    Poem Commentary

    This is for those who are going through tough trials and tribulations due to the economics of our time.

    Having Courage In Testing Times.

    Have you been the victim of the economics of today,
    Knowing that each dollar have less power and sway?
    Watching the challenging and testing times pass,
    As you sink form top to bottom of the income class?

    Focused  and staring sadly as the passing of time,
    And as you age, yet older and the debts climb,
    Never lose faith and go on crying,
    Even when these trials are testing and trying.

    Rise up! You noble child of the human race,
    Get that distressing frown from off your face,
    Never forget who controls all wealth,
    Your life breath, your possessions and your health.

    Be it known that all the silver and gold passing through many hands,
    Vast and innumerable as the oceans and sands,
    Belong to The Maker who created this world,
    When the ugliness of hunger and homelessness is unfurled.

    Rise up and go ye child of The Mighty One,
    Gifted child and brother of The Holy Son,
    Claim your dreams in the might of His name,
    Show to the world that this no game!

    So as you gaze to the heavens above,
    He signals with thunder and lightning his love,
    Compose yourself, go for your dreams and strive
    He has the power to satisfy and transform lives.

    Start giving thanks now for your answered payer,
    For giving you the job and new clothes to wear,
    And for a great future and inspiring year,
    Walking in true victory and without any fear.

    He is able, The Great one is able to carry you through, Amen!

    I not only like this poem, I love it! It is certainly a testament of encouragement to those who are having difficult times. Perhaps reminding them of not only WHO they are but WHOSE they are is enough to let them know know God is still on the throne. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts in poetic form.

    Thank you so much. This is a time to believe and not lose courage. this is a time of faith in the Omnipotent One!

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
