T aken there by force.
P atrick tended his flock
A nd listened to the Lord.
T ime ended his bondage
R eturning as a free man.
I nspiring with stories and service,
C eltic Christians honored him,
K eeping his memory forever green.

I like it Kathryn...short but powerful!
Submitting a sample of my poetry to be considered on Christian Poet's Pen:
Transforming Power
In my weakness
I want to turn around and walk away
But by the power of the Holy Spirit
I will return to the lion’s den this day
In my flesh
I want to strike back
But under the control of the Holy Spirit
I will choose to turn the other cheek
In my sin nature
I want to tell others of the offense against me
By the transforming power of Christ within
I will instead offer a prayer for the offender
In my humanity
Tears flow as I’m surrounded by quite
From the Word planted in my heart
I’m reminded that God will wipe every tear from my eyes
In my solitude
I attempt to wrestle against the spiritual forces of darkness
When I remember I am part of the body of Christ
I reach out and ask for my day to be covered in prayer
In my self confidence
I fail to prepare for spiritual warfare
In His wisdom, power and strength
I put on the full armor of God so I can stand against the devil’s schemes
