"Out of doubt, out of dark to the day's rising,
I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing.
To hope's end I rode and to heart's breaking:
Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall!"

lovleyIt seems that purple
lovely
It seems that purple cows
Are on every person's sig.
But I refuse to join the game
Oh wait, I already did!
A good reminder
It's a good reminder of how God's word counturs Satan's lies...but maybe it should be classified as a poem.

Haha, yeah, technically it
Haha, yeah, technically it could be posted as a poem, but somehow when I wrote it it just didn't strike me that way.
Thanks everyone for your lovely comments. :)

You did an amazing job,
You did an amazing job, Mames, putting this together. It took a lot of thought. The part that jumped out most to me was:
loved by none…
“I have loved you.”
John 13:34
suffocating in my sin…
“Because I live, you will also live.”
John 14:18
I'm sure different parts of the poem will touch people in different ways! I feel like it needs to be posted on some bulletin board in a super market, for people to see. :D :D

Awesome job, Mamie. It turned out wonderfully!
