Poetry

 
I Smile at the Future
 
Strength and dignity, He clothed me,
Through loving you the way He wants me.
  
 Strength and dignity, He clothed me,
Through having you beside me.
  
Strength and dignity, He clothed me,
For uniting us in His love.
 
I smile at the future
And at the thought of how He brought us.
 
I smile at the future
He has laid out before us.
 
I smile at the future
For He is with us.
 
I smile at the future
For now I share it with you.
 
He calmed my heart with so much peace;
He filled my heart with so much joy;
 
He enabled my heart to love you.
 
Proverbs 31: 25      Strength and dignity are her clothing,
                                    And she smiles at the future.

The Rain
When I hear the sound
of falling rain,
it makes my soul
dance and leap in bliss
for I know
He created it for me.
 
When I watch the rain
fall with grace,
my heart skips a beat
thinking
of His awesome love
for me.
 
When I feel a drop of rain
against my brown skin,
a calming joy explodes
within me
no reason can explain;
only He can do this.
 
I love the sound
of falling rain;
the way it makes
the trees shimmery wet;
the way it makes
the earth move with life.
 
Astounding
how God can make
such a stupendous moment.

A Prayer
 
May God embrace my heart
With His calming love;
May He sing a lullaby to my soul,
And make me sleep.
 
My heart is fraught with fear;
Overwhelmed
With so much insecurity.
Lord, only You can rescue me.
 
The pain inside me
Is more than I can bear.
It pierces through
My very being.
 
Lord, I pray all these to You. 
Hear me.
 
The stains of my past hurts;
Mistakes of my foolishness
Has brought agony to my soul.
I am effete.
 
And yet, I subsist.
And yet, I endure.
Lord, You are my only reason
For fighting, for loving, for living.
 
Lord, I surrender myself to You,
But sustain me.
Ask anything of me,
But encourage me.
 
Lord, I pray all these to You.
Hear me.

Lord, I Need Your Strength
 
Lord, I need Your strength.
My heart is broken into pieces.
I know not what to do.
Sieve my thoughts
And guide me where to go.
 
Lord, I need Your strength.
To exist is a challenge
To survive is impossible
To breathe is futile
Without You.
 
Lord, I need Your strength.
My soul is inflicted
With so much anguish.
Inundate me
With Your peace.
 
Lord, I need Your strength.
I cry out to You
With all that I am.
You are all I need;
All I want.
