Agape

Just a poem that I came up with today, after receiving some comfort from some good Christian friends.

Agape

 

By Eddie Davis

 

Chicken soup for the soul,

Doesn’t last much past the bowl,

And upon this can you depend,

The love of family and a friend,

 

It may not seem on a darker day,

When November winds blow cold and grey,

There is a hand which you can hold,

Or human warmth to fight the cold,

 

But like a candle’s flicker-fit,

Within a draft; it still stays lit,

So we the vessels of clay so flawed,

Must put our trust in Almighty God,

 

And though one day the flame shall fail,

Your life will end and the mourners wail,

Yet those who trust in Jesus Christ,

Will find this friend the highest priced,

 

Yet free to all who come to him,

With broken souls and hope so dim,

So though you may lack friend and mother,

You have one closer than a brother,

 

Who walks beside you all your life,

Through glory days and times of strife,

And will be surely by your side,

Until the day that you have died,

 

Then afterwards, in places grand,

He will take you hand in hand,

Escorting you unto your place,

Fulfilling His Amazing Grace,

 

There no more will cold winds blow,

Hearts won’t pine, nor teardrops flow,

There alone are my hopes stored,

Life eternal with Christ my Lord

"So we the vessels of clay so flawed..." Flawed vessels we are, indeed. Thanks for the enlightenment. I hope themes of faith should be more prevalent in poetry. There's not much around...

This is so inspiring, Eddie. I like to read articles about faith. Actually I'm also making a book entitled VOICE OF FAITH, as inspired by other writers, too.
Continue spreading the goodness of our Lord.
Thanks for the share.

Thank you, Dhaye, I'm really not much of a poet, but sometimes the blessings of God inspire me to try.

[Dhaye]

Probably God had given you that talent that you only discovered now for a special mission just like the others I met here. My best wishes. God bless!

[Eddie Davis]

thanks, I pray whatever God desires of me, I will always be willing to do. God bless and Merry Christmas.
