The Lost Birds

Shirley A Mandel
Are you hiding
your sins
from God
like nature
veiled in mystery
or birds
lost in a fallen cloud.

Then come out
of the fog,
and face the day light
of God"s mercy.

Let Him
burn away the imperfections
that hinder you
from serving Him.

He has mercy
on lost birds.

    Guilty as charged, were it not for God's grace! Good job, Shirley. I'll be taking a computer break for a couple weeks. Merry Christmas!

    Shirley,
    I do not get updates. Happy that I was checking for your inputs. Keep those coming often! True devotion, as always. How many really think of Him, in good times? Every work that we do and even every breathe that we take is a blessing from Him. He has given us the conscience to understand what is good from bad. We need not sin at all, at all!! Very touching poem, drawing all to Him. Best wishes - siva
