Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy...Hebrews 4:16

My throne of grace
Today is upon our place.
The old wheel barrow,
Is a chair of peril
If it tips upside down
To break my crown;
Landing on my face.
Alas, this royal throne
Did not roll away
Out of Place,
To fancy flights unknown;
It gave me grace
And mercy to stay
Secure and safe,
Without a broken bone.

Poetry by me AJP

    Queen Andrea on her autumnal throne! Unlike the paintings of Elizabeth I, et al., she looks happy!

    So well done Andrea, lovely poem too! I would love to see the Queen sitting in that wheelbarrow, it would make my year:)

    Thanks to all...LOL Christopher, I doubt the Queen would ever be so foolish as to sit in a wheel barrow...She would have a little more sense. It would make a funny picture:)

    great idea, thinking out of the box. Who would think that a wheel barrow could be converted into a seat. Cool.
