Poems of Conviction

Some May Come As Tourists To Take In All The SightsSome May Make A Scheduled Stop Then Board Connecting FlightsSome May Come On Business To Tie Up Some Loose EndsBut I Thank God WeRe The Lucky Ones For We Come Just As Friends.. The Lure Of Ethiopia Has Called To Me AgainAs I Leave Behind The Emerald Isle With All ItS Wind And Rain.To Meet With Those IVe Come To Love Too Numerous To List.But Most Of All The Children ItS The Little Ones IVe Missed. If Love Was Ever Captured Through GodS Amazing GraceI Know ID Get To See It On The Smile Of Every Face.They Live Their Lives In Poverty Although Their Free From BlameBut The Joy We Find In All Of Them Puts Us All To Shame.. A Smile From Any One Of Them Could Melt The Coldest HeartBut Time Goes By So Quickly And All Too Soon We Must Depart.But When It Comes Our Time To Leave WeLl Leave Them With Our Prayerthat God Will Watch And Guard Them All And Keep Them In His Care...Amen.
