~WHAT'S THE POINT~
Poetress2 Apr 2019
I don't want to get out of bed,
I have no reason at all;
I'd rather lay here, all day long,
basking within these four walls.
~
Nothing seems to interest me,
I'm much too sad to enjoy;
And everything I use to love,
I now can't find any joy.
~
Everything seems quite useless,
a darkness wells up in me;
I can not find a glimpse of hope,
"Oh please everyone, let me be!"
~
But they harp upon my sadness,
I'm ready to just give up;
What is the point of living,
when I've taken far too much?

-HEAVEN SENT-
Poetress2 May 2019
Enveloped within the Womb,
the Fetus
***** her thumb;
Unaware that very soon,
her life will come undone.
-
Her mother doesn't want her,
or believes that she's alive;
All that she believes in,
are Satan's filthy lies.
-
This Fetus has ten fingers,
and ten l'il toes;
Her mother's deep, blue eyes,
and daddy's botton nose.
-
Her eyelashes  are black,
as is the hair on her head;
It is not her own fault,
that mommy wants her dead.
-
And so walks in the Doctor,
scalpel in his hand;
He digs around within the Womb,
Mother's little plan.
-
Now when the scalpel meets her arms,
it slices the right one off;
Through all the pain this Fetus feels,
this child is thinking, "STOP!"
-
It slices and dices this Fetus up,
until there is nothing left;
Then Jesus takes her by the hand,
this one who was Heaven sent.

~HAVE I TOLD YOU~
Poetress2 Dec 2018
Have I told you that I love you,
and you mean the world to me;
Have I told you that I trust you,
and in you I do believe?
~
Have I told you that I'll stand,
forever by your side;
Have I told you that I need you,
and you fill my heart with pride?
~
Have I told you that I cherish you,
in everything you do;
Have I told you that I want you,
no other man will do?
~
Have I told you that I see,
love within your eyes;
Have I told you that our future,
consist of you and I?

~HIS LOVE~
Poetress2 Dec 2018
When I first came to the Lord,
I had so much to learn;
My heart was overjoyed,
my mind, oh how it yearned.
~
I spoke to God quite often,
and listened with intent;
At all He had to tell me,
my Soul was quite content.
~
My love continued to grow,
as I spent more time with Him;
He saved me from myself,
He saved me from my sins.
~
The more I learned about Him,
the more my faith did grow;
The more in which I learned,
the less I didn't know.
~
Now He walks beside me,
He'll never let me go;
I am shielded by His love,
a love I've never known.

~GLORIOUS DAY~
Poetress2 Dec 2018
When my Father calls me home,
what a wonderous day t'will be;
Fellowshiping with the Saints,
and sitting on God's knee.
~
I'll talk with those of old,
Abraham, Isaac, and Job;
And I can visit God,
upon His mighty Throne.
~
I'll be seated for a Feast,
where the other Saints will dine;
We'll sit and eat together,
they'll be no sense of time.
~
Peace will overcome me,
I'll praise my God each day;
I'll soar just like an Eagle,
and land where e'er I may.
~
I know Jesus will hold me,
I'm the Apple of His eye;
What a glorious day t'will be,
when I meet Him in the sky.

~HE~
Poetress2 Dec 2018
He gives me comfort,
His love is unique;
And when I thirst,
He gives me Drink.
~
He holds my hand,
He gives me peace;
And from my storms,
He shelters me.
~
He helps me stand,
His arms outreached;
And when I cry,
He cradles me.
~
He helps me walk,
He lifts me up;
And for my Soul,
He drank His cup.
~
He died for me,
upon a Cross;
His death for me,
was worth the cost.

~I'M HIS~
Poetress2 Apr 2019
As I wander aimlessly,
within this life I know;
I wonder if the dreams I have,
will truly ever grow.
~
It seems so easy for me,
to stray from God's own plan;
For me to have a life, fulfilled,
at times I think I can't.
~
I am a Christian, bought by Christ,
and still it makes no sense;
That I commit sins everyday,
of this I've no defense.
~
Somedays I feel unsaved and lost,
though I know this can't be true;
For Jesus lives inside of me,
His Spirit is my proof.

