The Last Resort


I am…

The last resort for all your problems
Come to me even when all doors have closed
I shall be waiting to give you succour
Because you’ll be needing it the most

I am the force that lifts you
Give you confidence that you need
To mingle again after a heart-break
Unmindful of mine, your ego I shall feed

You only come to me when your heart’s broken
Never of your own free will, to be with me
I do my best to mend your broken heart 
As I’ve learned to be patient to a great degree

Your affection towards me is for a reason
Love, I know is not what brings you here
You pray hard I’m not aware of your designs
But I’ve known all along that which you fear

You never did know why I pursued you
Even when I know you are still playing with me
It’s because in love you’ve learned to take
And in love, I’ve learned to give you my soul with glee

This is a wonderful perspective on I AM, perhaps how it should be. After all, it is common how we call out to God when we hurt or are in need. Always show gratitude. Sage words, MB. I really enjoyed your piece! ~I Am Anaya

This is such an uplifting and inspirational poem... ! You are always there to help others though you know very well that people are coming to you not driven by love, but because they need your help. Knowing it you are out and out generous and coming to their aid. This is the best example of unselfishness. I am sure you are speaking on behalf of God. A beautiful poem.
