The Ashes Of Life  (page 46)

To me this is a very touching poem.  Heartfelt for sure.  When I think of ashes I think of something damaged and ruined.  Fire will damage something beyond recognition. In the poem it speaks of how God took these ashes from my life and caressed them with His tears.  Why would God have tears for my life's ashes?  Because I was created to be more than a conqueror as stated in the Bible, the Book of Romans 8:37.  See, the last stanza of the poem says it best;

I lifted my eyes to Heaven,

and thanked the Father above,

for through the ashes of my life,

He created beauty, all because of His love.