~THE TRAGEDY OF BULLYING~
Poetress2 Mar 2019
She walks to grade school,
sack lunch in her hand;
Dressed in old, tattered clothes,
that a Flea Market had.
~
She hangs her head low,
don't want them to see;
The bruise 'neath her eye,
which is now blue and green.
~
Her shoes do not fit,
they're too large for her feet;
So she stumbles along,
then falls to her feet.
~
Since her lunch yesterday,
she's had nothing to eat;
She sheds a small tear,
which runs down her cheek.
~
Children pass by her,
they point as they laugh;
And under her breath,
she lets out a gasp.
~
She despises those bullies,
for the things that they do;
So she quickly runs home,
grabs a gun from Dad's room.
~
She rushes to school,
she'll make them all pay;
So she guns down nine children,
uncontained is her rage.
~
A teacher subdues her,
wrestles her to the ground;
Her killing spree's over,
yet she makes not a sound.
~
Nine children lay dead,
everyone is in shock;
They all learned a lesson,
No one's to be mocked!

~AN ANGEL~
Poetress2 Jan 2019
I met an old man,
at the park yesterday;
Although he was quiet,
he had much to say.
~
I sat down beside him,
this one with no coat;
My heart, truly touched,
as he shook in the cold.
~
He appeared to be hungry,
it was simply a hunch;
For he watched me intently,
as I ate my sack lunch.
~
I held out my sandwich,
to offer him some;
His reply was, "No thank you,
I've more than enough."
~
I was puzzled at first,
so I asked what he meant;
"Everything that I have,
has been Heaven sent.
~
I gave my own lunch,
to a poor, hungry child;
And the look on her face,
put on mine a huge smile.
~
I watched a young man,
shake in the cold;
So I gladly gave him,
my warm, winters' coat.
~
To a family of five,
who had not a home;
I was able to bless them,
when I gave them my own."
~
I sat in still wonderment,
on that icy, park bench;
As I then understood,
what at first he had meant.
~
I then realized,
this man I just met;
Was full of God's love,
was truly God sent.

~THE BIRTH~
Poetress2 Jan 2019
A woman on a Donkey,
her Husband by her side;
Would soon bare a son,
who would one day save their lives.
~
They entered a small town,
seeking shelter at an Inn;
Yet there wasn't any room,
for this Babe who'd forgive sins.
~
The labor pains grew worse,
then the ones she'd felt before;
To a Manger they were led,
where she gave birth on the floor.
~
They gazed upon their child,
wrapped in swaddling clothes;
They knew He was the Christ,
for an Angel told them so.
~
God became a man,
the moment Christ was born;
What a blessed day that was,
what a glorious, new Morn.
~
His parents loved this child,
they did the best they could;
They watched Him as He played,
they watched Him nailed to wood.
~
They saw Him in the Manger,
they saw Him on that tree;
They both lived for their Son,
He lived to set them free.

~WHAT EASTER STANDS FOR~
Poetress2 Apr 2019
Upon this Easter morning,
celebrate what it stands for;
Jesus rose up from the dead,
the Grave held Him no more.
~
The Devil watched the Tomb,
where Jesus' body was kept;
The first two nights he gloated,
sure of Jesus' death.
~
But when the third day came,
Satan knew Jesus arose;
He shook in utter terror,
from his head down to his toes.
~
Jesus was the Conquerer,
and Satan lost that day;
So please remember Easter,
and keep it in its' way.

Poetress2 Apr 2019
You walk through our front door,
and I rush to greet you there;
You hold my body tightly,

~
You softly whisper to me,
words I long to hear;
Your breath is soft and sweet,
as it's pressed against my ear.
~
I gaze into your big, brown eyes,
the most beautiful I've seen;
Within I see our future,
staring back at me.
~
You take me by the hand,
to the Fireplace we go;
Where you kiss my tender lips,
so soft, and sweet, and slow.
~
When you hold me close,
I  don't want it to end;
You are my all and everything,
my life, my love, my friend.

-THE LETTER-
Poetress2 Dec 2019
I checked my mail, the other day;
And I found a letter,
from far away.
-
My Heavenly Father,
from up above;
Sent it to this Sinner,
of whom He loves.
-
"Dear Child,
I'm writing this to you,
in hopes that you'll be writing soon;
I wanted to tell you,
so many things;
And my love for you,
will endure anything.
-
I wish you wouldn't, worry so much,
about your Salvation, your fears and such.
-
Just lay your problems,
at my feet;
I'll gladly take them,
to set you free.
-
Before I close,
I want to say;
Come to me,
when e'er you stray.
-
Now set aside,
your worries and doubts;
For that is what,
I'm all about."

