Welcome to My Poetry Site

For so long I had been waiting,
Beaten down by much berating.
Driven yet to do my part,
I vowed to cope and guard my heart.

I tried so hard to steel myself
So no one else could break this shell.
For if I could keep others out
Their hurtfulness could not knockout.

Waves of torment filled my soul
I felt my life out of control.
The Lord came then to comfort me
And change my thoughts to His decree.

Yet filled by Him I thought I’d be
Nothing more than a plaything.
Used by others, put to test,
Yet God would not keep this unrest.

The Lord led me to some new friends
To show His love until the End.
You mentioned tender words to me
Yet could not know how much they’d mean.

With tears I replay in my mind
How your compassion was aligned.
And somehow I may yet believe
The time will pass for me to grieve.

Soon we’ll come before His throne
Devoid of sin that He’s atoned.
No crying there shall be endured:
We all will rise to our reward.

Romans 12:10
