The Tears of Yours

Dear Lord, my eyes are swollen and bloodshot,
from crying over you ---
I pray all day, yet I still don't know
what I should do ---
The sky is vacant of Angels and the
sun is nowhere to be found ---
So, I pray that before I die, I will hear
Gaberiel's horn's sacred sound ---
All the gold and silver has lost
the beauty of it's gleam ---
The many stars in the heavens,
have diminished in their beam ---
So please dear Jesus, if I may ask
just one final favor? ---
That I might wash out the sins from my eyes,
with the tears of yours, my Savior.

Oh one more thing, Sheol: About this comment you made to me: (but sex (in marriage) burns off calories, lol). I have to add, "that is right, and sex outside of marriage burns even more probably because it involves actual passion. hahahaha. just joking around with ya, but sadly ,it's true!(not that little old me would know anything about THAT. Luv, Andrea

Brian did a blog today on spiritual poetry. NOrmally I don't like when a poet writes really long poetry that does not say anything new about spirituality. But THIS one is a great example of saying something in a brand new way!! REally nice, Andrea