-AM I IN HELL-
Poetress2 May 2019
Inside I'm curled up in a ball,
afraid to stand for I might fall;
I tell my feelings to no one,
it's hard for me to just feel loved.
-
No one seems to understand,
no one's there to lift a hand;
I yearn to laugh,
I long to smile;
I guess I'm much to evil and vile.
-

So here I stay,
in my man-made shell,
is there any way that I'm in Hell;
In here I feel both safe and sound,
even when my teardrops hit the ground.

~SHE ENDURED~
Poetress2 Apr 2019
They never want anything from her,
until they come to her door;
And when they leave, her tender heart bleeds,
for there's nothing they want, once more.
~
Even though she is young, she remembers,
the shame and guilt they have brought;
She blames herself for their mistakes,
and she wishes that she were not.
~
Each night since she can remember,
their nightly ritual's go on;
They climb in bed beside her,
she wonders what she's done wrong.
~
With roaming hands, they touch her,
in places that make her feel weak;
She utters not a single word,
she can't find the words to speak.
~
They continue to touch this child,
she endures this in heartache and pain;
"Adult Games," they call their playtime;
as the child lies there in shame.
~
And when at last they're finished,
they leave her alone in the night;
She doesn't know what just happened,
she just ***** her thumb as she cries.

-SHE FElT DIRTY-
Poetress2 May 2019
She scrubs her olive skin,
until it starts to bleed;
She collapses in the shower,
and begins to scrub her knees.
-
No matter the time it takes,
or the Brillo Pads she's used;
She never felt quite clean enough,
just ***** and abused.
-
Her nightmare had began,
earlier that day;
When the Bug Man came on in,
and he began to spray.
-
He layed down his equipment,
and began to talk to her;
Before she even knew it,
he was ripping off her shirt.
-
She could not move an inch,
consumed with shame and fear;
When he ripped off her blue jeans,
her eyes broke out in tears.
-
When he was finished with her,
and the **** came to an end;
He packed up all his gear,
and out the door he went.
-
She sat in utter schock,
all she felt was shame;
Because she let him in,
was she the one to blame?

-
Your wisdom is so vast,
your knowledge stretches on;
I come to you for strength,
you'll never steer me wrong.
-
You've done so much for me,
I cherish the time we spend;
I call you, "My special daddy,"
you are my very best friend.

I know deep in your heart,
I'm forever your little girl.

All throughout my darkest night,
shadows seem to come to life;
Closets house such ghastly things,
I see them in my every dream.
-
Demons gloat with every tear,
as they feed upon my hidden fears;
I shut my eyes with all my might,
as I have done throughout my nights.
-
The things of which I've seen and heard,
can't be described with just one word;
I can not take this very much more,
as howls cry out behind the door.

Please bless the children,

Those who have warm beds,
those who sleep on the floor;
Those who receive attention,
those who are ignored.
~
Those who have full tummies,
those who hunger inside;
Those who know what love is,
those who are denied.
~
Those who laugh and play,
those who never smile;
Those who have sweet dreams,
those who's dreams defile.
~
Those with lots of love,
those who never feel;
Those who are quite healthy,
those who are quite ill.

Bless the little children,
where ever they may be;
Bless the little children,
bless them, if you please.

~SHE LACKED THE STRENGTH~
Poetress2 Apr 2019
He had lied, deceived, and cheated,
used mind games to make her stay;
She'd slowly died, deep down inside,
yet she could not get away.
~
He played the "Blame Game" often,
yet he never took the fall;
He claimed she was the problem,
everything was all her fault.
~
So she tried her best each morning,
to hide the tears that she shed;
They were room mates in their home,
and strangers in their own bed.
~
He no longer loved this woman,
and she did not love him back;
She saw no sense in staying,
so she slowly began to pack.
~
No trust or communication,
excisted anymore;
She wondered if she left him,
would he hear her shut the door?
~
Yet she was much too weak,
to go out on her own;
She lacked the strength, that it would take,
to leave her unhappy home.

I fear that if I tell you,
you'll turn and run away.

For when I am without you,

I'll make you eat your words;
Don't tell me that you dare me,

Don't tell me I'm a loser,
when I have known success;
Don't tell me I'm a quitter,
when I've seen you quit yourself.
~
Don't tell me I'm a liar,
when all I say is true;
Don't tell me that I'm hopeless,
when I hope good things for you.

