2 Short Poems: Displaying My Love for God

To Be Loved By You:
     I don't know where I would be without you. I tell myself I don't deserve you. Your love consumes me and makes me want to please you and no matter how bad I've treated you--
-When I cursed you
-When I cheated spending time with you
-When I even tried to go on without you
     You still remain unchanged and love me for who I am.
Nothing like the love of God.

Stop Playing Yourself:
     You wish upon a star for something you want most
     You wish upon an eyelash for something you can boast
     A flick of a coin in a pond for something you hold dear
     And don't step on the crack or a visit to the chiropractor for your mother will be near

     Good luck should be yours if you gather little trinkets
     And don't split that pole or let a black cat walk in front of you, you may think it
     Forward that text message and that email
     Its a crazy thought but yet you do it without fail

     You put faith in it.
     You drag in hope.
     You put your heart in it.
     A positive outcome will be yours you know...

     Well...STOP!

     The best positive outcome is God!
     The one who can give it all is God!
     The one who can provide simply because He wants to?
     The one who can provide simply because He loves you?
     
     GOD!!

     No false hope.
     No broken promises.
     Just His word.
     Which can be relied on!!

     Love.
     Mercy.
     Forgiveness.
     Grace.

Joy, Love, and Passion

Time is moving faster than I care to admit but I'm joyful.

I look at how far I've come in so little time but I compare my strides to my peers and it seems my strides are not long enough yet, still I am joyful.

I never thought my life could be filled with such love and passion.

The greatness of my worth is not yet recognized, but I'm joyful.

I don't long for things I cannot have or purchase things I know in the long run I won't be able to afford, but I am joyful.

My life is filled with such love and passion.

My joy and my blessings overcome my shortcomings and disarm my lacks.

I feel what I know I want and dream a great dream. I see these dreams as windows to my future. A future so great that it gives me joy. A joy so great that a trip or a short fall means nothing because I know my misstep or accidental folly is temporary. My joy knows no such failure. My God knows no such defeat.

I've seen the life I'm meant to lead and joyfully I will go to it. My great and wondrous future. A life filled with joy, love, and passion.
