Untitled Poem
**I was praying last night for the ability to cultivate my creativity in writing poetry...it's a passion of mine and a known gift...not to be boasting but I discovered the ability to write in 9th grade (aloooong time ago - LOL) and I was able to be creative in seasons of depression & anger...not until Nov '07 was I able to write something I was proud of and that was written right after I was saved, My Testimony....I prayed and this is what God woke me up with this morning.....I hope those who read it enjoy**
How can we listen to a 'good word'
and five minutes later forget what we heard?
Go back to our simple lives pretending to be
the perfect husband or perfect wife,
even just playing house, cuz 'TRUE' committment
would be too much, how can we live as such?
How can we let his word go in one ear & out the other?
In today's society, fathers and mothers up and leave
sisters and brothers, for the life of the parties and clubs
Then we sit back and wonder why kids are getting tardies
and missing school....that's not cool.....
They dont feel the love so in turn they just don't care.....
They live a life of hate and dispair...wondering what they did wrong
It's sad that all along...they only needed ONE father, God....
Can we stand up, society as a whole....love these children He has
given us and entrusted us to.....
or sit back leave and let an alterd lifestyle take control....
Many are sadly unaware of the ONE love that could turn all
that around....his unconditional love is so profound
in the hearts that follow him....
If for one second, when all hell seems to break loose,
we fall to our knees with hands held high....
to the one who's held on to us thru it all....
trust me!
This world wouldnt seem so small.....
