord- Part One, "I Am Sowed By God's Words" , came out of knowing God was with me during an impact with my car and a full grown and huge doe deer. I listed these two poems just days apart, as I still felt the grace God delivered me that fateful day; reminding me of His grace and presence throughout my life.  It's Not Luck, But Grace ⭐ When one is thrown a curve ball Like something unexpected takes place That can bring an unforeseen pitfall One holds tight and does brace As one calls on the Lord above all He then sees you through this place In the aftermath you then recall The Lord got you through, you embrace For He can, no matter how big or small And then you rea
