Hi Robin
It is so good to read your work again. I really like this one with its inspirational message.
I cannot find much to nit here, it's very well written. Just a couple of thoughts;-I've never seen an angel's toe
laced in
a golden thong.
I keep wanting to add 'a' before thong, it might work as a subsitution.
eg
LACED in a GOLDen THONGBut I have seen the devil's hand
in every deed that's wrong.
Where is the harp, the flute, and fife
to play me through this silent life?
If only God would breathe in me
a deeper faith to set me free,
I'd drop my burdens gratefully
convinced of shores I can not see.
I think I agree with Karen about 'convinced' and like her suggestion for replacement.
Another thought would be :
exploring shores I cannot see
Lovely thoughts
