This mountain is high and steep
But I know You don’t make fences I can’t climb
And the landscape I am presently unable to hold
Is keeping me firmly grounded in my Faith
I know it’s simply just a matter of time
Before I climb and conquer this ladder
Father, sow Your seed in my soul
Keep my eyes intent upon Your goal
So when the tree falls, whether north or south
And when the clouds swell, whether in rain or drought
I pray that my roots run deeper than anything I’ve ever known
There’s been a drifter come into my life
And I know he hasn’t got much time left to stay
I just pray, I might plant a seed that will flourish in him
He hasn’t had many hands extended his way
But somehow he knows something I don’t
And he’s gone before I am aware of what he’s done
There on a paper napkin it read:
“Seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,
And all these things will be given to you as well.”
Father, sow Your seed in my soul
Keep my eyes intent upon Your goal
So when the tree falls, whether north or south
And when the clouds swell, whether in rain or drought
I pray that my roots run deeper than anything I’ve ever known
I will be firmly rooted in my Faith
I will nourish this seed until breath leaves and I am Yours
There on a paper napkin it read:
“If you have faith as small as a mustard seed,
You can say to this mountain
‘Move from here to there’
And it will move.”
A Drifter came into my life
I am aware of what He has done

I fear I have spoken too soon. I have noticed that your poems DO rhyme yet they still are so beautiful. I suppose it is because you allow the rhymes to vary. (Not following a Dr. Suess pattern.) The Holy Spirit is wonderful isn't He? The way he drops these poems in your spirit.
