 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

Shout for joy, O barren one,

The woman who did not bear;

Of a daughter or son,

No child can you declare.

 

Establish a joyful shout,

You who not having labor;

Allow your womb to cry out,

For informing your neighbor.

 

Children of the barren one,

Numerous to the married;

A larger tent for a son,

That you will soon be carried.

 

Stretch tent curtains further out,

Lengthen the ropes, pound stakes deep;

Calm your fears and release doubt,

To feel relaxed in your sleep.

 

You will spread out to the right,

Your children will seize nations;

Resettle after the fight,

Establish new relations.

 

Fear not and be not afraid,

You will not be put to shame;

It is God you have obeyed,

Worship and praise to proclaim.

 

No longer to be uncouth,

As you forget any shame;

Experienced from your youth,

That pride developed your fame.

 

Your husband is who made you,

Because His name is the Lord;

The Holy One remains true,

A shield not to be ignored.

 

For the Lord will call you back,

The wife feeling forsaken;

Giving the comfort that lack,

Embracing till awaken.

 

A short time God abandoned,

But having great compassion;

Knowing the stress had burdened,

In an immoral fashion.

 

For His concern like the flood,

His devotion is not gone;

But forgiveness through the blood,

Will bring on us a new dawn.
