Don'T Lose Faith

Raise me up to His healing stream 
Don’t adhere to crazy-chaotic Calamity, my dear
Make believe is a dreary, dragging dream
Thrive to survive, my darling, and have no fear…

God is here 
Christ will rise 
I will be there for you as well 
Just close your eyes
I saw you talking to your peers 
Christ has sacrifice himself for our sins to the remarkably marvelous core
God will remember your sins no more…we won’t be mad or sad anymore

It appears that you’re doing a lot better than I thought
I want to taste your angelic, luscious lips on my own 
I haven’t got to say goodbye, yet you are in my mind lot…a whole lot..
I need your beauty and knowledge or I’ll be left alone

I know I've  affected myself 
With my moody, strange behavior
Left alone in the left shelf
I’m a survivor, but Christ and our Father is our savior 

I am predicting a dilemma that will never happen
But, God and Jesus know where I have been…
You and I shouldn’t act like losers, playing the victim by telling scornful lies 
I still believe we are divine, spiritual winners in God's gracious, majestic eyes

And they know my every sin over and over again; I embrace the grace of winning first place in life's rough race – I need to keep pace, so slow down and let me solemnly gaze 

Christ will return, but I am left with just paper and pen…so I use my nearly-cemented ink to write the question: When will Christ return and God's Kingdom going to take place? I’m stuck in a phase and my conscience needs some positive praise 

Accidentally, I slightly struggle with jealousy and comparing and contrasting…I see the cons and pros in life and I know the difference far more than I ever did before honestly

Enough about me – please give me a reason to not waste away today because you have a far more adequate and a very efficient future than me…

Don’t lose faith, hon
Don’t lose faith
Don’t…don’t lose faith 
I don’t doubt that you have it within you

I doubt I’ll be as intelligent and silly 
as you,
But you haven’t a clue what I've been through 
Only thing I will change about myself - ah, that is truly new 
I won't repeat the ridiculous things I do in front of you

Please don’t be so sentimental and I’m sorry that I wasn’t courteous of your sereneless sensitivity 

Please don’t tell me the past because you almost hit my soft spot…let’s all move forward possibly

I will be your dawn when it’s dusk outside
I will always be your stars in the midnight sky 
You are the moon of mesmerizing and motivated meanderings 
The shadows of the deep forest is where I hide
The wilderness and desert left me feeling dry
Be a champion, yes you! Try with your might and be a light of the world all the time
Don’t get me all tied up in your web of confusion all over again
Be a fighter for peace – don’t demoralize the Word, which is spiritually a remedy and oh so sublime

Be an intricate, delicate, and a brazen scorpion…and then –
I noticed that you were caught up in a façade-like figment…I won’t discourage you or build up resentment within me 

Did you even know my perilous, yet harmless illusion that I have kept inside for years? 
I feel like I remain stagnant sometimes or even every year frankly 

That's strange enough 
This is why you're overwhelmed and anxious 
Listen closely - life's rough
I get it completely, but quit your shenatagins and its bothersome ruckus 

Oh my dear, have some cheer...I don't mean to interfere and it's clear to me that you don't want me near 
Be of good cheer and courage
Don’t be such a cowardly deer
It’s all gutter water below the Lord's Refuge bridge...

Let me silently ascend beyond and above 
So, let me see what you see...once again 
Let me descend down and under, my love
I won't just give up on you there and then

Hi JW, "Don't lose Faith." I like the title, there are so many different types of Faith. Faith shall always be my rock. Some people might think this to be an overlong poem but I don't mind the length, as my poetry can be thought to be overlong. Strong words my friend. Creative on the theme. have a wonderful friday. Your friend....Mike.
