[hometext] => Iron sharpens iron, that’s for sure
[bodytext] => From opening act to finale I have adored each performance After all having a lead role boosted my spirits And it was an honor to lift the spirits of those watching all around Not to mention the Director/'/s reminder that He was pleased in my work Then came the day when an extra appeared with a speaking part I was amazed at the eloquence and sincerity with which his role was portrayed Still fulfilling my own I made the effort to observe his ways I was grateful for down time when we could discuss the Script The one we both knew so well to my amazement I inquired of the novice/'/s secret And his response was simplistic yet powerful The key is a sincere heart and focused mind The Director knows what He/'/s doing The wise novice admonished me I begged his pardon with a furrowed brow He assured me that his correction was meant to further me As an actress in this divine play The one in which the applause is of no importance And where the actor/'/s eyes belong only on the Director We both knew he had hit a weak spot in my soul I openly admitted where my eyes were for so long He placed a hand on my shoulder and told me that it was alright Now it/'/s time for you to refocus, he challenged me Just keep your gaze directed toward Jesus That way others will see Him through you And don/'/t get fixated on those that enter and exit the stage After all we/'/ll greet each other again at the Curtain Call Ready to take our place on a Heavenly Stage with God being both Director and audience of One [comments] => 1 [counter] => 101 [topic] => 46 [informant] => Deidra_Carmichael [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => didactic )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
