Peace/Joy/Mercy/Bliss/Love. Poem by dave lessard

Peace, just like a river
flows gently through my soul
from the Gentle Giver
who now, has made me whole.

Joy, just like a flower
is a blossom full of love
from perfume wafted down
by my great God above.

Mercy, like a fountain
slakes from me my thirst
grace, just like a mountain
puts His commandments first.

Bliss is knowing knowledge
from the wisdom of His Word
things I never learned in college
from the truths I never heard.

Love's the grand conclusion
in a world that's always reeling
God's not the author of confusion
or, a momentary feeling.
