I've been experimenting lately. As you know, my last entry was my first attempt at a love sonnet and this time it's a new rhyming pattern. I don't know if you want to know, but my poems generally take a form of 8/6 or 8 beats and 6 beats. This entry follows a 10/10 patterns, meaning each line has 10 beats in it. I'm not sure I like it but, as I said, I'm experimenting. We've got to try new things! Some people my age try skydiving, me, I try new poetic forms. Pretty darn exciting, huh? Anyway, I'm writing poems of encouragement lately as so many people are dealing with difficult things, so it's a good place to start.
LIFE IN
HIS LOVE
By Pat
Severin
Life often changes what may be Our Plan,
Leaves us to question, we don’t understand.
What have
I done, Lord, and what can I say...
To change
all of this OR must I just pray?
Just
pray’s not a JUST, He hears all your pleas.
He needs
you to come, head bowed on your knees.
Fervently
ask for the strength He can give,
A heart
that’s for Him, He’ll help you live.
Sometimes
this life may bring storms that are rough,
Rage with
such fury till we’ve had enough!
Sometimes
God calms them but sometimes He won’t,
Ask, Lord, where are you? You seem so remote!
But we
have to come when storms rage about,
Filled
with our worry and shackled with doubt
Our
heart's missing something but our life is, too,
God wants
to bring calm to wash over you.
When
trials will come and you know that they will,
Ask for
His strength and His words of “Be still!”
He’s
willing and waiting for you to ask.
What you
think is hard is His easy task.
He loves
you and wants to be with you today...
Always
remember to take time to pray.
Life will
bring storms like dealing with cancer,
But life
in HIS LOVE, that is the answer!
