I found this poem in Streams of the Desert and liked it so much I decided to share it with all of ya'll! I hope you are blessed by it! Once I heard a song of sweetness, As it cleft the morning air, Sounding in its blest completeness, Like a tender, pleading prayer; And I sought to find the singer, Whence the wondrous song was born; And I found a bird, sore wounded, Pinioned by a cruel thorn. I have seen a soul in sadness, While its wings with pain were furl’d, Giving hope, and cheer and gladness That should bless a weeping world; And I knew that life of sweetness, Was of pain and sorrow borne, And a stricken soul was singing, With its heart against a thorn. Ye are told of One who loved you, Of a Saviour crucified, Ye are told of nails that pinioned, And a spear that pierced His side; Ye are told of cruel scourging, Of a Saviour bearing scorn, And He died for your salvation, With His brow against a thorn. Ye “are not above the Master.” Will you breathe a sweet refrain? And His

Hey Hannah,
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about your brother, how did he pass away? Your faith in Jesus is so evident in this post! I'm also left handed (and love it too) and my favourite colour is also blue! Thank you for commenting on my blog.
Hi Jess Leigh,
DeleteMy brother died of Leukemia. I have posted a series about him on my blog, so if you would like to read more about it then you can click on "Micah" under my labels. As much as we all miss him, I rejoice in the fact that he is with his Savior and that some day I will see him again.
Thank you for stopping by my blog!
Have a happy day full of sunshine, smiles, and laughter!

I love your new blog look!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maggie! I wanted it to be more spring looking. ;)
DeleteDon't know where the Five-Acre wood is but I doubt it's near our woods. Sorry about your brother, I have never been through that but should it happen, I would hope to face it with the same attitude you have. Yol Bolsun!

Thank you, Sarah! You are so sweet!
DeleteWow, quite the poet! I've tried that before, but it was kinda sad... and unrecognizable as poetry. :)
ReplyDeleteHehe! Thanks! I do enjoy writing poetry, although I don't always think that it comes out well. A lot of my poetry is free style, too, so I don't have to stick to any super strict rules. ;) Writing poetry is definitely not for everyone, but with practice you can always get better even if you don't become a pro. ;)
DeleteOh, and thanks for checking out my blog and leaving a comment. Always makes my day to find a comment here and to find that someone else is visiting my blog. Hope you'll come back!
DeleteYeah, new comments help brighten up the day! I'll be back!
DeleteWow! I see that you have done a blog make-over!
ReplyDeleteI love your description. It describes you well. A person I love to be with!
