The Power of Water- Word Count 192

My writing for 1/17/08
I have decided to start to try some poetry.  I really do not know too much about
Poetry.  I tried to join a poetry club and boy was that out of my league.  They
were doing many different types of poetry that I found so confusing, I could not
even attempt such intricate forms of poetry.  So her is a try.  See how you like it.
I try to write from the heart and this is based on Water and it’s relationship to us
Spiritually as was a contest suggestion.

                                      The Power of Water

Like the thirst that can only be quenched by water, is my love for you oh Lord.

Like a sponge, I soak up your greatness.
Like a sponge, I sprinkle your kindness to those you send my way.

Full, I have the power of a river.
Empty, I am as weak as a dripping sink.

Water is ever depleting, forever evaporating.  Our Soul in constant need of refilling.
Only through You can I find this precious replacement.

In You, I find peace at the rivers edge.
When all is weary, I drink from You and I am new again.
