Seashore


Serene and sparkling waters
Sand a lovely white
Shells of many kinds
Slender palms on site

Sweet and salty air
Seagulls soar up high
Sip some lemonade
Some white clouds in the sky

Slip into the shade
Such a scenic view
Sunny is the weather
Still and calm are you

See the long cruise ship
Sailing waters deep
Snap a picture then
Save that one to keep

Safe and undisturbed
Soaking in the thought
Silently considering
Such wonders God has wrought

Author's note The poems in this blog were written by my children, ages seven through fourteen. The "Why This Blog" post explains how the Lord inspired these poems in answer to a prayer during illness. I also recommend visiting my children's blog, A Brush with Life, where you will also find beautiful art they have drawn for the glory of God. You can access my complete blog directory at "Writing for the Master."  Now I'd like to ask a very important question

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
