*** One of my Christian themed poems.*** <br /> <br />The Potter took a lump of clay and shaped it with His hands. <br />And when ‘twas finished all did say “’Tis lovelier than all.” <br />It was all smooth and beautiful, and really very perfect— <br />And all admired the Potter’s work, from the greatest to the small. <br /> <br />Then one day a Scoffer brought a lump of clay to Him. <br />He bid Him craft a piece as fine as the work He formed before. <br />The Potter examined this lump of clay, and found that it was dry. <br />The Scoffer laughed and said “You cannot craft one as before! ” <br /> <br />But the Potter took this lump of clay, though dry and hard it was, <br />And then took up a chisel, and carved a figure in the clay. <br />The Potter took the sculpture and held it before all, <br />And all did see that He had made a Masterpiece that day. <br /> <br />The Scoffer went away to sulk; the “Enemy” had won! <br />He made that sinful mass of clay into a piece of art. <br />The Potter was so full of joy—His work was a new creature. <br />Not only did He change the shape—He also changed the Heart!<br /><br />Paige Scott<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/his-masterpiece-2/
