ABCB Quatrains

As time progressed the babe formed
and heaven rejoiced at the reborn
no more death but much progress left
between the flesh and spirit torn.

The babe ate Word bit by bit
And an ancient enemy fumed at the sight
A war unseen could shake the bravest soul
Christ the only solution to this plight.

Little by little the babe grew
But slower than hoped
As test and trials broke the yoke
Of sins generations prior eloped.

The toddler took tests
And kept failing
Yet God so merciful and just
Sent mercy and grace unending.

The enemy presumptuously rejoiced in victory
And expected the toddler to die
But the toddler ate the Word in tears
And it to life began to apply.

The child learned victory in weakness
And on God leaned evermore
The enemy aghast at the beggar's heart
In which Christ continued to pour.

The teenager's fight grew more complex
Emotions competed with Truth
But God in His unfailing kindness and love
Taught faith in troubled youth.

As a young adult forgiveness
Seemed yet an incredible feat
Yet by God's Holy Spirit
provided victories so sweet.

Finally, the adult grew strong
And wisely leaned on God as a child
God meant all for good all this time 
Now more reborn and reconciled.
