Verse of the Day

For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

— Matthew 5:46-48

You carve and You chisel stroke and blow one piece each day as Your vision unfolds

the breath of life You give in each act as You carve and grind Your pick and Your rasp

and slowly but surely Your hand doesn't slip clear away the unneeded precise as You chip

for You patiently wait until the finishing time when the vision is complete for the polished to shine

and there in Your gallery with all You have made uniqueness yet given in this love You display

It is truly wonderful that He will complete what He has started in us. I notice that you always capitalize any references to God, but nothing else and no punctuation. Why is that? Do I have the wrong idea about this forum being to help each other write better poetry? I hope I'm not being offensive. I'm really trying to learn and I will appreciate any critique on my poems which I send in also.
