Hello friends,
I am reminiscing at the moment. I have tried writing poetry in the past, mostly a collections of thoughts put to words. I have been yearning for a connect to what I have written in the past and thought why not share, my hope is that my words could be therapeutic to someone else. I believe God would want me to share and through the Holy Spirit could help others. This is my medium for doing so.
The first poem I wish to share, I originally called it a Sonnet but it is not.
A sonnet is a 14-line poem, traditionally written in iambic pentameter (ten syllables per line with a soft/loud rhythm) and following a strict rhyme scheme, that explores a single idea or feeling, often with a turn in thought (volta) before the conclusion.
The original title was:
Life Sonnet 10.11.22
Circles go round
Season always passing
Years flying by
Hair once golden
Silver now abounds
Thinning each day
From womb bursting
Discovery of youth
Reconciling dated age
Rich soil planting
Cultivated earth growing
Mature fields harvest
Speaking to say
Listening to hear
Meditating to understand
Alone not I
Not me alone
God with me
Spirit in us
Jesus our Savior
God our Father
Alpha and Omega
Beginning and End
Always and Forevermore

This poem more closely resembles a Roundelay, a lyric poem traditionally with 24 lines, featuring repeating refrains and rhyme.
“And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” —Matthew 28:20b
I love this verse where Jesus promises His disciples, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (NIV) or “…even unto the end of the world” (KJV), assuring His perpetual presence with believers. This powerful promise signifies that God’s presence isn’t just physical but through His Holy Spirit, offering guidance, comfort, and assurance through all of life’s trials.
We are never alone! Hallelujah Amen!
