About the Author

Introduction

This book is my eighth containing poems about life and also the various aspects of the human heart. The heart is misunderstood by many and yet is an intuitive and wisdom-based organ which functions as the chief administrator of mankind. Poetry is a method of communication with many various styles. The style I use is what I hear in my mind and is accentuated with both rhythm and rhyme. The style itself is only a format or a method of communicating ideas to enable the reader to understand the intended message.

Over many years, I have discovered and long believed that our primary purpose in life is to discover who we really are. We need to identify with ourselves and embark on a journey of self-discovery. As the question of who we are lingers and our curiosity continues to confront us, our need to answer this question intensifies. During my lifetime, I have learned much about the purpose and function of the human heart. Man’s understanding of the heart is limited as the human heart accomplishes much more than what is obvious. Hopefully, many of my words will provide insight into both the heart and the mind and how they function in concert to fulfill God’s will. The ideas inscribed in my many poems represent my determination and desire to connect with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ where I can find both rest and the knowledge of who I am. I believe that practice makes perfect and with patience and determination our search will lead to the treasure that confirms who we are and enables us to understand our Christian identity.

With much encouragement,

James P. Robson

Abiding Love

I came into this world

as a small and helpless child,

And soon after my birth

I was comforted and beguiled.

As I entered God’s kingdom

in my mother’s arms I was held,

She would nurture and embrace me

as her loving heart swelled.

My mother was my blessing

as I entered God’s earth,

She guarded and protected

long before she gave birth.

My mother knew her purpose

and she knew just what to do,

She was focused on God’s mission

and she would make sure that it came true.

Forever connected

my mother held me close,

Of all God’s living persons

she loved me the most!

Adapting to Change

The earth and man’s world

are at a crossroad of change,

The ways of the past are being discarded

so we must adapt and rearrange.

Rapid change is now upon us

we must accept and adapt,

Our solutions can be discovered

and our thinking must not react.

God created the heavens and the earth

to exist with continuous change,

With cycles repeating and man adjusting

to both the sunshine and the rain.

God’s creative story

has activity clearly in mind,

So man can seek and discover

the treasure God intended for him to find.

The human mind seeks relaxation

and establishes habits that cannot be maintained,

As big changes take front and center

past thinking cannot be sustained.

Adaptation requires acceptance

and acceptance is essential for an exchange,

Release from your mind past thinking

and welcome in a new world of change!

Aligning Hearts and Minds

The earth is not my destination

it’s not the place where I want to be,

I’m on a temporary assignment

in God’s school of creative majesty.

He placed me here with a purpose

so I could freely seek out and find,

The secret to the mystery

of His creative and purely loving mind.

His mind is what I’m seeking

it’s to what I intend to align,

In His image I was created

because I am the fruit of His blessed vine.

My time on earth is precious

and I must not waste a moment of my time,

I must focus and believe in His promise

our hearts beating in perfect rhythm and rhyme!
