Poems from the heart

God has given us grace. God has enabled us to feel, to know and to write down our emotions and our thoughts in a manner that brings glory to Him. May Our Poetry Always reflect Calvary

Suddenly

You feel lost, and you feel scared.
You look for hope but you can't find it anywhere.
You once thought, that your life was great.
You realize now that you're in the wrong place.

And suddenly, life is not the same.
And suddenly, you feel out of the game
Suddenly, you're walking blindly in the night
And suddenly, you can't seem to find the light.

You have searched all your life....looking for love.
You never knew that it came from above.
Until now, when you start to see
That He is the one you'll always need.

And suddenly, life is not the same.
And suddenly, someone's taken all your shame.
Suddenly, you can finally see the light
And suddenly, you are carried out of the night.

Baby Girl Please Stay Three

Daddy and I dancing on the floor
He twirls me around and around once more
I promise him I won’t turn four
“I’ll stay three daddy, I assure you!”
Yet I could tell that you weren’t so sure

“Baby girl please stay three baby please stay three”
“But daddy I’m not sure if that’s for me.
What about sixteen and getting married?”
“Baby girl that’s why! Please stay three”
I love my daddy, but I know he loves me more
Because he was still there the day I turned four

“My baby girl is driving today” my daddy says
Horrified with this new phase
“You were supposed to stay three”
“I’m sorry daddy really!
But that wasn’t going to happen with me”

“Baby girl please stay three baby please stay three”
“But daddy I’m not sure if that’s for me.
What about sixteen and getting married?”
“Baby girl that’s why! Please stay three”
I love my daddy, but I know he loves me more
Because he was still there the day I turned four

Late nights talking on his lap
So many memories and so many laughs
We talked a lot about life and guys I liked
“Daddy you were always closest to me in reality!
But daddy here comes a guy I really like, but first, would you agree?”

“Baby girl please stay three baby please stay three”
“But daddy I’m not sure if that’s for me.
What about sixteen and getting married?”
“Baby girl that’s why! Please stay three”
I love my daddy, but I know he loves me more
Because he was still there the day I turned four

Daddy and I dancing on the floor
He twirls me around and around once more
“You promised me you wouldn’t turn four
Now my baby girl is all married”
“Oh daddy please understand
I loved you first and always have!”
“Your baby girl couldn’t stay three daddy
It just wasn’t for me
I’m passed sixteen and already married
I know why you wanted me to stay three
But I love you daddy and always will
Because you have always been there for me”

I love my daddy but I know he loves me more
Because he was still there the day I turned four

My christmas poem...


My winter poem...


Snowflakes in my hair, white snow everywhere.

It looks amazing, it makes my glad heart sing.

The white reminds me of happiness,

When Jesus took all shame and left me shameless.


The house is full of lights. Lights that shine so bright.

They shine and light the way, and make me want to stay.

The presents under the tree, they’re pretty just to see.

Some big, some small, some round, some tall.


On the table there is a manger scene.

And light from everything beams.

A humble family, a poor family.

But they have something that makes them rich.


This Christmas is one of the best.

Even though I liked the rest,

I felt so hollow, with nobody to follow.

This year I know who I truly love.


I send up a quick prayer, for people everywhere.

For those who don’t know Jesus loves.

I hope that they will turn one day,

To the one who will always stay.

Take me away













The fear is right there, making her scared.
The pain is cunning, and she can’t keep running.
The tears will not stop; she knows that she’ll drop.
The words are on her lips, and she cries.

“Take me away, from this pain.
Take me away; help me stand in the rain.
Take this away; help me know that you’ll stay.
Take all my thoughts, and all of those times I fought”

She runs to the car, and starts driving far.
She just needs to think, cuz the pains reached the brink.
She pulls over and stops, climbs out and drops.
She holds her hands up to you and asks to get through.
Then she starts to cry…

“Take me away, from this pain.
Take me away; help me stand in the rain.
Take this away; help me know that you’ll stay.
Take all my thoughts, and all of those times I fought”

The phone starts to ring, and so she gives in.
She hears the voice of her dad, asking “where have you been?”
She asked what was wrong, but already knew.
“Your mom, she just died.” And then he just cried.

“Take me away; hold out your arms.
Take me away, help me be strong.
Take all my fears, take all my tears.
Take my emptiness, and fill me please.”

She sat on the floor, and thanked God some more.
For times that he took her away, all those days.
She knew that she would need him.
She knew that she still sin.
But she also knew that he would be right there!

“You’ll never stop loving me, though I may not see.
You’ll always be my refuge, my place of solitude.
You’ll be my light, all through the night.
You’ll sweep me away on that day, and I’ll hear you say
Well done.”

Breath In Breath Out

So many things flash before my thoughts
How is it that there hasn't been much of God?
My life is a swirling circle
There doesn't seem anything worth it
That makes me want to keep on going
But how do I go through life not knowing
What's wrong and what's right?
I've got to get the things I need in sight

I do not want to keep on breathing filth instead of air
What makes me think I'm gonna make it there
Without anything to keep me going for the end
I can't even make it around the next bend
Help me see what's gotta be
The point in living giving and seeing
All that God's wanting to do through me
Keep on believing

I've been trying to keep on at it for just another day
But doesn't seem as if this momentum is gonna last anyway
Keep on breathing keep on living keep on trying to survive
My passions for what's right I've gotta revive
Help me out of this pit of mistakes
I'm wanting to go on with my life no matter what takes
I look into your eyes
I promise, no lie
I'm not gonna mess up like that one more time!

Breath in...
Breath out...
Fight the sin...
No more of this doubt
Living my life...
With God on my mind
Finally...
I have life

This Adventure Awaits
















A rippling breeze
A sunset of ease
Warmth that does not cease
What is this place?
Joy radiates off of my face
It fills my soul with excitement
This is the place where I’ve been sent

Never ending days of adventure
Filled with nights so pure
I could always be sure
That I would never have to leave
And this comfort I receive
The joy of being where I belong
My heart breaks into beautiful song

I am in the place where I always wanted to be
I am in the place I longed to see
I am finally here… I am finally free
From all the misery of my mistakes
Thinking of it all my heart wakes
I sit here completely in love
To the Home I have finally come

Words cannot describe my delight
But I will try and explain the sight
This marvelous place where all is right
The joy that fills your soul overflows
It never stops it only grows
Those perfect places you always dreamed of…
This is it… it is perfect… full of love

You breathe in and you couldn’t have drawn in a fuller breath
But the next is even more in-depth
In this place where there is no death
Your comfort never leaves
There is always something new to perceive
You never grow weak, only stronger
You days are never shortened, they only become longer

The sky above never ends
No matter how far you should ascend
There is always another bend
It goes on forever
There’s always something new to discover
Come through and enter the gate
This adventure awaits
