Regina Mcintosh Poet Lyric

Notes About The Poem

I Am

Depression grasps hold of her heart
Joy she never will be able to impart
Her head is aching – she is breaking
Where will relief be found?
In some other town?

Wait for the words that come alive
When reading from the word that will revive
His word will lift you up
Overflow your empty cup
Take it and let it move your soul

Addiction holds his happiness down
He can only curse with a frown
His life is going worse- he is perverse
How will he ever know truth?
Is it because he is a youth?

Wait for the words that come alive
When reading from the word that will revive
His word will lift you up
Overflow your empty cup
Take it and let it move your soul

Grief has taken over their life
Their only hope is filled with strife
They feel their mind quaking
Is a heart slowly breaking?
They are shaking.

The Bible will answer their questions
It is filled with God’s blessings
For overcoming the greatest trials
And learning what brings smiles
It is a lesson on leaning on the Lamb
Jesus is always the very best I AM

Lindsay Laurie September 18, 2019 at 5:43 PM Hello Regina … addiction runs rife and ruins families, friends, and it doesn't exclude rich or poor. Nobody the world over appears to have a physical answer to it - a sad and frustrating topic Regina but very true - Lindsay

Alexis Y. September 17, 2019 at 9:35 PM Hi Regina, Good thought provoking lyrics. Over the years I've noticed most folk turn to God ( myself included) when they or in trouble or in a crisis( when they realize it) Who needs a doctor when they feel fine? Thanks for penning such lyrics:-) Alexis Regina Mcintosh September 17, 2019 at 10:30 PM Thank you so much for your comments. God is my everything... Father, Son and Holy Spirit - my life. God bless you always

Andrea Dietrich September 17, 2019 at 5:19 PM It's good you can get comfort in the Bible. I guess I just don't have what it takes to get comfort from it though I read it a few times in my life. i do believe in an afterlife and my only comfort is that when I die , things have to get better!!! this is an inspirational poem for religious people. Regina Mcintosh September 17, 2019 at 8:51 PM I don't know if I'm exactly religious... I just have complete faith in Jesus and know He is the way, the truth and the life and I love reading His word. I'll pray for your faith to grow stronger. Prayers.

Sandra Adams September 17, 2019 at 11:31 AM not everyone turns to faith when they are faced with a crisis sadly... this world has so many lost in addiction and pain that may survive if they knew how to pray... good penning my friend! Enjoyed this even in the poignancy :) hugs Regina Mcintosh September 17, 2019 at 8:51 PM Thank you so much and blessings and hugs. :)
