Indeed, you are blessed. All the riches you described in your poem are available right here on earth. How can it get any better? But it will. I too am so blessed to be a son of the King. I anxiously await his return.

Beautiful praise poem! And you always do such fabulous nature descriptions. I agree if these are but a foretaste of what we may experience in Heaven, how amazing is what is to come! Best wishes in the contest!

This is beautiful faith poetry. All the riches God has provided is out there for everyone but too many people are looking for all the negatives in life and fail to see all the beauty and wonder you mention in your poem. I think you have to be in tune to the Master in order to enjoy it.

It's a testament to your skill as a poet that you can swing from your hilarious Thanksgiving poem to this most delicate and reverent imagery of all that we are blessed with! I could contemplate this poem for hours...

My favorite line is: "I've heard the voice of the Almighty One
in whispers of the wind..."

Yes! I have as well!

    Thanks for a wonderful review, Dear. I enjoyed writing (and feeling), too, that line. My favorite was "I've sensed the scents of heaven in our honeysuckle world"
