Some profess they can't hear God,
that He's not there at all;
Perhaps they're much too busy,
to hear Him when He calls?
~
Others claim God's never been,
and the Bible's full of flaws;
That man evolved from Apes because,
our hands look like their paws.
~
Still some doubt He doth ecxist,
that He's just a Fairytale;
They even doubt and disbelieve,
that there's such a place as Hell.
~
I once was just like all of them,
so blinded to the truth;
I chose to live in darkness,
always searching for some proof.
~
Then one day, some troubles came,
thus I cried out for some help;
Although my pleas were genuine,
I was only afraid for myself.
~
I decided to reach out to God,
so I knelt down on my knees;
Asking Him if He was real,
needing so much to believe.
~
Then I heard a still, small voice,
gently calling out to me;
I listened quite intently,
wondering who it could be.
~
"My child, you still have doubts,
of the things you cannot see;
Just trust that I'm the great, "I AM,"
on this you must believe.
~
All that you have been through,
I've also been there too;
Mistrust, betrayal, and cruelty,
I've felt them just like you.
~
I breathed in you the breath of life,
and watched you as you grew;
I long for you to believe in Me,
as I have believed in you!"
~
I sat in awesome wonderment,
not sure of what to say;
So I simply asked Him in my heart,
to become my Savior that day.
~
Then a peace I've ne'er felt before,
flooded my heart and soul;
My doubts and worries went away,
knowing God was in control.
~
Now I believe and have no doubts,
when I witness for my Lord;
I tell everyone what He can do,
as I go from door to door.

You were in a different world for a long time
You were in a different life for a long time
You still are
You always will be
But yet you came back
You reached for my hand
You reached for my mind again
Wanting to see my thoughts
To find any way to fix my bad cracks
To let me fix yours
We talked
And talked, talked, and talked
Smiled, made me laugh
Called me cute names
Made me feel special again
Turned my tears into laughs
But suddenly you disappear
You go back to your own world
Leaving me on my own
When I needed you the most

I was a dandelion
In a field of Daisies,
Waiting for you
To come along
And make a wish
Out of me
happy world poetry day!

Thank you God for blessings
And your loving tender care
For everything you give me
And your love with me you share

Thank you for the hardship
And the suffering I endure
The trials and tribulation
You'll pull me through for sure

No matter what tomorrow holds
Good or bad or sad
I know that you will be there
Like a true and loving dad

Through my fears and darkest times
Through suffering and through pain
You wipe away my every tear
You take away my shame

My tears before where very tough
With many ups and downs
But at my weakest moments
You took away my frown

You always walked beside me
No matter where I went
And when I wondered and got lost
Your Holy Spirit you sent

Your love for me is endless
With good plans for me I'm sure
You have it all worked out my Lord
It's love it's kind its pure


I am so very weak you know
And you so very strong
And yet you take the time and care
To forgive me for my wrong

You polish me and neaten me
And cleanse me from within
You make me bright and shiny
And wash me from my sin

I could never find a friend like you
Someone so dear and loving
That to the cross did go for me
And freed me from my sinning

I love you Lord and Saviour
My father and my friend
My Gracious God Almighty
My king until the end

He sees right through me to who I am
Yet He loves me with all my faults as I am
He cries for me when I sit quietly alone
As I sob for broken hearts and a faraway home

When things aint worked out quiet as planned
He sent Jesus my saviour and my Lord the Lamb
To fix up my mess ups and plans that’s gone bad
He lifts up my spirit and blesses me when I’m sad

He feels my frustration and takes me by the hand
And shows me tomorrow won’t be so gloomy and bland
When all has gone wrong and all else fails
I know my Lord is mighty and above all He hails

If I stand back and let him take lead of my life
All will be over from worry to strife
When I rejoice and jump with glee
I know my Lord is smiling with me

At the darkest moment of my life
My Lord my God was by my side
He strengthened me and held me tight
And lifted me high with all his might

