Poem

Sam had an assignment to write a poem last week. He was given the first two words of each line and then a short instruction on what to write. The instructions were very open and did not mention spiritual things. He also had a sample, written by a girl and mentioning unicorns and such. Here is his poem:

I am the one who wants to paint and a Christian too,
I wonder what its like to paint a masterpiece for Him to glorify his name
I hear His thanks and abounding love
I see Him saving me
I am the one who wants to paint and a Christian too.

I pretend to meet Him face to face
I feel his grace on me
I touch the holes in his hands
And I worry about his lost sheep
I cry for those who will never hear His name
I am the one who wants to paint and a Christian too.

I understand that I may change the world
I say that anyone can do so
I dream of judgment day
I try to make an effort to change someone’s life
I hope that this will come true for
I am the one who wants to paint and a Christian too.
