On, A Warrior's Faith

On, A Warrior's Faith

Dear Lord, how great
Is the sweetness
That you will bleed for,
Dear friend, when I cry
Why is it you see more?
When my sister died
Why did I fall down,
Why did I cower?
And when my hands are clean
Is it a trumpeting
Of your power?
Dear Lord, I feel
I require more
Than bread and water,
Dear friend, we must be modest
Sheer the sheep,
Spare the slaughter,
And when these two things
I fear, become a river
Between us,
And when the blade, and the will
Become the ultimate difference,
Dear Lord, I pray to you
For your divine
And most Holy deliverance,
Into that
Which weย understand,
As righteousness,
And Holy,
Justice...

Hi ย Tony such a powerful write like a prayerย 
asking for deliverance,ย ย I feel
for own shortcomings in lifeย 
not being able to understand hard times whyย 
we have to go through them but God has a planย 
for all.(my interpretation)ย 
This verse stood out for me so profound!

"ย Dear Lord, I feel
I require more
Than bread and water,
Dear friend, we must be modest
Sheer the sheep,
Spare the slaughter,"

A Great write and a thought provoking one for meย 
Love n hugs Debs xo

My Brother Poet Tony,

This great warrior seeks God's shield. ย This powerful Samurai looks to God in askance. ย This soldier of mankind beckons his Lord to guide him in his journey to the promised land. ย This mortal man supines himself to his Lord and master, seeking His omniscience.

Peace, Love and Rockets,

xox Larry
