“…precious in my sight…”

Precious in My Sight

Take it all in,

Savor the years 

Beautiful lives 

Precious gifts

Not winners or losers 

Authentic lives 

Tell the story, not optimism only

But the loss ,failure,grief and pain 

Smiles and perfection unessential

Sorrow and longing is well enough 

Fast forward, no hedge contains 

Speechless, silence, 

Truth telling ,your life

Truce of silence gone

Emotion fills you, 

“Because you are precious in My sight” (1)

This moment,No words, the grandeur

“A well-spoken word at just the right moment—golden apples in settings of silver.”(2)

A mountain high 

A wintery scene, in awe of it all as the distance clears the view

Immensity

I hear you (3)

Precious in My Sight, Glimpse poetry by Joe Holuta 

About this Poem: Precious in My Sight is about knowing we are precious to God, and He sees us and hears us in the good as well as sorrow or longing. Words spoken to us or words we speak to others can reflect immense love and just what is needed at the time. - Joe Holuta
