So many of my day have been spent Sifting sand through gold rush pans Coming up with nothing but fool's gold Or common stones So many times my thoughts Were of weariness And of my meager existence Many times I was Tempted to quit Give up Go home Instead I kept on Hanging By A Strong Golden Cord Of Love I Knew God Had For Me I am so glad He helped Me To Hang On For now He's Helping Me To Pick Up the Gold and the Diamonds He keeps sending my way.

Septsong, This poem is beautiful all around, in message, in form, in ironic impact. I'll give it an A+ for a job well done! David "Our Creativity points to a Higher Creator--we couldn't have just happened, and for what ability we may possess--to God be the glory." -dlw- |

Septsong, this is wonderful! It shows how He faithfully keeps picking us up! How he chisles away at us to expose our "diamond." We are the clay and He the potter! You've done a great job! <*\\\>< There's only two ways you can go... One way you can save your riches, And the other will save your soul. Rich Mullins |

Great analogy in amazing form. The Karate Kid always comes to mind, as must-do things seem so empty for so long, then we reap a harvest seeing the reasons for all those days. |

This is a really good example of great free-form poetry! Keep up the good work! "To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world" |

The Bible talks of a man who sifted through life collecting little gems along his way. I think the sifting is part of God's plan for us. But also... when that man found a "Pearl of Great" value he sold all he had just to have it, and we should'nt ever forget that..! Looks like you found that "Pearl." |
