Tune: Dominus Regit Me
('The King of love my Shepherd is')
Inspired by a painting of a cargo ship
on the sea, by A.R.
*************
As through the sea of life we go
May we your presence, Lord, know
Through storm and calm, and wind and wave
You the only one, does save
Grant to us, Lord, all we need, for
You do provide for us sure
Your grace is multi-faceted
Your people as your sheep e'er lead
Gifts and skills help us to employ
May none them fade or destroy
As a cargo ship in life's sea
Laden with precious goods we be
For all is given from your hand
To all peoples, every land
Help us to serve, glorify you
And strengthen us daily anew

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8.6.8.6. metre. I looked at some artists paintings online, and wrote poems on a couple of them, before visiting an Arts Studios Open Days. I gave the poems to the artists in person, who enjoyed them (not so far this year though, of course).

Wow!
Thanks Josh. I tried uploading the pic, but was not successful.
A fine piece today Orchidee. the feeling i get when i am in a place which fills me with awe. Such as among the hills or upon the beach without the crowds. Places which one might describe as being the natural cathederals of the creator.
Thanks dusk.
Great write O
Thanks M. What does Miss Berles need?
She didn't knee anyone - just vicious gossip.
