Gods

I made myself my god In selfishness I loved you But not how you needed to be loved Now looking back I can confidently say that I failed you Just as I failed the real God The God who is not me.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

"We all stumble many times..." Says the Bible. What's important is that we get up and move forward. Nice poem
