What went through your mind, oh Wondrous Creator
When as baby Jesus you let out your first cry
Did you know at that moment you were the Savior
Of this fallen world and all of mankind

Did you recognize your mother Mary
And see her as Your special child
Only you God at such tender a moment
Could give us your all at such tender a time

Did your first sight at creation astound you
As you looked through the blur of finite
From the beginning you'd always seen clearly
In the presence of your Fathers light

Did the warmth of God's Spirit surround you
As the December chill settled over the land
Were you holding the hand of the Father
In the transition from Son of God to Son of man

When you heard the first bleat of the lambs
Were your thoughts on being the shepherd of man
That would lead all those gone astray
Did you already know of that day

These are questions that I tend to ponder
On the greatest gift the world's ever known
I will praise you for all of the wonder
The first Christmas that your love, my Savior was born

Right here right now I'll speak the truth
That I love me and you love you
Though we both know that it should be
I love you and you love me

As selfish as this all may sound
There's so much of it that goes around
If I don't love me then who will
I'm the only one that fits the bill

What we say and what we do
Is not so much the hidden truth
It's easy to be apart of the group
Of I love me and you love you

I'm sure it comes as no surprise
The way we feel in our own eyes
No need to look around and see
I only want what's best for me

It's in the nature of this man
To want to be the main event
Yet still there's hope one day we'll see
That I love you and you love me

You used to be a part of me
Now all I do is make believe
What friends are left, now all they see
Is how my life is incomplete

I went ahead and changed my name
To Incomplete as of late
At any given time of day
That's the statement that I make

Through all intents and purposes
I'll make it through the worst of this
Remembering our relationship
And all that I poured into it

Now as Mr. Incomplete
I walk alone along these city streets
Remembering the better half of me
And how it all used to be

Things have never been the same
Since with your help I changed my name
Want you to know it's not to late
To change it back if you'll just say

But as it is in all of this
I'm living out my emptiness
All of this came more or less
On the day that you left

You made me out to who I am
That, no more than half a man
Mr. Incomplete is where I stand
Known far and wide throughout the land

Received my copy of Timothy's first book of poetry today (Reflections in Short Poetry) and am already thoroughly enjoying it! There's nothing like having pages to turn...
It's pictured in my cover photo and can be purchased from lulu.com.
Thank you to Timothy for this wonderful book!

Walk away from Self-destructive behavior.
Keep reminding yourself that you have self-worth.
For with the right attitude and Christ help doing it.
You could so easily be the miracle in others lives.
Self-Worth seeing the truth that you are not junk.
That with the help of the Living Savior at your side.
You can allow him to become the difference in other lives.
For we as people can not change our lives or others.
But with the Help of Christ we can become world-changers.

... when you have to
have a dictionary to
read poetry...

... and you are still
not understanding!
