Poem - Set Apart

by Trish Whelan

From a place of gratitude and praise
Is born the heart of gold
It patiently waits in the Kingdom’s rays
For the new, breaking out from the old

Chiseled and forged in a diamond fire
Glints of heaven proceed
An ever changing daily require
Brings Light, where darkness once did feed

Hope is the fuel, embers ablaze
You are the shape of new things to come
Excitement and Joy are dispelling the haze
Take your sword from the stone, victories won

I see you, where you are, my ones, I see
This walk, this life has true scars
You matter so deeply, so eternally to me
Our Love is Holy, purposefully set apart

Heed my ways, my warnings, my will
Safe within the cleft of the Rock
It is a sign to me, to wait and be still
That my Love is abounding in the flock

Profoundly unique, forged from my lips
You are on a precipice of valor
Illuminated in Love, fortified and equipped
I know a people who carry my banner

You will be mocked, disliked and left
For standing on this Kingdom sized covenant
But to be such a one, chosen for this quest
Is of abundant Life, in an eternal movement.
