His Kingdom

Missing image

His Kingdom

For this reason I kneel before the Father
He loves me so yet I’m such a bother
He gave me life, for only but a season
I kneel before the Father, for this reason

To the heavens above, as I look out
His power is massive, I have no doubt
I pray to my Lord and I feel His love
As I look out to the heavens above

As I kneel here and I gaze above
I feel so tiny, like a little dove
I feel His love and I have no fear
And I gaze above as I kneel here

Before the Father, for this reason I kneel
And I’m so thankful, how He makes me feel
He loves us all, both sister and brother
For this reason I kneel before the Father

    Just randomly clicking through your poetry again...

    This was a beautiful prayer-like poem. Like I said before in one of my other comments, I have my own problems with religion, but this poems gives me hope. I should probably talk to God a little bit more and see what he tells me.

    Your poetry is amazing!

    Always,
    Cassie

    wow...this is such a beautiful poem of gratitude to Our Heavenly Father...most of us forget that life is a precious gift and we always take it for granted...your poem is a sweet reminder that each and every one of us is special even though sometimes we 'like a dove'...and we have to be thankful for this gift...by serving Him...

    This is very beautiful. The good Lord has shined down his talent so you can sing to him. I am sure it is a lovely wine that he beholds in a special way

    Amera, this is just so nicely done, it truly is, just lovely beyond description. I really enjoy seeing soemone your age with such values, it is impressive more than you know. I am not a church goer, although that may change shortly for a rather unusual reason, however, I am probably more religious than 90% of regular church goers. Why?? because there have been five incidents in my life where divine intervention stepped in to save me, and the expereinces were so powerful, so overwhelming, especially three of them, that to dismiss them as coincidence is ludicrous.

    Why me,and what am I being saved for, I do not know, but I supect I will within two years or less.

    so, yeah, this is a poem i can appreciate in mnay ways, thks

    Beautiful write. It seemed like spiritual love flowed through this piece. It made me think of a love of God and
    the acceptance people feel he gives them. Good luck in the contest.

    Bravo!!! Bravo!!! Bravo!!!

    Amera, This is divine. I feel so peaceful after reading about our Heavenly Father. Your rhythm and rhyme are superb as always and I do love this form. I am going to try it very soon. I keep seeing more of them. You make them look so easy and I can tell it is a challenge. It must be divine intervention. Thank you for sharing this beauty with me. You are an amazing poet and I love reading your work. Best wishes in the contest with such a beautiful piece. Love you my friend, Joyce
