There on the hill stood an old country church,
pine trees hovered around it like soldiers on alert.
The window panes glistened, mirroring the sky,
three crosses stood on a hillside close by.
Dark clouds tried to obstruct the striking view,
buttercups and daisies emitting a nice hue.
A ray of sunshine peeked through the clouds,
landing on the crosses standing there and proud.
I couldn't believe the stunning sight,
the crosses lit up like a dazzling light.
I rubbed my eyes, watching in disbelief,
my heart and soul found it hard to believe.
I walked up the spiraling hill toward the church,
I found an ailing lamb trying to give birth.
In distress and unable to pull herself up,
looking at me...like I'm having bad luck.
I came to her aid as I patted her wooly head,
if I didn't do something, they both would be dead.
I looked to the crosses lit up like a dazzling light,
must make a decision and it better be right.
I gave the baby lamb a gentle tug,
Mother lamb jumped up like giving it a hug.
Standing there to make sure eyerything is okay,
the baby lamb bucked like it wanted to play.
I looked back to the hill were the crosses stood,
feeling in my heart, I had done some good.
Thinking about Jesus being called the Lamb,
I fell to my knees and gave thanks to the Great I Am.
Very inspirational poem, makes one think about the miracles God performs everyday. Maybe it was his guiding hand that led the writer to the Church on this particular Day.
Absolutely beautiful spiritual thoughts
And very vivid imagery I could almost
See the church and you given that baby lamb a gentle tug
I feel your inspirational feelings throughout this
Powerfully written poem!!

Barbara I thank God for everything everyday of my life and I find myself apoligizing to Him for I feel that I turn to him so often.
Thank you for sharing.
I find myself doing that a lot more lately. In fact I seem to be thanking God dozens of times a day now for so much. I really feel His Holy Spirit more than I ever have, guiding, sharing, keeping the path lit. Something is happening, something beautiful, like this write.
Blessings sister ...

Barbara, the "Old Country Church" is truly beatiful. The setting of the church, the crosses, and then the relativity of the lambs to the Lamb of God is nothing less than masterful. Great write.
Oh my what a touching and inspiring write my friend, this is very humble, and heartfelt...I felt as though I was with you through the entire visit to the little country church! Enjoyed this much!

This is a book of free verse poetry that addresses the seven main tests in life and offers some sensible solutions to passing those tests with minimal discomfort.
