I have two compulsory periods each year when I must sit still for hours at a time, and a third one was added this year. It is a good time to organize thoughts. Even so, I am surprised at the amount of poetry I have produced in the last year. Though I have not actually counted, there may be more poetry entries than others.
I love to say how God should be glorified in each facet of life and thought. He is a kind and worthy Master. Any value I have comes from Him.
This latest attempt at communicating His worth in poetry was prompted by posters and decorations that are meant to pump people up. Why isn’t it working? Why is depression and suicide at its highest? Here is my take on the subject:
Over fragranced
Over stuffed
Brightly colored
Greatly fluffed
Thus promoted
Self-esteem
So developed
A mere meme
Accomplishment
That is real
Encouragement
The real deal
Truest value
Comes from God
Another view
Fake and odd
In God’s image
We were made
So His brightness
On parade
In the garden
Sin did mar
Need of pardon
Left a scar
Jesus overcame
Sin and death
He took our shame
Gave us breath
These two reasons
Give us hope
Bright new seasons
Help us cope
You have value
Purpose, too
Eternal view
To pursue
Jesus is our
Fragrance sweet
Strength in each hour
Makes complete
Sweetest flowers
Come from this
Shout from towers
Eternal bliss
Brightest colors
Truly blest
End of horrors
Ever rest
