I have only ever attempted to write one poem, besides school assignments while growing up. Here is my humble attempt at poetry…

 

 

The Promise, Yes!

 

 

Tiny leaves that fell that day,

One October Morning.

I woke with the thought

Of death so near

To the lives of those

I hold so dear.

 

 

I stood, and watched the leaves fall,

            The breeze was so gentle,

                Yet one be one

                        Clinging to life

                                They fell,

                                    Died

                                    Soon to decay.

 

 

How could this, so grave and so sad

Hold such beauty and joy!

THE PROMISE, YES!

Spring will come!

And with it new life

Only from

Our loving Creator.

 

 

In this time of death and sorrow,

Where is there comfort and hope?

THE PROMISE, YES!

Death for the saints

Brings life with Him

Our Lord and Savior!

What joy! What Hope!
