written years passed, wanting to get feed back from author den's readers
Have you ever read..
A great and touching poem or statement.
And your life and heart is pounding and expressing..
Emotions contained within..
That makes you see Life..
What is really true ,
Or have you seen beauty in surroundings..
As a flower, breeze or captured in a picture of art.
Whether it be a play or demonstration..
Of events passed or future..
Then it will say" Author Unknown.".
And suddenly Sadness fill your being..
For credit and glory should be told..
How foolish! We exclaim Who..
When down inside our soul,
The answer is told...
Lies the builder and the Maker
Of all the things, past, future, and yet untold...
Is His, and yet we fail to see...
His signature...
Our Lord the creator of all..
In this I claim for His glory! Evermore.

as a poet, and a preacher, i approach "religious poetry" with a level of unease. I find most religious verse to be bad at best. it uses traditional religious terms and concepts either in a traditional way which produces smaltz. or in a sort of pop religion sense which creates smaltzy heresy.
in this poem you have missed both smaltz and smaltzy heresy. as such it rates high marks--the trouble with it, and i acknowledge that the poem goes back 24 years, is that you did not "finish the check": you did not push the thought all the way home. What are the implcations of the phrase "..the Creator of all.."? How is is creation signed?
Are you still angry at God for having lost a loved one due to sickness or unexpected circumstances? This book will give you a better understanding of death, God’s role in it, and what decision is before each of us that would allow us to see them agai
Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.
