"The Lutheran Message" is a little magazine published in Woodbury, MN. It is provided free to Lutheran churches throughout the United States. I recently submitted a poem; they accepted it for publication (see page 9) and sent me a check. This is the first time I have been paid for a poem! I was delighted, of course, and want to share the poem with you.... and the glory belongs to God.
Self-Portrait
Falling short,
Breaking hearts,
Switching loyalties,
Agonizing resignation
Written deep inside.
Humanity struggles
Separated from creator.
Try harder!
Perfection?
Not possible,
Until I realize
The priceless gift:
Unconditional love
Through grace.
Self portrait?
Flawed and worthy.
