  I thought I would share with you one of my favorite poems! 

~Alyssa :)

 

The world, I thought, belonged to me - 

Goods, gold and people, land and sea - 

Where'er I walked beneath God's sky

In those old days my word was - "I".

Years passed; there flashed my pathway near

The fragment of a vision dear;

My former word no more sufficed,

And what I said was  - "I and Christ".

But, O, the more I looked on Him,

His glory grew, while mine grew dim.

I shrank so small. He towered so high,

All I dared say was - "Christ and I".

Years more the vision held it's place,

And looked me steadily in the face;

I speak now in a humbler tone,

And what I say is  - "Christ alone".
