Real Choices

If what God gives to us should be taken away,
Does it mean we've committed a crime?
Does it mean God's unfeeling, did we play a role
Should our love for Him turn on a dime?

Does the garden exist still where you met your love,
Might another bud blossom as fair?
If God gifted you once with a Prince of a rose,
Why not trust life, why marry despair?

Our belief in our self is the essence of wealth,
Maybe you have more lessons to learn?
Or is one answer all you can take at a time,
Don’t all poems have rhythms to burn?

If your love needs to leave you for personal growth
Might it serve you if let him go?
Is your feeling alone a real curse or just whim,
Shouldn’t Love be much more than a show?

I am wondering how you can feel you’re not loved,
If your focus is serving his joy,
For a woman who values my life like her own,
Is an angel and never a toy!

Doug Vinson March 10, 2017 at 2:46 PM Brian, a very good read here. I am quite secular but agree with some of what you say. Certainly, belief in our selves is important, and there are many good questions raised.

Brian Johnston March 10, 2017 at 10:33 AM Well thanks so much for reviewing and liking my poem. So is NSW (New South Wales ?) suggest you are Australian, a Crocodile Dundee Type? The first poem that I read of yours was "Fake me is better than real me" which invented or not I liked a lot. It was first under "Best Lewis Raynes poems." Your poem titles sound young! Is than what you meant by your comment "the class of 12/13 yo's liked your write?" (yo = year olds, I assume). I'm taking that as a compliment! Ha! More in a letter.

Lewis Raynes March 9, 2017 at 4:25 PM "It was awesome"... "it was hard and easy to understand"... "interesting".... "It attracts the reader to read more of this type of stuff".... The class of 12/13 yo's liked your write this morning. Thanks Brian.
