Poetry

THANK YOU GOD
Thank you for being here
To wipe away my tears
For being the light under the feet
Of a world lost of love

You've saved my life
My soul and my purpose strong
A moment like this
Should be savored in bliss

Now I scream the words -

Crazy is your love for me
I'm crazy in love with you
And now with all my heart I sing
Thank you God
Thank you God
Thank you God, I sing -
For everything you've done for me.

A NEW WORLD TO SEE

Clouds so white, soft like cotton candy

The beach so warm, bright, and sandy

The meadow beyond, so lush with green

Such beauty as this; here only seen.

In the distance lay mountains, covered in blankets of mist

Beds of roses, so red – blush like they have been kissed

This day so lazy, but not quite mellow

The sky – sombre with grey, but the daisies; still vibrant yellow.

People of the city, come, there is a new world to see

Surely the life you’re living is not quite what you thought it would be

For if it were, your home would last more than a mere fifty years

And the end of a day’s work wouldn’t leave you in tears.

Surely your lust for lights will dim in time

As well as the thriving of your city’s sleepless crime

When will this world of endless days come to its end?

The angel will come, and your world’s arrogance will forever descend.

So people of the city, come, there is a new world to see

But it will only live up to your high standards if you so let it be.

This world of grace, a mystery to your mind

Leave it alone for this is the only of its kind.

This world – sleepless like yours –only makes a peep

The only pools to swim in are the rivers and lakes deep.

The only towers you will see are the great trees, mighty tall

And they will stand longer years after your skyscrapers fall.

Come people of the city! Come step into this life!

Leave behind the evils of your world, your ego and your strife.

Bring your love and care – tools for your new home

And use them well, to tend to your greening garden’s growth.

DISAPPOINTMENT
Disappointment
In it's purity
Is the worst
Of all the worst
States I have been in

MY PRAYER
Outside
There's nowhere that I can run to or hide
But inside
There is someone that I can confide in
It's Jesus, it's Jesus
Jesus inside of me
Says, "Don't worry,
I am here with you"

Lord give me strength
When I am weak
And feed my faith
When I am in fear
Give me comfort
When I am in pain
Lord show me the way
When I get lost again

Fill my heart with your love
When loss is all I've gained
And when I refuse to make a sacrifice for loved ones
Help me make that change

IT'S YOU JESUS
If I could choose
Who would save my life
If now was the time,
Which soldier would come tonight?
A handsome prince,
or a noble knight?
Oh I'd know who would come,
It's you,
Jesus
