Thus... I am... | Poem by Celia Elliott

THUS… I AM…

I AM…
Dwelling in Peace and Faith,
And deep Devotion;
Lifting my thoughts
Above the daily-grind,
Feeling The Tide
Of Love’s Amazing Ocean
Seeking to shed The Chains of Self,
That bind.
I Am…
Reaching towards The Light,
That leads me… ever,
Treading The Path,
With Reverence and Care,
Pursuing, with joyful heart,
Each new endeavour,
Mindful that I must always be
AWARE.
I AM…
Striving, to never stray
From my direction,
Seeking The Loving Hand
That points the Way.
Reaching… with all my heart,
Towards Perfection,
Mindful that Life’s no Game,
For fools to play.
I AM…
Aware that The Path grows, daily
Hard and narrow,
Aware of the weight…
But needing to go on;
No greater, to God,
Than the lowly, earthly sparrow,
Than man, in his thoughtlessness,
Sheds scorn upon,
I AM…
Facing my tests, with Hope,
And understanding,
But a Child of The Light,
In the stumbling human-race,
Finding the Answers… slowly,
With faith expanding,
Giving…
But seeking naught, but Holy Grace.
I AM…
Heading The Voice,
That guides me from transgressions,
Obedient…
Tho’ others bid my footsteps stray,
Offering God
My silent, True Confession,
Whenever a doubtful Thought
Stands in my way.
I AM…
Wending my way,
Accepting pain and sorrow,
Learning to live… not foolishly,
But wise,
Sometimes uncertain,
As I face Tomorrow,
But, praying that I am worthy…
In His Eyes.
I AM…
Step-by-step, in Patience,
Ever striving,
Living in Truth…
Identifying Sham,
In Humility… slowly, but happily,
Arriving,
Walking The Silent Path to God…
I AM.
