My joyful journey
Brings me beside still waters
Trusting my Shepherd
To lead through pastures of green
Peacefully I stroll
Pockets filled with promises
Walking with my King
Over mountains high and wide
And valleys deep and narrow
Choka
(Based on Psalm 23)
Living in an imperfect world
With imperfect people
As we struggle to survive
Searching for answers
With imperfect people
We walk, talk and dwell
Searching for answers
Only God can help us achieve
We walk, talk and dwell
Climbing mountains
Only God can help us achieve
Are we willing to trust Him?
Climbing mountains
Living in an imperfect world
Are we willing to trust Him?
As we struggle to survive

#NaPoWriMo 2019–Day 26–Prompt: Today, I’d like to challenge you to write a poem that uses repetition.
Not once, in all times I’ve cried,
Coming to you broken,
In sorrow on bended knee,
Heart burdened with pain,
Not once, have You not heard.
Yet, of certain things
You’ve not replied though
In tears I ask again and again.
My heart knows as I walk
Taking steps my eyes can’t see,
That someday soon You will answer,
Fulfilling things hoped for
By this trusting soul, for
Not once, have You not heard.
Sonnet (Modern-unrhymed)
(Based on Hebrews 11:1 and 2Corinthians 5:7)
Well preserved
At His right hand
Pleasures eternal
Joy filled earthly life path
Is mine
Cinquain
(Poetry based on verses from Psalm 16)
Preserve me, O God:
for in You do I put my trust.
You will show me the path of life:
in Your presence is fulness of joy;
at Your right hand there are pleasures for evermore.
Like a fading leaf
I wonder as I age
And detach from life
On my aged tree
Just what the end will be
I am trusting and
Praying that God’s angels
Catch me when I fall
Asleep on this earth
And like the wind
Gently take me up
To my eternal home
Where I will live on
In the God’s presence
On His Tree of Life
Syllabic Verse
#OctPoWriMo Day 16
Filled with doubt I elect to stand
Holding fast His words in my hand
I trust and overcome fear,
Embrace life, enemies sneer, as they disband
Florette
(Based on Psalm 37: 39-40
But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble. And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.)
#OctPoWriMo Day 3-Insecurity
Theme: Insecurity Form: Florette
Prompts: doubt, trust, overcome, embrace, secure
A promise
Is only as good
As it’s source
Therefore
Place your trust in the Creator
Of the first promise
