POEM: This One is Mine [4]

About:
GOD THE SUPREME BEING

TEARS IN A BOTTLE COLLECTION
Caryl Ramsdale, American Poetess

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
HEBREWS 4:16 KJV

THIS ONE IS MINE
to Victor J. Casey

Today we call a High Priest
Pastor, Padre, Father, Friar;
God calls every one of them,
Annoints each with holy fire.
Then gives lessons in trouble
Teaching trust-mes and believe--
That blessings replace struggles--
Both help God's chosen achieve.
Once trained and grief acquainted
They can see beyond pain 'cause;
Wisdom follows tradegy
Like warm sunshine follows rain.
Hardships are the spice of life
Though most don't see it that way;
'Til they receive a God bless
For setbacks of yesterday.
Jesus watched and cried with you
Everytime you were down;
He claimed your soul when He said,
"This one is mine. He's (she's) profound."
