Prayer is the breath
That revives my soul.
Prayer is the balm
That makes my spirit whole.

Prayer is the breath
That revives my soul.
Prayer is the balm
That makes my spirit whole.
The good deeds that I do
Are not what can save my soul.
That's not why I do them,
It should never be the goal.
I have seen what words can do,
As I deal with people everywhere;
The tongue is powerful, it's true!
Something to tame and use with care.
That was such a kind and honest evaluation. I can't take all the credit for this particular poem though. I owe it to my mum - the first person to point out Prov. 15:1 to me in the Bible, and...
Analysis of Form and Technique
Life may not let me choose my lot,
But whether I'd be happy or not...

How I wish to trust
In life, no questions asked,
Hanging on God's words,
Confident and relaxed,
If we all followed the beautiful simple sentiment of the poem we wouldn't have half the troubles we have.
Where my heart truly lies
Is in the beauty of a simple life,
In a little peace and quiet,
Slower pace and lesser strife.
There's a still small voice,
Always there to aid my choice.
Wisdom's whispers soft but strong,
Teaching me right from wrong...

There are times to hurry.
Some things in life call for speed.
But more than ever, I'm learning
That pace is really what I need.
