Poem -
Worthy
Little precious moments away from suffering,
My mind though now; looped in buffering.
My heart longs for your Temple near me!
That I might hide myself in thee!
The choir lifts my gaze on high!
Hoping for solace in a spacious sky!
Deliver me oh Lord! I humbly plead,
Escape from persecution! is what I need.
Send me angels; and rescue my soul!
Hearts around me; are black as coal!
Voice responded as I knelt in prayer,
" Brothers and sisters all around thee there,"
"Bring them to me in worthy haste,"
"Leave thought of self; that ye may be chaste."

thank you bunches Robert!
Hello Jim...
I've had 3 strangers tell me this week Jesus is coming real soon...
A couple of them said really fast...
I said not too fast especially, if God's still working on my mansion...
It's going to be amazing!
I just know it!!
After that we said hello and we talked at different times of course for maybe15 or 20 minutes...
The first one talked to me for 45 minutes to an hour...
I tried saying nice meeting you, nice talking to and I took a couple of steps and apparently she still had more she wanted to say because, there I was again, another conversation and then she brought it back to what she had previously said...
ββββββThe next two that said that I was like nothing is surprising me right now...
Lol!
It's been an interesting week indeed!
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Your friend!

wow! thank you Marion!
This life is a slog filled with pain and suffering. Keeping centered can be a challenge. Hoping and praying for something better has been a prevailing theme from the beginning. Peace will come in death one way or the other.
Great write!

awsome poemΒ
thank you Greg!
thank you so much Carol Anne!
Interesting Jim .Β
I'm sorry that there is hearts of coal .
Very relevant first line , true as gold .
Hearts of gold are still there, and worthy ness is not for us to judge .Β
I have to make judgments everyday about actions of people around me to protect my family, but I treat everyone with kindness and fairness. We are to forgive everyone, but we don't have to trust everyone. We all have to make judgments everyday, not whether or not we won't try to help our neighbor, we are not to judge if they are worthy of hell or heaven, only to make informed decisions. I have to judge a person to decide to vote for them, not if I believe that they are evil or righteous. Black as coal means, absence of light' and or knowledge. thank you Liliana for your judgment of my words!
Your words Jim Β are deep and meaningful had me thinking hard about life and beyond ..Β

much thanks Alice!
So uplifting and relatable. Just wonderful Jim. Hope you are well πβοΈβ€οΈ
So wonderful to hear from you Shelley-anne! I'm fine, hope your days are filled with joy! thank you for your support!
Jim, another well written and crafted sonnet to bolster one's spirit.
Your opening line is so poignant for soΒ many, pain is endemic through all ages and not just today.
Of all sorts mental, physical and spiritually (the lack of it, through lacking hope/belief).
Your closing lines raise the bar on what has gone before and Jim,
William Shakespeare would be proud of you and what's on display here.
A sonnet most definitely but if one looks closer, you have woven and mirrored it in perfect harmony with a modern day psalm.
Great poem Jim!
we should be humble enough to except service from others, but most importantly, have a giving heart! I try to have spiritual eyes and ears to see, hear and feel the promptings that can guide and teach us to be more like the Master, your comments Shaun humble me as these words are a reflection of His influence. Thank you Shaun! your words reflect His kindness!
thank you K G!
