God, I Thank Thee

I’m hiding behind the pain, Using his name in vain, Breaking divine laws but, They’re things I never believed in. Waiting on the truth, Waiting for the proof, Papers written by man and, We’re supposed to believe them? It doesn’t make any sense, This concept I cannot grasp, If it is for the greater purpose, Then why doesn’t it feel like it’s worth it? I’m living like I am incomplete, The furthest one can get from you. Every day the devil steady creeps, Hoping one day I don’t pray for you. Damn he never sleeps, Damn he only eats, Devouring the essence of my soul, Hoping one day with him I may go. But never, Never will he take me. For my savior will always be here, Watching and protecting me. God, I thank thee.

I can certainly feel the anxious thought of temptation turn to peace and assurance of faith that excitement quickly moves with expectant words of love, joy and trust that creates a thankful heart .... Awesome, a real blessing I very much enjoyed reading....

Dale Bronson - I thank you for your wonderful feedback. You definitely hit the nail on the head on what I was going for as in the feel of the word play. Please feel free to comment on my others as well. I am just starting to bring my poetry out of the shadows and could use some real criticism. I also am a recently published author with a poetry book out called The Stand.
