"The Will of God"



The will of God,
is the most important part,
of each of our lives.
It decides who we are,
how we'll live our life
and after death...who survives.

We each have our own will,
that allows us to choose,
the path our lives will take.
No matter what we decide,
every decision is our own,
even if...they're a mistake.

By giving our own will,
to our Heavenly Father
and asking His will be done.
We change our lives forever
and become with Him,
forever...as one.

I was heartbroken and devastated by this.I asked God for a sign to show me she was alright. He gave me more than I asked for. I had a vision of my wife and my grandson who had passed also, that lasted five minutes. It was so beautiful thatwords can't express how I felt.From that, I now write poetry to inspire as many hearts,minds and souls as I can with truthand love. To be written with words that all can understand. It's my thanks to God for what He did for me.I am now married to my first girl friend from jr. high,which is a blessing in itself. Learning how to use the computer for my poetry made that possible. I hadn't seen her for thirty-two years.I even proposed to her with a poem !All things Are possible with God.I more…
