Lord--I Have a Request

"LORD ~ I Have A Request"


              ~ LORD ~ 
I needn't tell YOU
  what's happening these days.
This beautiful world YOU created 
   is hurting in so many ways!

The ugliness of violence and hate,
    more and more is raising it's head.
Instead of moving towards Peace and Love
    more darkness is being spread!

What will it take to have people know
     that Love can conquer all?
Are YOU actually considering another flood
     of forty days and nights of rainfall???

Before YOU do 
      I beseech this of YOU,
please give your children another chance,
      to change our ways  
towards peace-filled days,
      and end this hate-filled advance!

I know I shouldn't put it this way
       but LORD  
I hate all the hate!!!
       In trying to maintain a heart of Love,
I refuse to let the hate dominate!!!

Love can actually change this world
       and do it one heart at a time!
               ~ LORD ~ 
Please enter and touch EVERY heart,
        that's the request of this rhyme!!!

James Tate Date: 10/3/2016 5:27:00 PM Walter I found this interesting poem where you have a request to the Lord. Nice job. With all the hate it's good to see your statement about love changing the world. We are close to other momentus events with far-reaching consequences. I explore some of this in my book "I go to Prepare a Place." Keep up the good writing, Walter. Login to Reply

Holly Bohto Date: 8/15/2016 1:07:00 PM The rainbow is the contract between God and man that he will not flood again. But he has other elements at his disposal. At some point God is going to shut the door on mercy and forgiveness and all those who had time to repent are going to realize there time wasn't well spent. Then they will be dead with no recollection or written in the book of life's ressurection. You can't save those who won't save themselves. Nice write WTA. Login to Reply

John Hamilton Date: 8/3/2016 8:41:00 PM Very touching request, and that's why he hasn't brought the end yet, he wants all to understand and change their ways, but stubborn humans will be disappointed when that day comes. 2Peter3:9 Excellent write! Login to Reply
