There is a little brook,a lazy stream, that through the meadow flows, ever onward, never ceasing, ne're a care for where she goes. Serenity Though winters frosty breath has blown great branches in her midst, mossy stepping stones tossed hither, yet without care, she doth persist. Fortitude Thirst is quenched by Flora and Fawn, these she nourishes at her breast. So she nurtures all to flourish. giving herself, ne'er doth she rest Love and when the rains, they do cease, though her banks be parched and dry, and but a meager stream be left, soon filled by April showers sky. Hope So the effects of God's great Love are ever faithful and true. If we but have the eyes to see, that all he promises, He will do. Faith A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. [This message has been edited by ellie LeJeune (edited 03-31-2001).] |

I have to agree with Allan, the form was very complimentary and creative. And the message was beautiful. "...For since the creation of the world his invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made..."

Ellie, Though very natural in content, your poem is very full of wholesome imagery that is very typical of life...... In one way or another we are all streams that affect the lives of others. You met the Challenge very well. Bob <>< |