Don't tell me God has left me,

Don't say a single word,
'til you've walked in both my shoes.

for I lost something you've never had,

~THE CRUCIFICTION~
Poetress2 Apr 2019
The crowd became more chaotic,
many shouts were quite obscene;
I'd like to paint a picture,
of the Crucifiction scene.
~
On the top of a steep hill,
was a place called Calvary;
There stood three wooden Crosses,
with Jesus in between.
~
Just imagine, if you will,
the pain that Christ endured;
He was bleeding most profusely,
it was dripping onto the dirt.
~
His flesh, it hung in ribbons,
from His body, they did beat;
They drove two nails into His hands,
and one into His feet.
~
His unsightly beard had been pulled,
He'd been cursed and spat upon;
He endured this for all of Mankind,
this One who had done nothing wrong.
~
Could I endure the pain He felt,
could I gladly lay down my life;
Only one man could have done all this,
and His name is Jesus Christ!
CRUCIFICTION, JESUS, BEAT, PAIN, SAVE

If I had known the future,

If I had known the heartaches,
which many times I've faced;
I'd run and hide, deep down inside,
in a place that's sound and safe.
~
If I'd have known what love is,
I may have loved much more;
But I didn't know, how to let it show,
never knowing what love is for.

If I were but a child again,
and attention I  yearned to seek;
I may have become, much different than some,
but all I became was me.

Overcome with tragedy,

All I've known is sadness,

I knew who I should call,
to help in my dismay;
I called out to my Jesus,
and He had this to say.
~
"Dear, sweet child of mine,
do not be dismayed;
Lay your burdens on me,
each one I'll gladly take.
~
And when I see you crying,
I'll dry the tears you shed;
I never will forsake you,
you're one of my dear friends.
~
If you should lose your way,
I'll guide you with my love;
Lost you'll never be,
I'll be watching from above.
~
God cares for you so much,
He sent His only Son;
Salvation I did offer,
to you and everyone.
~
People laughed at me,
just as they do to you;
I loved them anyway,
and forgave all they did do.
~
So do not be afraid,
for I have been there too;
People turned away from me,
they simply had no clue.
~
So go to sleep my dearest,
wipe all your fears away;
Tomorrow will be better,
just trust in what I say."

with her head hung low;
A bruise has formed,
'neath her high, cheek bone.
~
She's been beaten again,
from her head to her toes;
T'is a nightly ritual,
in her small, shabby home.
~
A sack lunch she carries,
she's not eaten in days;
Her coat, much too large,
is beginning to fade.
~
The children all stare,
and giggle at her;
It is all her fault,
of this she is sure.
~
She turns around quickly,
and heads straight for home;
She runs through the door,
once again all alone.
~
She eats her sack lunch,
what a welcome delight;
Her heart has been shattered,
and so this child cries.

~HE LIVES~
Poetress2 Dec 2018
The Devil and his Demons,
were having a party one night;
They were smoking cheap cigars,
and drinking lots of wine.
~
In festive celebration,
of the death of Jesus Christ;
Satan leaned his head back,
laughing with delight.
~
He said to all his Demons,
"We will ne'er worry again;
He'll no longer buffet us,
or remind us of our sins.
~
Evil we'll continue,
he can't stand in our way;
He is gone forever,
oh what a blessed day.
~
Yet little did they know,
that Christ would soon return;
In all His splendid glory,
for the entire world.
~
Satan trembled at this truth,
he thought he'd won for sure;
The party was then over,
a lesson was then learned.
~
Do not mess with God,
you'll never, ever win;
For He is truly powerful,
forgiving men their sins.

-I'M NEEDED-
Poetress2 Dec 2019
These four walls,
can't hold me back;
For it's not courage,
that I lack.
-
I stay because,
I'm needed here;
I always want,
them to be near.
-
And though I'm needed, everyday;
I need them too,
in my own way.

-HE'S ALL I NEED-
Poetress2 Jul 2019
When the Sun goes down,
at the end of the day;
I think about,
how much I've strayed.
-
I ask God's forgiveness,
for all of my sins;
And at times I don't know,
just where to begin.
-
God's Grace is sufficient,
to bare all my pain;
And to ease my heart,
in my sorrow and shame.
-
He reaches down,
puts my feet on the
floor;
How could I ask,
for anything more?

-HOW-
Poetress2 Aug 2019
How do I move a Mountain, when I can't even budge a Tree?
-
How do I stay afloat, when I can't even swim?
-
How do I tame a Lion,
when my own Dog bites?
-
How do I mend,
when I'm broken inside?
-
How do I dream, when I can't even sleep?
-
How do I love,
when my heart has been torn from my chest?
