PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

These boarded up windows

let no light into this drearily

shabby heart that was once

a magnificent temple where

The One True Living God

was worshiped in spirit

and in truth.  And the flame

of hope was daily lit

by The Creator's own hand.

Comfort was offered by the rod

and the staff of the Great Shepherd.

But, now even joy has been banned

by the boards of sin upon the windows

that let in not light, but only shame and guilt.

Oh, Lord that Thou wouldst mercifully

rip away the boards of sin and shame

from the windows of mine heart,

and let Your light shine into my life once

again.  Lord, won't Thou replace these awful

boarded up windows?
