God Speak...: poetry

- I am a poet in thought. Poetry sparked an interest around the ages of 8 and 10. Something about finding the hidden, interpreting and testing my perception. I was amused.

Reflection

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.
O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen. - Prayer of St Francis

Happy is the (wo)man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind.
~Ovid, a 17th century Roman poet

A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true. -Greg S. Reid

The LORD your God is with you, he is mighty to save. He will take great delight in you, he will quiet you with his love, he will rejoice over you with singing." Zephaniah 3:17
