One Coin Lost

Poem Commentary

Ever lost something very important to you? Something that you were certain you could not live without? Then, it happens - it is gone. You search, and search, and to no avail, you cannot find this thing. Life goes on; right? And then, one day, amazingly, that item that you lost long ago, it shows up. First you thought that life would cease without it. Then you managed to live without it. And now, it is back. So, the question is: truly, how important was that item? And more importatnly, what is so vital to life that you truly CANNOT survive without it? I have come to one conclusion: God, and my relationship with Him is the one thing that I cannot live without. Nuff Said!

One Coin Lost

True love gained, then lost,
  at what price, at what cost;
in my pocket, a precious coin,
  price too great, to rejoin;
questions rise, hopes dash and fall,
  blessings abound, trusting His all in all;
little words, cause grand smiles,
  which carry me on, over many miles;
thank you Father, for your grace,
  recovering that coin, a smiling face;
these days we hug, hours we kiss,
  that lost coin, no longer I miss.

This was great. VERY thought provoking and poignant :)

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
