Timothy Mcguire Poet Rhyme

What I Was

It’s not what I was but what I have become,
It’s where I’m going, not where I’m from.
No longer a self centered fool,
But a desire to be God’s tool.

Gone is the jealousy, lust and hate,
Now I’m full of love, can you relate?
No longer an angry beast,
I want to be humble, and the very least.

A heart can change, it can be,
God can give us a new identity.
If we turn our hearts over to the Lord,
And have faith in God’s word.

What I was has gone away,
This new creature in God is here to stay.
Come now and join me,
And find out how happy you can be.

Your poetry is very touching. Timothy Mcguire May 15, 2018 at 4:24 PM Thank you....i sincerely hope something I write will help someone else.
