Poem A Better Life 2023-02-19 Matt5 Luke6
I come home from the mount, with what I felt.
Writing down notes of what the Master said.
Render me humble, with needs in my head.
Comfort comes from when humble and have knelt
Be gentle, patient, tolerant and kind.
Show true meekness and never prideful.
Seek to know more of Him it's delightful.
Mercy shown for all, a reward you'll find.
Eliminate the impure from your heart
Push out that which truly does not belong
Love everyone, in harmony lives all.
Be as the salt of the earth is a start.
Reflect covenants in my life is strong.
In darkest of places, shine my light tall.
Listen to my thoughts that lead to action
Start early, choose not to anger, nor shout
Cast it out, Pluck it out, remove it out.
watch out for this path leads to infraction.
Climbing ladder higher will make you smart
Make it holier in your head is not wrong.
Make this divine connection, you stand tall.

My ears struck by the strength of force
in his words will help me endorse.
Break undone my imperfect ways
climb, reach, rise to perfect all days.
Pure hearts not tainted nor spoiled.
Humble and righteous are employed.
Love for all no matter the ire
Take out the beam and inspire.
