Roy, hello,
Water is important in life, and you use it well in your poem. Your touching poem touts the vastness and unimaginable joy of being immersed in God's love. On a down day, you have reminded me that it's God's Faithful love that brings true happiness.
Thank you for lifting my spirits.
Blessings and hugs,
Cindy

This story reminded me of why I'm against abortion. God knew us before we were born. He was with us during conception. We were a child of God then. Thank you for sharing this beautiful reminder with us.

Excellent poem, Roy! I love how you took a story and turned it into a strong poem with rhythm and a remarkable message. You deserve the six star. Can't wait to see what you read next time.

-A well written poem with a good topic, Roy.
-Effective imagery and rhyme.
-I like the progression from verse to verse,
starting with a trickle to brooks and streams.
-I also like how you make it a journey
that leads to dreams and "joy's loving glow."
-A very good closing verse.
-Thanks for sharing it.

Yes, I'm loving my daughtership and crown today. Sometimes I'll catch a glimpse of my myself in heaven, how I appear, and with the Lord Jesus Christ, and it's too wonderful for words. Thank you for the beautiful poem, my friend.
Sending you and yours my very best today as always.

    You are a queen indeed Sally, every time you speak I see the Lord beaming and starting to dance, and saying to His Angels, this is my beloved daughter of whom I'm boasting in her beautiful, faithful heart. Bless you Sally. Roy

We always hear from birth to death, so I loved "from death to life" here, reversing our course on Earth.

Thanks for sharing, Roy.

A pleasing interpretation of a bit of the Good Book. (WIsh my experience of floods didn't prejudice me against too much water.) I like the refreshing's flows... an interesting way of using a possessive. I suggest you check your notes though- Evil Eddie got at them,

This poem, The River, presented with four ABCB-rhymed quatrains, reflects the course of our river of righteousness which flows from God to us and back to God. Nice.

To be consumed in the power of God's love, is more than having an emotional experience, though it is indeed emotional. However, it motivates one to change one's life, and sends one on a mission to spread the waters of the river so others might drink from its life giving flow.
Beautifully written verses.
RJ
