I was a word

Missing image

before I entered this time-tunnel
of what is called life
I was a word

before a single cell of me
was formed
I was a word

before I was a thought in
mother's mind
I was a word

 

before anyone knew

my name

I was a word

 

before You breathed in

my first breath

I was a word



Before I arrived
on a planet
 ...called earth
I was a word...


                       ...spoken...

 

 

 

 

       

 

 

 

...from the very lips of God

In a list

    Mary this is just awesome!!!! You really should try and publish girl!!! You would sell MILLIONS!!!! Than I would come and mooch off of you!!!!.. I am just kidding dear! But you have serious writing talent and everything you write seems to permeate spirituality!!! You are touched by God's hand and this poem is a definite reflection of that for sure!!!! Just Beautiful once again!!!~~~Toni~~~

    I really enjoyed reading this poem. I loved the repetitiveness throughout the poem, "I was a word". The breaks in the poem also add a nice touch. The background is very effective as well!
