I Have Delighted Poem by Adeline Foster
I Have Delighted
I Have Delighted
There is no real pleasure in principles lost;
There is no real pleasure in sin.
If I believe that One looks down
And sees my every care,
Then that One too must look and frown
On sins that I would dare.
One cannot have his hopes both ways;
One goal must constant reign.
Should I determine to arrange
My future in Your hands,
One inadvertent lapse will change
That knowledge in my plans.
Oh, dying human that I am,
If only bones and flesh and skin
Then poor I am of all the reams
Who ever walked the earth,
But I am made of tears and dreams-
They are my greater worth.
O You, who see by dark of night
As clearly as by day,
Whose Knowledge sees through thickest walls
And knows full well the heart of me,
You who hear the weakest calls,
From secret sins pronounce me free.
Oh, dying human that I am, If only bones and flesh and skin Then poor I am of all the reams Who ever walked the earth, But I am made of tears and dreams- They are my greater worth. Oh, Greatness, your poem scribbled deep on the clouds of my vision. Yes we have a conscience, tears and dreams. Wonderful poem, thank you!
It is a poem- prayer! ! ! the best kind of poem for me! thank you! You who hear the weakest calls, From secret sins pronounce me free.
Dearest Adeline, your poem flows with deep compassion and adoration for Him, who cares for us all. Thank you for you thoughtful comment. Go with God and be blessed. Alice
A very wise and interesting poem, But I am made of tears and dreams, loved it.
it is in the knowledge of our own darkness that we find the beginning of light!
