Pondering At Sunrise – A Christian Poem On the Beauty of Nature
Pondering At Sunrise – A Christian Poem on the Beauty of Nature I look out into the morning sky, Waiting for the curtain of night to lift, And the same questions I’ve sought answers To for ages keep rolling through my head: Why can’t I accept grace as a gift And not as a reward…

Shine Your Light – A Christian Poem
