As I quietly pause to pray,
I asked Jesus to be with me today.
For at the start of each morning
I am preparing for a new day’s journey.
What each day has in store
Is only known by the Lord.
Must keep on trusting him
To lead me safely home each evening.
Where I can sit and be at rest;
With gladness and peace I am blessed
As I know by faith God is still with me;
Holding and keeping me for eternity.
I have recently learned about a new poem style known as a freku. It begins with a free verse poem and then concludes with a summarizing haiku; hence the term freku. This is my second try with such a poem.
Like a river that gently comes and goes,
The day opens and flows before me.
Like a river that turns and bends, it unfolds
With unknown events; hidden and unseen.
And like a river softly forever lapping in a
Continuous tinkling stream,
I must trustingly wade through this new day
By walking with the Lord in faith and
Letting him lead me the way.
Like a river that
Flows, must keep on trusting and
Faithfully follow.
Heavenward gaze
Over the twinkling stars in space.
Looking forward to see
Dreams become reality.
Internal spirit soars and thrives
Never giving up in life.
Going forward each new day
Onward along life’s unknown pathway.
Not forgetting who stays with me;
Trusting Jesus and choosing to believe.
Obstacles are triumphantly overcome;
Hurdles are trampled into the ground.
Optimistic view of the future;
Pressing in faith to endeavor,
Enduring in trust to persevere.
The loss of a dream
Drains my hope until the Lord
inspires my still soul.
He opens my eyes
With hope renewed and keeps my
Heart forever true.
Focused on him in
His home above, I’m anchored
In faith and his love.
He remains in my
Heart from morning’s dew and through
Night’s shadowy rule.
Now onward I go
Through this new day, trusting
In him all the way.
On day 3 in my poetry 201 class, I was asked to write a new poem containing the word “trust”, using an acrostic and internal rhyme. I must admit, this is getting more challenging but I think I did. Do you think I accomplished the assignment? Here is my new poem:
Looking into the FUTURE
Forward gazing into the
Unexplored and unknown.
Trusting and embracing that
Unfilled hopes will soon become
Realized dreams at the end of
Enduring determination, my dear friend.
