Poetry
It's simply too wonderful
Beyond all I've seen or heard
The way You've kept Your promise
Is outrageously absurd
For many years I've cherished
The word You spoke to me
That one day I would witness
Your plan to set men free
"A people lost in darkness
Have seen a glorious light
The enemy and oppressor
Will soon be put to flight."
Prompted by Your Spirit
I waited patiently
Standing in the Temple courts
Unsure what I might see
A babe was thrust upon me
A tiny fragile child
His fingers tight around my own
Then suddenly I smiled
A deep and joyous laugh
Broke forth and overflowed
God has left his throne above
In man, made his abode
This tiny hand I'm holding
Put all the stars in place
The immortal God, invisible
To us has shown his face
The Alpha and Omega
The First and Last is He
To think that I am holding
The God who's holding me
(Based on Luke 2:25-35)

Everytime I read one of your poems I stand amazed and humbled at the clarity of thought, the flow of words. It's like sitting by a bubbling brook taking in the beauty of creation. That's what you paint with your words. Thanks for sharing this poem for review and your willingness to share other poems in Kindred Hearts. You are a gem. I do believe God is pleased. -- Glenn :-)
