Poems with scripture or regarding bible verses
Randomly in my head
Thoughts abounding
Think on these things
God’s word reminds me
I take thoughts
Captive in my head

Finally brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Philippians 4:8
The excited butterfly
Shouted at his friend below:
“Fly! Reach for the sky!”
“My time has not yet come”
Said the waiting caterpillar.
Tanka
In its own appointed time, eventually every caterpillar will fly, for it will transform into either a butterfly or a moth.
Perhaps that is the same timing for some people, therefore we should not judge.

A time for every purpose under heaven:…
Eccl. 3:1
“Abide in Me” He said
And I try to Remain
When my flesh groans instead
“Abide in Me” He said
“Wait on Me, do not dread,
Endure pruning’s pain”
Abide in Me” He said
And I try to Remain
Triolet
Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. John 15:4
Accept His word and you will
Bear fruit abundantly as you
Inhabit and
Dwell with Him, you will
Endure all seasons of life

On the city sidewalks
Disappears from view
As the two weary travelers
Seek shelter in a stable

Seeks, saves His sheep

In the Eastern sky
Was a sign
Of His birth
