Be nice, my wife is a wonderful lady.
THE CAPTIVE
This captive's finally been set free
No longer bound by chains of fear
Oh Lord, I sing my praise to Thee,
And no more crying will you hear.
I've been set loose from my bonds
To hold my hands up to His Grace
And gladly sing my victory song,
Instead of shame and sheer disgrace
I'll use my hands to do His Will
To keep my Masters House swept clean
No more to plunder, cheat or steal
His Master Plan, I aim to fill.
Oh yes, this captive's been set free
I feel the wonderous victory
My chains and fetters fell away
When Jesus walked up Calvary.

What an awesome poem! I would not say so if it were not true! She is very gifted and blessed by the Lord! She really should have her work published! I think it was really beautiful! May the Lord bless your dear wife, and you!

Wow, Paula...that's a blessed poem. Right from the heart of God! You need to publish it. Another idea would be to put copies in a pretty frame, and sell them at craft bazaars.
I'm serious...people need to read this. Thank you!
We have been set free! Hallelujah!

Paula, That is lovely. I agree with george that it could be made into a song.
If you have more poems perhaps you will share with us again.
BTW congratulations ! I hear you're going to be a grandma again :)
