I AM 77 YEARS OLD TODAY!!!! IT’S ANOTHER YEAR, Y’ALL…THAT GOD HAS KEPT ME AND BROUGHT ME THROUGH, HALLELUJAH!!!! PRESSING-ON!


Poem Artwork

77 years ago today

God breathed life…into 

this lump of clay 

Into existence I came

to a woman I’ve never met 

who left me, due to shame

 

But, it was entirely God’s will

this conclusion I have reached…

is without mistake

For, He primed me…

and kneaded me well…

to take all…I had to take

He’s Writer, producer and

director of this, my story…

which is...His...on-going play

And seeing…within me

where nobody else can…

He atones my erred sashays

Now, while I’ve walked …there were

things I have done, regrettably…

that were wrong

And …I’m grateful to Him

for teaching, how…to turn…

with repent-full song

It was while traveling on

that notable …wide-road…

in a vacant hour...

That His gleaming light

found and guided me to…

narrow-road’s…Tower

There I’ve remained…content

walking with Mercy and Grace…

choosing…to abide 

And He never ceases to 

mold me, in ways He sees fit... 

His...joy unspeakable…presides 

 

I know, void the Presence of Him

I never would've survived those...

low places…nor reached, my brims

Albeit, before my first cry…dawned

God has...Always Loved Me…from

77 years ago, today…and beyond

 

1Pet 1:8 & 2:9, Ps 71:6-8, Jer 31:3

Congratulations on making it this far and still writing poetry on a daily basis.

At our recent 60th high school reunion, I learned that over half of my twin brother and my classmates are dead. From here on out every new year we live will be an accomplishment.

Happy Birthday, JMS Bell.

I've just returned to AuthorsDen and I am so glad I found your poetry.

Your spiritual/inspiration poetry is so very heartfelt and personal, but it is through your very vulnerable words that you touch and guide so many other who stop and read.

Thank you for sharing.

Your poem here is more then outstanding, its a cry of the heart that cannot be missed by Our Lord above. How blessed the earth is, with you in it my dear friend. I have been deeply enriched by your poems, may you continue to pen with a glad full heart, as he continues to bless you with good health, and love xo
