Our Gentle God
Droplets from Life
I share this poem with a grateful heart. It was written by my sister, now living with her God in Eternal Gentleness. May it bless you, as it blesses me. Christine.

He is a gentle God:
the heartbeat of a universe.
Alive in singing curves of morning sun
and whisperings of magnolia leaves
as flowers reach to drink
sun-glistening raindrops
fresh-fallen from His cloud's rich arc;
His finger delicates the violin
and mellow-strings the cello:
His hand caresses fragrant violet
into the rainbow's arch:
A God of dawns and dews that dance
alight with birdsong:
A God of towering
gentleness.
For in the midday heat
His strength shades over me:
In mighty storm
He hides me
in His cliff's deep cleft.
And when day dies
He'll gentle me
in loving glory
into His eternity of moonlit wind
and soaring singing stars:
Fragrance beyond violets
Music beyond the cello
Strength beyond the mighty rock......
Heartbeat of my universe:
gentle
is my God.
