The Gardener...
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

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
