Believe: 1 John: Prayers and Poetry

                Believe

                Commandments in so many 

                fields stand as a weight

                and sometimes true but then we

                bruise the commandment that

                are gifts of protection

                and loving guidance.

                Given by His truth

                And love as a parent

                To beloved children as

                Soul, life protection

                Within and without

                Healing false, restoring brokenness.

Psalm 107: 23: "Those who go down to the sea in ships, Who do business on great waters;"
