My God

Father I fall to my knees, I weep in agony and strife I feel the hands of death gripping me tight holding me still I dream of hope and hope to be, yet in my own memory hope is lost Lost past beyond my own reality, the angels of Heaven see my winding ways I have lost it all, my job, my car and not to mention my home I weep, I seek for aid with in my family and they know not of me Will I fall to break my spirit on the bottom where forgotten rocks lay It hurts deep down in my soul to be all alone To have no one to turn to for aid when times are trouble The pain of having your closest ones turn the knife on you when you only seek comfort My mother and father can't even see eachother yet help me? When I was but a young boy my father denied me to the world I was just some bum he helped All I wanted was a loving family, a group of love to cherish my ideas To give me warmth when I was cold blue A pair to see my dreams as gold, and help me plant the root of my future I am now 21 years old, and I go back to the streets where death lives I won't fear for my God will too be there And I will pray to my Lords will, as I shall serve to His glory Father I come upon You, as You are everywhere I confess that I am a sinner, I open my heart to you Jesus I believe that you died on the cross and made me anew I pray the Holy Spirit live inside me For always and forever in the name of my savior Lord Jesus amen

Edward, I admire your great faith. Now put it into action, dear young man. Find others who need help even more than you. You are doing it now, just replying to other poets. There may be some on here who just need a few kind words to make their day. I know life can be really hard, but we have to think outside ourselves. You are special and I am sure something good will happen for you. LUv, Andrea ps. sorry about your losses, it is heartwrenching what is going on in our great land these days!

Jesus isnt god, he was a teacher of forgiveness, listen to him. God is guiding your life, and suffering is there to teach you something. Learn from it and you become powerful. Feel your emotions, express them honestly, in your prose, it will help you get well.

A sad story, a very real one, that many can relate to. I am in a similar situation, but I am much older than you and have a few children to take care of. Hang on to your faith, don't give up the search, something will come along, have no fear, my friend! It will for me too. Thanks for sharing. Merry Christmas and to a better new year 2010! Caroline.

Poetry and Prayer. Prayer is poetry... Keep writing. You are in my prayers now Eduardo. I've been in a similar situation. Keep praying, never give up hope even if you think there is none....and ask for help everywhere you can think of...there are people and agencies who will, and can, and want to help you. If they all say no, start over and ask them all again...there is a yes there... you'll see..keep asking, keep praying and always keep writing..-- Tamra

Interesting thoughts put to pen here. I don't know what to say except that this must be a topic because you are on here so you must have a computer or at least access to one. However, there are people that are homeless with no family to turn to for help. There are government agencies that have means to help if they will just go to them. Keep the creative pen flowing. Sara
