Real Poem: By Charity Christy

Battles

by Charity Christy

When one thinks of battles

They don’t always find happiness.

Theres always pain and heartache

That never seems endless.

The battles going on in my life

Aren’t those of far away…

Instead they are more painful

And make up their minds to stay.

I often ask “How”…Battles

“How do I escape?”

There seems to be no light

Even though there’s a huge gape!

Are there answers?

Should I reach out…

Or will I be pushed?

Can there be a reason not to shout?!

The questions come…

Where do I start?

Will I understand these voices…

From these battles of the heart?!

CC 11/24/03


This poem is somewhat old but I like it. Reading it brings me backdown to earth to remember where I’ve been and to be thankful for the changes that have happened. Charity

Real Poetry: I Don’t Understand

“I don’t understand”

By Ashley PhillipsI just don’t understand how you can walk away.
After knowing all the things He planned for you today,
And not just today but everyday you’re alive.
I just don’t understand…

I still don’t understand why you want to run away,
From the God of grace and mercy; who runs after you today.
How after spending so much time chasing after God,
You could turn and walk away and not even care.
I still don’t understand….

Real Poetry: Thank you

THANK YOU

by Charity Christy

 

 

 

I was once asked,

“What would you say to Jesus

If you could say one thing?”

Thoughts came but not with a fuss.

Real Poetry: Letting You Take Command


Letting You Take Command
by Hannah-Liz

Sometimes, Lord, in You it seems
Hard to put my trust,
But to my heart You whisper that
I must.
You tell me that my life I have to
Place in Your hands,
To step down from the rank of captain
And let You take command. (more…)

Real Poem: Letting You Take Command


Letting You Take Command
by Hannah-Liz

Sometimes, Lord, in You it seems
Hard to put my trust,
But to my heart You whisper that
I must.
You tell me that my life I have to
Place in Your hands,
To step down from the rank of captain
And let You take command.

For me to move over to the passenger
Seat and let You steer,
But for some reason I can’t seem to
Trust, for some reason I fear.
I seem to have forgotten all You’ve done
For me in the past,
You’ve helped me before when I put
My trust in You at last.

So why is it so hard for me to have
Faith in You now?
I want to trust You but I need You to
Help me remember how.
In You, God, help me to place my
Trust and hope,
Trusting You’ll help me with the problems
That I can’t cope.

Help me to trust You as captain
Over me,
Help me to trust You to guide me
Through the stormy seas.
And I pray that next time my trust
Won’t begin to fade,
But that I’ll trust You that You’ll
Come to my aid.

Real Poem: My friend

My Friend by Brooke Gidden

people change
often
I’ve found
friends
they come and they go

there are those you constantly fight with
the ones you constantly laugh with
and then the ones that you do neither with
the ones that are just friends

but then theres a kind of friend
that no matter what the situation is
they are there if you are sad
and you see them you suddenly smile (more…)
