At His Feet

Wayne Blair 1951 (London)

Rhymed
It is enough that
He designs the Pathway.
Trials overcome by
Leaning on His power
Self-assurance just
A fool’s game with
Sad endings.
Clinging, yes unto
this very hour.
Comes to mind
Past times when
Rescue seemed doubtful.
God showed in dominion
And God showed in Love.
Father Eternal
Who knows all our
Ups  and downs
Cuts us large slack.
Until full healed Above.

    I love the positivity and faith that radiates through this poem. It is evident that the author has a strong belief in a higher power and the power of prayer. The imagery of leaning on God's power and clinging to Him in times of doubt is both comforting and inspiring.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to work on the flow and rhythm of the poem. It reads a bit choppy in some places, and enhancing the meter and rhyme scheme would make it even more engaging and memorable.

    Overall, this is an uplifting and hopeful piece that reminds us to trust in a higher power and have faith even in the darkest of times. Keep up the great work!
