Thy word is indeed soothing,
It nourishes my soul in times of distress
And puts a restraint on my lousy and hot tempered spirit.
Even in trying times,
I find a perfect solitude in thee.
Thy word is like a gentle breeze
Which blows a calmness on my troubled soul
How intriguing is it,that one could lose a lot in a moment of fury,
The plans of the devil is always carefully woven
And it takes a divine touch and faith
To pull through the storms of life.
My works might have been tested by fire,
In the very end, it would stand the test of time,
And something generations will always refer to.
Although, in my present pain, I feel so empty and void
But in me, flows a living spring that would never dry.
His mercies have kept me and wouldn't let go
Even as I've found peace for my soul,
I pray you find one too because,
I hold it not against you
You will be my testimony!
I wrote a hundred and twenty poems for five years, I had it in a book! I wrote more than that during this period but the 120 were mine, the ones I wrote for various newspapers were not kept. It was for the public, but these were mine! No back up or anything, and someone deliberately burned the collection! I wrote this to vent.
What do you think of it?
