Dear God, I do not ask for health or wealth. People ask you so often that you can't have any left. Give me, God, what else you have. Give me what no-one else asks for. Amen. Dakota Fanning We are more than the sum of our oddities, When the body fails, so do our qualities A deep and abiding affection for life... When your stomach just won't let it. What if we lose everything we hold dear? What if we suddenly lose all we live for? Everything crumbles in your hands as burned paper... Can you wear it or stand in front of it? And fight with anger as a fuel spear. Oh, God, you are worthy of my praise! You are my precious treasure And the nectar that soothes my anxiety You are utterly reliable in every way... When passing through the squeezer You are with me... There is no way to hide no matter what Nothing more, God, I praise you You brought me back with your own touch. Ah, if we listen to our hearts and love God! We will feel refreshed and lifted This leads to ecstasy... That light from God by worshiping him. While I stroll by your river I shiver when I swallow your water I'm falling apart! What a difference love has made! And Lord, I will never hide from you. A fitter future for the hungry Expression of anhedonia and glaze Facing the light is relaxing A genuine smile can save their soul Speak and they will listen with unanimity... Swords will be besotted into the plow To grow crops and feed humanity And the poor will prosper and rise to power To do this bold radical world... What if we don't have friends? Would it be genuinely lonesome? Life will have no meaning or purpose Don't we need such close friends? No one is a lonesome ship at sea We should sustain those bonds, dear. Welcome tired hearts Abide a break for your tired feet Stop talking, sing more! Grab less, share more! More kisses, fewer kicks! Not noisy, but soft! Stop bragging, more bending! Family and peace Kindness is always free It grants us calm, for love is a blessing. Written: December 25, 2022 Priceless Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Regina McIntosh
