Wouldn't it be wonderful if everybody put on the armor of God and worked in unison for God. I would love to see that. Our world would be a much better place to live. Thank you for sharing this message with us.

Another moment when I stop and actually feel the words of your poem... they move through my body and mind telling me that this topsy turvy world we live in, will change when he returns and those who have placed their faith in him will find peace at last.
Smiles, Carol

One day, we who have believed will worship The Lord with all those who have accepted Him in our special home in Heaven. There will be no disagreements or points of variance; we will be of one accord.

Hi Roy,
It's sad that we have to fight. But it's because of Satan and his demons. They are our foes. And they are many. So, it's definitely not the way God wanted things to be. But Adam & Eve disobeyed in Eden. And we inherited sin. The world has been backward ever since. God had a different plan for us.
So, we are warriors today. Our best way to fight is in prayer, on our knees, in a constant battle. "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. (Ephesians 6:12)

Nicely penned, Roy! The repetition of "I SAW A PEOPLE MARCHING" is quite effective.

One spot for spelling...
"THE LOVE OF GOD THEIR MANTLE,
THEIR CLOTHING WAS (THIER) PRAISE" ... (THEIR)

Blessings,
Kimbob

Roy,

This is a beautiful poem and tells a story of faith. Hopefully, this is how it will look when Jesus returns. He needs to come soon this world is an evil place.

-Very good artwork and presentation, Roy.
-A well written poem with a good topic.
-Effective imagery rhyme, and repeating phrase.
-You do a good job describing these people
who had "a single goal" and "marched as one."
-Their beliefs in the Lord are strong "And they are guided
By Father's mighty hand!"
-Very well done.

Hi Roy,
What a wonderful use of repetition, rhyme and scripture references to get this religious poem marching on. It reminds us how lucky and interconnected believers are
to have strong faith and that this help faith spreads worldwide. This could be a modern day psalm.
Keep writing and stay healthy.
Enjoy the rest of your day.
Joan

Good morning my friend, well rather good night, hope you are well. Thank you so much for this powerful and assertive message as we walk in Christ. I can't help but think you might have posted this before, but I stand corrected.
I really needed to hear these words today. I have been battling some demands on my work as a writer.

Roy, this is one of the best things I've read by you in a while. It's as if you went away for a time then came back refreshed and with a rekindled purpose for putting poetry to paper.

"I saw a people marching" -- in the army of God, guided by his hand and spanning the globe. And you've put it in all caps, which adds power and purpose to the words.

I enjoyed reading this very much, Roy.
