Sounding the Bell

Sounding the Bell

A Poem by Melinda McQueen

Sounding the Bell

 

It’s time to wake up

O sleeper, time to shake up.

A little less stress,

A little more kindness.

 

Why not care enough
To never give up?

When seeing a need,

Sounding the bell with speed.

 

A call for peace,

A cry for relief.

Less killing,

More kneeling.

 

Ever on the lookout

For a lion waiting to pounce

Seeking out the lost,

Sounding the bell at all cost.

 

If the head must bow,

Let it be in prayer now.

For it is time to change

Life as we know it today.

 

Love will always win,

For even evil bows to it in the end.

Love never fails…

Sounding the bell.

On our knees is the best place to be full of strength and power in prayer- every knee shall now and every tongue proclaim..the horn has been blown, the line drawn, Time is now.. lovely words🌹

I like to think love will always win out. It is the only thing that we lay claim to that distinguishes us at all

You are welcome nice to meet you
I agree dear Melinda
"Love will always win,
For even evil bows to it in the end.
Love never fails…
Sounding the bell."
It is time for the all of us to stand as one. The world need the caress of Jesus love and forgiveness. Too much sadness in our world. A needed poem my friend.

I'm praying for our world. Too much hate and not enough concern, kindness and love.
i like the positive tone of the poem, the optimism displayed, the hope that love can conquer all
