The Glow

Rowine Conley

I went walking in the spirit
Hoping to cleanse my soul
I was running for a lifetime
Trying to reach my goal
I stood talking to the preacher
Wishing he'd pray for me
I sat list'ning to a guru
He told me let it be
Still I'm searching for an answer
All day at every hour
And I'm lookin' for a reason
Wond'ring 'bout the power
Now I'm asking you a question
Does anybody know
How I'm living for the feeling
Of God's eternal glow

Rowine Conley

Writing is not something I do--it's something I am. I have been a wordsmith since before I could write. I have now written 2 novels, 6 children's books, several short stories, and boxes full of poetry. I am now disabled but I still have a day job. I have 7 sisters, a dog and 2 cats (one has only 3 legs), A daughter, numerous "God-daughters", A son, and a few "God-sons". I am Extremely Biblical though I don't really follow organized religion. God is my life and I have truly been blessed-For God By God...Peace Out__Gypsy Row more…
