Short Rewrote Poems

Tattered pages lay 
yellowed by years aging 
waiting to be touched and rewrote
to become the perfect poem...

I was probably written in another language 
So I rewrote myself in every possible way 
You still couldn't quite grasp the meaning 
You tossed me on the ground 
Bending my beautiful pages 
Hurting my delicate spine...

The stories flowed but were not heard.
The language strange from foreign word.
You keep working through day and night.
You spread that which is out of sight.
Chapters released for hungry minds.
Chapters' tales this reader finds.
Translated and rewrote each word,
so story's meaning is transferred....

Some Storks and Froggies
Decided to play
One night by the light of the moon

But the tail of their game
Was much too profane
And besides 
It ended too soon

It’s for your best
Storks would say
Please see things our way
Just trust us
And you will do well

But the rules they rewrote
And the frogs lost the vote
And with frog
Stork bellies did swell...

Rewrote that note a thousand times,
Every time I go to send it,  I crumble and hide,
Intimidation shatters it's heartfelt purpose,
Knowing judgemental eyes will scan it and use it,
The embarrassment that means nothing to you,
I've allowed you to ridicule and abuse,
In hopes one day you will see,
I'm not just a message, or your prodigy,
Love will stand a distance, until the day,
You can take seriously the words that I say.........

I lift my hands to 
give you glory
No one deserves
this honor
It was Christ who
rewrote my story
He took my shame
and he gave me
a new name
On the cross he took
the penalty for sin he
did not owe
He endured the 
shame
With no regrets
as he hung on the
cross taking his
last breath
but that not the
end of the story
Christ arose again
With honor and 
glory to give us the
perfect ending to
Our everlasting story...
