Life is Precious

Poem By: Adam Phoenix
Poetry


Life, something we take for granted. Something that we misuse or want to end...but do we have that right? View table of contents...

Life is precious,

No need to refine,

For it is a gift given to all,

But it was not your gift to give,

So why do we abuse it?

Should we not use it to worship the One who gave it?

Or to serve His creation, those he made with His own hands?

Yes at times it becomes hard to press on,

But He is there to help,

For we are more precious then gold,

He sees all,

He clothes the flowers with petals,

Feeds the birds with grain,

And even bathes the planet in warmth and light,

You cannot say a soul is worth less then those,

So do not worry about tomorrow,

Nor let the troubles of today wear you down,

For be grateful that you breathe,

Be grateful . . . for Him.

Good job! I especially like "He clothes the flowers with petals," beautiful description, one I could visualize. I do not know if these are poems you had written before and are just now putting out, or if they are brand new--either way, the ones I have read today are very good! Did I send you a challenge??

I'm glad you enjoyed it. The poems I put out today I've had for a little bit except for this one. Glad you like them.

For some reason this made me think of my favorite verse in the bible. Psalm 18:28, For thou wilt lit my candle; The Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
An amazing poem saying we give thanks to Him which indeed we should all our lives. For if He wasnt here... We wouldnt be. =)

I'm glad that you see that way!

I always admired people who believe in Him... but the truth is, He isn't existent. Sorry Mandy.

"I liked" your poem.

Take care.

I'm sorry that you feel that way, but I believe beyond the shadow of a doubt that he's real. How else would you explain everything that around was created?

I don't think the comment section is the right forum for debating the existence of the divine. Hopefully an arguement won't start over this.

Now, onto matters at hand. Beautiful poem, I can tell it came from the heart. - D.Azir

I'm glad that you liked the poem, and thx for your other comment but any place is the best time to talk about Him.

I know I already commented on this, but I have to again. Today I can feel Him more strongly than other days, and I think this poem helped a bit with that. The sky is blue and there isnt any wind. I'm feeling better than I have in a few days. Thank you for adding to a good day with this wonderful poem Adam. There's a lot of truth in the words you write. =)
