Countless times she forgot
but he reminded her
that His love
is free.
Countless times she doubted
but His steadfastness
was forever
enduring.
Countless times she fell
but His right hand
propped her
upright.
Countless troubles called
but he remained
a tower of
refuge.

P.S. You are invited to our monthly blog party this weekend. It’s fun and you get to meet fantastic folks
Below is my first just published Poetry Book “Out of the silent breath” which is available on Amazon and Smashwords.
When you buy my book, you support me in an invaluable manner.
a cooking pot and twisted tales 
The lines of a song comes to mind…”Ever faithful, ever sure”.

Great words. He indeed reminds us countless times about His love, but we only forget. I noticed you have used a specific pattern …4,3,2,1 words. Is this some poetic device…just trying to learn each day 🙂

I just noticed your postscript. Will there be a communal writing thing at this weekend’s blog party? I will try to stop by on Saturday. Sunday is owned my my family. Who knows if I will get near pc let alone WP that day 🙂 They might have me flipping burgers on the grill. 🙂
