"A New Perspective" poem

Entry Specifics

I wouldn't describe myself as a poetry lover, but I recently read this simple poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning and enjoyed the direct message.  Perhaps it's not the most sophisticated poem or a literary work of genius, but the message communicates in a pleasant rhythm that I thought was worth sharing.

A New Perspective
Elizabeth Barrett Browning

Those little cares that fretted me,
I lost them yesterday
Among the fields above the sea,
Among the winds at play;
Among the lowing of the herds,
The rustling of the trees,
Among the singing of the birds,
the humming of the bees.

The foolish fears of what may happen,
I cast them all away
Among the clover-scented grass,
Among the new-mown hay;
Among the husking of the corn
Where drowsy poppies nod,
Where ill thoughts die and good are born,
Out in the fields of God.

The Myth of "Easy" // 3/15/12

Let us instead make choices informed by God, backed by believing and carried out in persistence.

A Reliable Foundation for Faith // 2/4/12

We can have unwavering conviction in things not yet seen which God has promised.
