Title: LIFE
Post by: Al Moak on April 18, 2003, 07:27:08 PM
LIFE


I LOVE THE TREES, SO GREEN AND TALL
I LOVE THE MOUNTAINS, STREAMS, AND ALL
BUT STILL THIS WORLD'S A DYING PLACE
UNLESS WE HAVE CHRIST'S INWARD GRACE.

BEAUTY GREAT AROUND WE SEE,
FAR GREATER BEAUTY YET SHALL BE
WHEN ALL DECAY IS GONE AWAY
AND NIGHT'S REPLACED BY BRIGHTEST DAY

WHEN FIRST WE SEE HIS LOVLINESS
THEN HEART RESPONDS IN HAPPINESS
WHEN EYES CAN SEE WHAT HE HAS DONE
HEARTS  FULLY WARMED, THEN, BY THE SON

A very nice poem with a wonderful thought about life.

This is what life is all about.

Great, Al.  I like rhyming poetry.  But that that doesn't rhyme isn't poetry to me.  

I forgot to say Papa John's is great, too.  

Life and memories...Memories and life.  One and the same!

That's looks nice on the webpage Sonja, and it's good that other people are able to see it.  Things like that can be used by God to help draw people to Himself.

Great work Sonja and Al.

Anthony.
