The Gardener...

The Gardener... Sift..soften my rebellious heart Until it speaks for Thee So glib...my tongue can form the words How difficult...to be
From many chambered rooms extract The dross that dwells therein Self wrongly calls it 'lapses' You rightly call it 'sin'
Where sin-rot residue remains Root-route the evil there Rend to my heart with blood-bought loam Under Your Spirit's care
What varied beauty then might bloom Astounding all who see Grace-gardened ground where love can flower A bouquet Lord...for Thee

About the Poet
My hope is that through the poems I write God will be glorified.
I am reliant on the Holy Spirit for anything meaningful to say.
I am 71 years of age, married with three of a family...a retired Policeman living in Aberdeen, Scotland.
I play the Classical Guitar about grade4/5 level...and also paint after a fashion...although Van Gogh's in no danger!!
I learned of this site from a Christian friend,Laurie Jenkins.
I do hope that God blesses you through my poetry.
Every Blessing in Christ,
Raymond
