Jerry T Curtis Poet Lyric

My Song

I know that the Lord, has good things set for me
I just have to stand in this line
I wish I had'em now, but in time I'm sure I'll see
That everything for me, will be just fine

But I dare not close one eye 
No, I dare not even blink
'Cause things will move much faster than I think
I want to catch it, I want to be it
I want to be there just to see it
When the Good Lord looks at me
and gives a wink

I want to show I'm grateful, for all he's done for me
But I'm always looking for another feat 
To save me from that something, that hasn't happened yet
Several times, He had to sit me, on my seat

He tells me not to worry, but yet I worry still
A condition, I know I have to change
I know what ever happens, it has to be His will
Therefore, I really can't complain

But the Devil's on my trail,
He's nipping at my heels
and it seems that I'm always on the edge
He's got me running
He's got me fleeing
"till that Great, Almighty Being
plucks my worthless mortal soul, right off the ledge


Sorry---Got to run......again !

Emile Pinet April 1, 2015 at 9:24 AM This is a beautiful poem that is so innocent in its statement and delivery that it calms the heart. Emile. Jerry T Curtis April 1, 2015 at 8:12 PM Thank you Emile, you're to kind

Cona Adams April 1, 2015 at 8:03 AM Nice write, Jerry. I love your playful view of God. I have come to the conclusion that He has a great sense of humor, and the picture of Him winking at you and plucking you off a ledge definitely fits His playful side. Jerry T Curtis April 1, 2015 at 8:14 PM Since we are made in his image, I am sure, there are times, we give him a big belly laugh. Thank you so much Cona.
