 Sir Ricky's Inspirational Poetry Corner

Remember my affliction,

And all of my misery;

Of immoral addiction,

Throughout my history.

 

The wormwood also the gall,

That my soul has them instill;

Makes me to stumble and fall,

Totally against my will.

 

This I recall in my mind,

Therefore I am having hope;

As I wish that I could find,

Perseverance as to cope.

 

My affliction as I roam,

As my soul sinks within me;

For I feel so far from home,

Uncertain if I will see.

 

But the mercy of the Lord,

And such a loving kindness;

That can never be ignored,

Being filled with blessedness.

 

We are not being consumed,

Since His compassion fails not;

Until the day that we are entombed,

If continued to have sought.

 

For a new dawn each morning,

As His faithfulness is great;

As we pray by adorning,

Praising Him for what each trait.

 

The Lord is sharing my soul,

Therefore my hope is in Him;

Helping me to reach my goal,

So life is not wholly grim.

 

God is good for those who wait,

To the soul that seeks the Lord;

And the day comes at the gate,

If you remain in one accord.
