More Precious than Silver or Gold
By Tara L. Ulrich
Glassy blue water
Still as the night
Hues of golden rays
Covering the island
On this sweet summer night
God’s master hand
Is evident.
A spotlight
Over the single cross
Planted years ago
On that island
This shining light
A reminder of all
Christ has done for us.
A peace forever
Settles over me;
A peace
That fills my soul.
I breathe in.
I breathe out.
An exhale captured
In the peacefulness
Of this place;
A golden ray of God’s goodness
Found on the shores of Lake Sakakawea.
A golden ray
Where lives are
Continually touched and changed
As God reminds those who enter here
Of their own worth;
That they are more precious
Than silver or gold.
Linking up with Kelly and the RaRa linkup, Jennifer and Tell His Story, Holley and Coffee for your Heart, and Kristin and Porch Stories!
Beautiful! I love how light (and the Light) changes things (and people). May God’s light reflect off you and color your world with peace and love.
Me too! And yes!
Beautiful poem! Thank you for sharing, we’re neighbors today on #RaRaLinkup.

Oh, what a beautiful poem. I am thrilled that I have found a fellow poet! Dropping by to say “Howdy” from Coffee for Your Heart w/Holly Gerth
Thank You! Glad you stopped by to say howdy.
Poet extraordinaire.

Beautiful! I felt like I was right there with you on the lake. Water is one of the places where I love to connect to God. Lakes are so serene and calm, reminding me of His vast love for us. Thank you for linking at Holley Gerth’s place!
Thanks! I’m glad it transported to the lake with me.
