If you ever feel discouraged, this prayer-poem is for you: "With Darkened Thoughts and Lonely Sighs." I wrote it last night and polished it up this morning. You'll note some Bible allusions in the text. Can you identify them?
This one I like. A lot. "The Heart Is Slow."
HOW MANY READ MY LINES
by J. Randal Matheny
How many read my lines I'll never know,
Or if they quickly scan or read them slow,
For few, so few, will ever leave a note
To say they stopped for truths that I promote;
Nor can I say if they were touched within,
Where only God's invisible Spirit has been;
As fingers click to advance the restless soul
And opinions quick to vote from poll to poll.
Although my frequent posts have paltry views,
'Tis mine this task to write and tell Good News;
As few below there be who're moved or stirred,
There's One above who reads my every word.
