My Dear Child – A Letter-Poem
The Poetics prompt at dVerse Poets Pub today is to write a letter-poem. Mary suggested a number of options, but I decided to write a letter from God to one of His weary children.
My Dear Child
My Dear child,
I see that you are trying to be
just as good as you can be
but what you clearly do not see
is you can’t do this without Me
I know that you are wondering why
I do not stop what makes you cry
but if on Me you will rely
every tear that falls I’ll dry
I love you more than you’ll ever know
in you holiness I want to grow
and though your progress may seem slow
the path you walk is the way you must go
I will comfort you when times are tough
I will watch over you when life is rough
I will rescue you when you’ve had enough
What’s too big for you, to Me is small stuff
Grace and peace,
Your Heavenly Father

Thank you for this. Favorited it.
You’re welcome. I’m glad you liked it. 🙂 Peace, Linda
This is beautiful, Linda! I love the message and the fact that you were even able to write it in rhyme. I do think it shares The Message very clearly! I am glad the prompt really resonated with you.
This is a lot of truth in this… the love of parents is so often misunderstood … a problem I guess have always existed.
smiles…that is the essence of his letter to us through the apostles….still waiting on the ‘be there soon’ letter….smiles.
