Olive Wambui Poet Free verse

Yako

This that I write is for all the pain I fight.
   For all the tears I cried night after night
   asking God "when is the end of this plight??"
   My sight is blind.
   Yet the end I have to find.


   This road so old is a story untold of a soul that was sold.
   The curse that it holds can break a million homes.
   So they threw it out,cast like a stone.

   All alone,beat by the cold,awaiting death's hold
   you came along...
   dressed in a white robe and a smile so broad.
   The story of the cross you told me once more...
   of the blood that still flows
    of your love that still glows.
   In your arms I flew
   and at least I FEEL HOME.

  
  Maybe I should just sing a song
  to praise Your Name on and on..
  But God I prefer this poem
  because You've shown me 
  much more than the world has ever known!

Poet Destroyer A June 3, 2016 at 11:48 PM Olive,, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you.
