Measure Me
Written by Semper Fi Reborn 9/25/07
Lord God when you measure me,
Will you find that I have fallen short?
That my talents have not multiplied,
And that I have built mine house upon sand?
Or will I measure up and stand tall?
Will my Heavenly Father say well done?
When you measure me Lord,
Please accept me as your sacrifice.
Prepared and lain in white linen,
That I may wade in Living Waters.
Eternal
Everlasting.
O' Dearest King of Creation,
Everlasting Amen, The Holy One.
You art worthy of Praise in the highest form.
Hossanah, Amen!
Measure me in a cup of your mercy.
For I am but dust in the wind.

expensive Susanna, that's the terrific poem I study Christmas. i in my opinion like the refrain: Mary held Her toddler boy.. it is so touching. somewhat by way of fact the poem is in honor of Jesus-Christ our Lord, yet in addition of mothers, retaining their kit of excitement, toddler. Bravo for this poem. sure, I eagerly settle for it as a cutting-edge for Christmas. thank you plenty! Merry Christmas to you too!

It is a breath of fresh air that I believe is Holy Spirit inspired. You are surely a man after God's own heart.

i thought it was quite good...the imagery is well done.
you need to tighten it up a bit. no, it doesn't have to rhyme. some of my favorite poetry is free verse.
you do need it to flow well though. take out any nonessential words... in the fourth verse take out and, and change mine to my. right now you have two different language types, and that will distract from the message you want to give.
if you would like any help please feel free to e-mail me.

I love it! It reminded me of the old DC Talk song: What if I Stumble"

Lovely, Semper Fi -- and don't pay attention to the comment about rhyming. NEVER worry about the rhyme. If it is meant to, it will (as you obviously are quite aware)!

Dust in the Wind. I love that song even though it's not a Christian one.
