Poetry

James words dance
Like the tune of the lonely yellow bird
On the thin tree in the dark forest

His smiles are true,
His face bright,
And his heart always forgiving
Though poor as a desert river
He nourished the dying to remain green

At school, he was the best
With high hopes of reaching the top fast
Never forgetting to trust God to lead
Always waiting until Heaven clears him
And all his life he has waited until God calls

When poor and ailing, he was scorned
Had peace, never resentful but always praising
The least among his mates took prizes fast
The wealth of this world became theirs
But God always make miracles when the last grain is eaten

His life became a shallow water about to die
One without worldly example to show for the Grace
He cried ‘O Lord I am poor’
‘My son, your glories are beyond this world’, God returned

From within the spaces of this world
Seye was watching the poor but happy man
Above the burning earth
Janet was praying to have his type of peace
The rich Jovita wished she could be free from her fears
Hundreds prayed for James’ peace

James what makes you happy?
My life is in God, I have no loss
Please lead me to God, the lost asked James

Lord Jesus
Give me the humility to accept your Grace
And to know that nothing here will last
Help me realize that the soul you gave me
Is worth more than this world
Help me resist the enemy
Save me today
And let me remain in your love
Amen

James arose a prosperous man
God made him go through it all
To show his rich friends
That the things of this world bring no happiness
But Christ in us



P.S.
Sometimes we go through difficult times because God wants to use our life to bring lost people (who naturally would not have accepted Christ by the conventional way of evangelizing) to Him.
