I wrote poetry from time to time when I was younger; but, that was rare and far between. Then in 2004, I began to write Christian poetry with more frequency. It would be hard to tell you what happened; but, it seemed as though the words would flow from my heart. Today, I have been working on upgrading my website so that it is more visible. My desire is to spread the Joy of Christ through the media available. At times that has been quite a learning experience, as I did not grow up in the computer age and have had to learn by trial and error at time. I changed the format, so all my “shares” reset themselves to zero; but, this is for the better—at least it is suppose to be. This weeks poem was inspired by those experiences today.
A Voice For You
By Effie Darlene Barba
I Google this and Facebook that
Dear Lord, how can it be
That life has now become complex
The forest midst the trees
My Father, dear I wish to write
And tell them of your word
Or even speak-to be your voice
Is that a dream absurd?
I know, dear Lord I have no skill
No great or brilliant mind
The only thing I have to give
My heart to thine affined
I give to you my voice, my hands
To do with as You please
And when I wander off somewhere
Please Lord, my will do seize
Help me Lord, to not get lost
Amidst this techy world
So that your Glory might shine forth
On peaceful wings unfurled
And teach me all I need to know
To spread your word abroad
That when they see your beauty fair
Their soul enwrapped and awed
Dear Father, now on bended knee
I bow before your throne
Please take from me each selfish thought
Replace them with Your own
