Darren White Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Being Whole

With hands outstretched,
Lifted a small distance.
Palms to the sun, warmth
Felt, heartfelt. Eyes aimed
At the light, all seeing.
You are, embody who you
Want to be. Who you see
To be. Make your choice,
Yours to make, you see?
Whoever says you’re maimed
Fails everything, it’s etched
In your whole being:
You are who I am seeing,
Complete and whole to me.

Sara Ella April 15, 2017 at 3:05 PM I wish to frame and place your poem on a wall in a place that it can be read EVERY DAY :) A very good message you have written in beautiful form, my friend. <3 Darren White April 17, 2017 at 2:03 PM Thanks Sara <3

Anil Deo April 15, 2017 at 3:51 AM yes, we better believe it. "God is not a man that he should lie ..." NUMBERS 23:19. He loves each one of us as His masterpieces. Since humans love so selfishly, we can't begin to understand that in Jesus, we are totally accepted by God as is. Then, we start walking with Jesus (and bear FRUIT for others=testimony). He first loves us ...U are so right.U have REVELATION, amen. thanks --- healing is His children's bread. Shalom Darren White April 15, 2017 at 10:19 AM Dankie, Anil.

Doug Vinson April 13, 2017 at 9:21 PM Right on, dude. : ) The unlived life - that which we cannot yet attain - how close are we, and can we reach it? We are becoming. Darren White April 13, 2017 at 11:56 PM Hey there, Doug. We are, powerful comment, my friend :)

Anne-Marie Coreggia April 13, 2017 at 7:38 PM Darren, your wonderful poem reminded of 'The Help' when Abilene is trying to teach the little girl to be loving to all people and says; "You is smart, you is kind, you is important." You are very important my friend, and your humanity shines in you poetry:) Amitiés Darren White April 13, 2017 at 11:55 PM Anne-Marie, what wonderful words you have for me, you make me smile, thank you :)
