I'M More Than That

This is all I am to you;
A girl child in need,
Sad and lonely seeking for comfort,
Bored and depressed waiting for company;
Poor and helpless searching for help,
Heart broken looking out for love,
Sick and weak trying to find a cure,
Soft and fragile and can be used at any time;
Quick to forgive and can be hurt as many times as possible
Kind and patient enough to tolerate all your nonsense;
Guilty over my innocence beseeching justice.

That is all I am to you,
But am I not more than that?
Is that all you see in me?
When you reassess me,
In and out,now and then,
Find more value in me,
That makes you say,
You love me.

Indeed it's a sad world my friend, only the spirit of Christ within shall bring peace,love,and joy within, when you have this treasure, this foolishness of this world is seen a people rejecting Christ, we seek throughout this earth for happiness, love , joy ,peace,. And it's only when we give up and allow Christ to reign within we want nothing more of this world but to escape,May God bless, comfort, guide and fill you with His peace, love and joy in abundance
