Miss Kate has given us the word prompt Next this week. The Five Minute Friday community is a group of people that gather weekly to write on a one word prompt. We offer encouragement to each other. It would be lovely to have you join us. Think on it won’t you? This is my poem, what will come next.
Good Friday
A yearly occurrence
a time to remember
to reflect on what
God, the creator of my very soul
Did for me
and
For the whole of mankind.
A son
A dearly loved son
The only son that came directly
From him.
That Son.
Given
For a people
Determined to ignore him.
To find another one
to love and follow.
Except there are some
A chosen few
A chosen people who
With soft hearts
Seek
and seek find
Finding more they ever imagined they would find
Sometimes
Sometimes as they seek
they wonder what’s next
What will happen
When new truth is discovered?
As God reveals his glory
to those who seek
How will life be changed?
What is next?
What new souls is
this seeker going to help
hearts soften?
It’s amazing this journey
This looking deeper
into the heart of love.
The changes wrought in a soul.
Do you ever wonder what’s next?
If not
Just ask.
Beautiful Annette! And we do find more than we could have imagined, don’t we!! I’m your #fmf FB neighbor today! I wish you a blessed Easter, Cindy
thank you Cindy, wishing you the well remembered Easter as well. 🙂
Oh, this is such a peaceful poem, speaking of promises that are there for the taking. One stanza really caught my attention –
As God reveals his glory
to those who seek
How will life be changed?
What is next?
What new souls is
this seeker going to help
hearts soften?
You know, we pray so often for our children and this is what we are praying for – their hearts to be softer, lives to be changed. Beautiful poem.
thank you Lori. 🙂 My heart is smiling.
