i am like a stone
earthbound
pulled toward the inner core
the gravity of it all
stones are better than i
listening to God
when He calls them to move
and the sea
it knows the voice of God
and obeys
but i
i have the mind
thinking
wondering about the universe
or what’s for supper
i have the heart
wanting
longing to be the shining star child
i can not be

this is a favorite …
In a fewshortpoeticwords,you capturedthe chapter.
Love this and it sings my heart's song too.
This is wonderful Nance. I understand – with my whole heart, I understand.
I love this. It's incredible that we fall short so very much, but He loves us completely both before and after. The common stone may be better at obeying, but we draw His affection and that's mind-blowing. It changes everything. Thanks so much, Nance.
this is good stuff, Nancy. Good stuff.
Lovely poem-reflection, Nance.
thanks helen :-)
Stones are better at doing what they were created for than I am, too.However, you and I are called to a higher purpose. We are supposed to reflect His image. We have a harder job.I do like your poem, though. :-)