In times of pain and suffering
God’s love and mercy was undying
He feels my pains and agonies
And carries them along with me

Because my Saviours time is Right
I’ll keep on going with all my might
With Jesus in me I have the fight
To make it through each and every night

The road I've travelled thus up to now
I've made it through only Jesus knows how
It’s been a journey of endless fights
But Jesus raised me to new levels and heights

All though the laughter I've had lots
Sometimes happiness came at a cost
My pride and dignity I sometimes lost
But I clung to Jesus for all it cost

I sit right now and wonder how
I’ll make it through another hour
As I lay here full of fear
My operations very near

I pray to Jesus to comfort me
He whispers softly you will see
That through it all and from now on
All your pain and suffering is gone

From here on out and ever more
My loving healing on you ill pour
I’ll stay with you and keep you strong
I do not care however long

Until that day you know will come
And you will have to leave your home
But fear not dear
For ill be near

Right next to you
To take you through
From this here place of misery
To what you know is your destiny

Your home up yonder where I do dwell
To be with loved ones and have peace as well
Where all your hurt and worries fade
It’s a perfect home for you I made

You delivered my last wake up call  
Pressing your mouth on mine ringing me
to pick up a call from this ****** world
With that I sensed a cold breath of air running down my throat forcing me to grasp for air

But I remember jumping
I jumped for a reason
I wanted to drown in this vast sea
To have my last taste be of salt
But you pulled me up and handed me air
The last connection to my life line

Hesitantly I grabbed the gold plated phone
Opened my eyes and saw a bright red color
The color that defined you
I answered the phone on a storm less sailboat
And took my last chance at this very sad life
Suicide attempts

If Jesus comes back ;
we’ll probably crawl to his sandals
and weep , “Where have you been ? Why haven’t you come for us ?”
That is , if we don’t **** him on sight .
I feel so alone right now
I look through my empty eyes
Just clinging to anything, anyone
I'm so tired, the pull is getting stronger
Sleep is useless, I dream no more

I'm being pulled into The Black Hole
I can feel that familiar emptiness
It's here, I don't want to fight anymore
I can feel It surrounding me

I'm inside looking out at life
Do I want to give up my life
Should I call out to others for help
Can I reach out with my hands

Maybe I'm too deep by now
Maybe I'll turn away and just fall
Do I really believe anyone cares
I can't decide, it's too much

I can see people I used to call friends
Maybe if I jump, I can grab the edge
Then I call out to anyone at this time
You heard my cry and turned to me

You reached out your loving hands
You took hold of mine, I felt different
The Black Hole didn't want me to go
I wrapped my hands around yours

You pulled, It pulled back with force
I was starting back up to the light
I looked up into your pools of life
I could see unrequited love there to

My heart and soul were overflowing
I could feel the grip of The Black Hole
This time, I chose to fight for my life
You pulled and I kicked free

At first, I felt very vulnerable
You wrapped me in Your arms
There are no words but I hear you
I feel and hear you in my soul

My depression blinded me from You
I was so wracked with my own issues
I forgot to look for a reason to pray
I forgot Your promise to all of us

Your promise to always walk with us
Your promise to always listen to us
Your promise to always care for us
All we need to do is to be humble and Pray and You will forever be there

When you feel like you have no one
When you feel like your life has let you Down and you can see It coming
Turn away, clear your thoughts
Humble yourself, get down on your Knees and pray

If we don't ask for what we need
With your voice, God loves to hear us  
He can't help unless you give your     Whole heart and soul and trust Him

He has promised to help us fulfill our Lives when you believe in Him
Jesus Christ is our only way to eternal Life, to be with God and your family

Jesus Christ pulled me from my Black Hole, my life is not perfect, I still live With problems in my normal life
The difference is I added Jesus Christ And God         I Believe      I have Faith

she spent her entire
life chasing diamonds
only to realize
that her greatest
treasure was always beside her
whispering in her ear
"you're more precious than all the riches of this world."
