Who Am I

WHO AM I? Elvis and others recorded a song Asking who am I My life seemed to be all wrong I'll attempt to tell you why Am I the one who sowed wild oats And hoped my crop would fail Would the things of which I'd boldly gloat Cause me to end up in jail The sweet young hitchhiker I gave a ride To the next town up the road End up carrying an unnamed child With no one to share the load Or would she have an abortion To hide her guilt and shame What would be her portion Of having a child who had no name That is only one nightmare Believe me, there were more But somehow I just didn't care About the horrible life I bore Until one day I met the Lord In a basement on my knees Amazing Grace was the precious chord That broke sins chains from me Now I am a forgiven man Through that same amazing grace I live according to God's great plan None other can take His place I used to scoff at those Who saw through my every scam I'd laugh and just turn up my nose Til I met the Great I AM He saved me from a life of sin And now I'm heaven bound I opened my heart and let Christ in A child of The King is who I am Curtis Moorman 21 May 2017 4:30 a.m.

I have just come across your poems, and praise God for your testimony. You are a child of the King, and 'greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world'.

This is such a faithfully fulfilling poem. Thank you very much for taking the time to enjoy my writings. I am a novice when it comes to identifying what type of format they are however I am expressing myself for the first time after much bottled emotions. I appreciate the observation and your input of the Love Bird poem perception. You are quite correct and it makes me smile how right you are. I try to leave my writings as open as me. Honest. Pray you enjoy more of my writings as I enjoy yours!

Kristina, in case no one has told you, there is a section on Soup that gives the definition, meter, etc. of all the different forms of poetry. I am sure that with your great talent you will find some to your way of thinking. I'm glad you enjoy my writings. I enjoy yours and will continue to read what you post. This Georgia boy knows talent when he sees it.
