A POET IS .............. ?

BRIAN & ANGELA



 

 

A POET IS ........... ?

 

A  TREE watered by experience ~ Fruit is Poetry

A  SOWER who sows Seeds of Truth 

A  ROSE that opens up Words of Beauty 

A  DOVE spreading Parables of Peace 

An  ANGEL sharing the Word of GOD  

A  CLOWN juggling Oodles of Happiness

A  LAMP shedding light in Dark Places 

A  POOR MAN lest He be polluted by Riches

A  STAR whose lyrics Point the Way Ahead

A  SHEPHERD who leads us by Still Waters

 

POETS & POETRY are God's gift to Planet Earth !

              Jeremiah 17:7 - 8
              My.Friend.
              Keep those roots nurtured, and those words pure. Stay.Blessed.

                He will be like a Tree
                Planted by the water
                That sends out its roots
                by the stream ! It does not
                fear when heat comes ~ Its
                leaves are always green ! It
                has no worries in a Year of
                drought ~ and never fails
                to bear FRUIT ~ AMEN !

                Thanks Friend for your encouraging comment ! We need to keep our minds fixed on GOD ~ Yours BRIAN
