Short Broussard Poems

Bruise me, for I will rise stronger.
Doubt me, for I know who I am.
Curse me, for I will show you favor.
Hurt me, HE will ease the pain.
Yet
Walk with me as the roads become straight.
Believe in me, for I am part of you.
Cherish us because we are one.
Hold my hand; see no difference.

To strong to fold; never;
I have made it this far.
Too strong to fold; never; 
it has only strengthened me.
Too strong to fold; never; walk mighty.
Too strong to fold; never; I know the Way.
Too strong to fold; never,
for YOU are with me.
Too strong to fold; never
because YOU won't let me.

HE has never failed me, through all my faults.
When I heard HIS humble cries, I did not listen.
Yet, HIS love surrounded me, never letting go.
HE was there when I was lost.
HIS Voice guided me.
HE was there when I saw no end;
He made it my beginning.
HE was there when others forsaken me;
In HIS arms, I was comforted.
Never leaving me; HE is with me.
I feel HIS Might surrounding me.
Always, forever present; never failing.

Beats of Your Heart


All that you do; follow the beats of your heart; 
your beats and HIS are one.
Search for HIS truths; HE is at the end.
Listen to HIS voice, it speaks calmly, yet steadfast.
Keep HIS words, they will reassure you.
Remember HIS love, for it has saved you.
Be still in HIS Grace; it will embrace you.
Never fading, HIS promises are everlasting.
By your mouth, speak HIS Words;
for they are in your heart, every beat with HIS.
