Poem Title:
Poem
You asked me important questions yesterday And wanted me to answer them in December; But I’ve offered to answer you this very day, Before the end of the month of September. Hope my honest answers will make your day As you prepare to walk through November. “What makes you always happy and ever strong? Even when like tilapia you’re thrown in deep sea? Though you can’t swim, you sing a favorite song! What indeed changes your agony into glee? What calms you down amid a hostile throng? Why are you positive like an evergreen tree? “You do not seem to fear summer or severe winter The winds may blow like death across your soul; Unfairness may rain on you like the el-nino rains; And thrust you down; almost fainting to the floor; But you bounce right back to the top of mountains Are you made of sponge that absorbs every blow?” Well, well, listen to me O friend of my heart I am not an angel but a mortal human being, Just like any other person, I feel pain and I do hurt. I have tons of tears to shed but also a song to sing; I can agonize as I carefully organize a music concert And on rough days my rare favorite songs I sing. You want to know the reason why I keep positive? Positive because I’ve got an altogether positive Savior. When the tempest raged, the sea became negative, It was deadly dark and the fog didn’t want to clear— For even the skies were gloomy and utterly negative. But Jesus; my positive Savior took away my fear! Through the pain, I have learned to love Him more. Now I know His voice better; twice He spoke to me; I know His footsteps in battle; thrice He went before He gives me joy and peace and hope—at stormy sea. Yes, I am only human but my Savior is in control. That’s why I’m happy-all my being goes aglow.
