The Day We Become One

Love  is something  that's  hard to  explain. 
You  may feel  overjoyed  and dance  in the rain. 
Love  may bring  tears  that  often come with  pain. 
Your lifelong  partner  can drive  you insane! 
Real  love goes much  deeper than  pretty  brown eyes, 
We are  often  fooled by people  and lies. 
I grow to love you more with each passing day.
The demons in my past are surely fading away. 
I now have a  love  who is my best friend, 
I know  this  love is real.  I don't  have to  pretend. 
We reach out to  each other  by simply  holding  one's hand. 
Look what  God has done! Let's make  footprints
 in the sand. 
Today, you become my husband  and I am now your wife. 
I will always be grateful God placed you into my life.
We are no longer  two  people  but are now  one. 
We both  remember how this all begun. 
As we exchange rings and seal it with a  kiss, 
Had we not found each other look what we would have missed!

I love you Scott Bridges

Special thanks to cdff for ur Christian dating service

Dear Lost Parents

It's  been 16 years since you've last seen me.  Now I am 17 and I feel sad.  
That's  only because you made me so mad. 
I often  thought  I was a mistake.  God made me  and now I must die.  
Just  please  now,  try not to cry. 
Mom I know  that you "had me" and dad helped too,  and I know  I'll  regret this  but  I hate both of you.  You left me.  Both of you. 
Now as I'm writing I hope you  understand,  mom you're  not a  mother.  And dad,  how  can you call yourself a man?  
I love you both  because now I can see,  I wasn't the mistak! You were!  
I now have a family.  They loved me.  Why couldn't you?  
Why did you hate me?  What did I do?  
Because  mom,  dad,  remember,  I wasn't  even  two

Until We Meet Again

I know you are sad that I am no longer there. 
I'm in the presents of God. No need to despair. 
This place beautiful unlike anything I've ever seen.
Not one soul here who Jesus hasn't made clean. 
No trash to pick up around these pearly streets of gold
I see the garden nearby just like the bible had told.
When I want something to eat I just pull it off the vine.
No need to prick my finger. I'm healed. Heaven is devine!!
I am no longer thirsty as my cup is overfilled.
I can now see the river. Oh how I am thrilled!!
The sky is so blue yet it's not overly bright.
Oh, by the way, did I mention I have perfect sight??
To those whom I left when I had passed away
There is something important that I would like to say.
Stay strong in the Lord and repent every day
For you do not know when the Lord will call your way.

Forgiveness After Rape

I remember screaming "stop! " I could only yell  
You  drug me upstairs and raped me  putting me through  utter h...
I was so terrified.  I didn't know if I would live or die. 
I heard my panties rip from my inner thigh. 
I had just turned  18. I was now an adult. 
I was traumatized by this cowardly sexual assault. 
You threatened to beat me and leave me for dead. 
Didn't want to be beaten.  Let you rape me instead..
My mother's advice I chose to ignore. 
I was a teen and thought I knew more. 
He  later let me go and I ran down the street. 
I was running so fast. I could hear my own heart beat 
Many years later,  yeah I remember it well. 
I still have nightmares from when you put me through  h...
I have to forgive you because that's what God  commands. 
H... on earth  maybe,  but eternity and life  in His hands.

Reflections

As I reflect on my past and remember things that happened over the years
I often stop and think about the problems I caused. I can still see her tears.
My mother accepted a child, whose parents had left her for dead.
I couldn't understand. Why couldn't she have given birth instead? 
The love I felt for my mother most will never even know.
I was blinded by a wall i had built. My feelings could never show.
Now that my mother s with you I've learned to accept a few things
With Jesus now in my heart I can see what true happiness means.
Though I can never go back and change those things i put you through for some reason God still loves me and some day I will be with you.
To those who know me now you have seen a change in me.
Do you know someone today who is just as lost as me? 
Please go to that person now. Don't wait even one more day. Don't worry about a single thing.. God will tell you what to say.
As this poem comes to an end I hope some day you will find 
Yes at times I can be a real pain. Yet there are those who know me as being simply kind.
I asked Jesus to come into my heart. He could change me in every way.
I guess that's what my mother always knew and wanted to say.

In loving memory of my mother, Melba Dean

I'M Sorry

I'm  sorry for lying  but  there was no  other way. 
I'm sorry  for  living.  What  more can I say?  
I used to wonder if dreams could  come true.  But it can  only  happen to  people  like you...

Just For You, With Love

If I was just a little older I might just understand,
You have to go to work today. Your doing just the best you can.
If I was just a little taller then maybe I can could drive.
Just stay beside me like you always do and pray to God we stay alive!
If I was just a little sneakier then maybe you wouldn't known, 
I used your toothbrush on the cat...Opps I forgot you didn't know!
But for now lets all be thankful that I am still very young.
Are you have fun raising me? Because you know I'm having a ball!!  
Dedicated to all moms

Lonelyness

Lonelyness is  like the hurt of a  poor puppy's paw.  
Lonelyness is something that you never saw. 
Lonelyness is something  that's  hard to  explain. 
It can  bring  forth tears  that  often come with pain. 
Lonelyness is something  that you will  never know.  
It starts off very small  and third begins to grow. 
Lonelyness is something that you  may  someday see, 
but  no one could  bare the  lonelyness that lived inside of me

Home

You will never know how you have touched my life. 
I see a loving husband trying to say goodbye to his wife..
I can't imagine how hard this has to be for you. 
Precious memories of each other,  much more than just a few. 
I am just a servant  but I believe the Lord has brought us together. 
I want a love like yours. True love that lasts forever. 
I see you crying for your wife,  just  then she  reaches out her hand. 
Someday  God's  children will  live in paradise and walk barefoot in the sand  
You have  both  taught me things I won't soon  forget. 
.
Spending these days with you  I will never forget.  
Thank you so much for inviting me into your life.  You have  truly  taught me how to be a winner in the  strife. 
Just some final words from me.  I know you may  feel alone. 
Don't worry about your wife.  Soon she will be going home.

Learning About Faith

I know  it's  getting late but I was hoping  we could talk. 
It seems  I'm having trouble with my Christian walk. 
I often wonder if I ever will  live my life right. 
Many things have come my way  and I removed You from my sight. 

I don't  deserve  Your love  or Your  amazing  grace. 
Help me to turn to You.  Help me  to seek Your face. 
You are the one who loved me  knowing all I've done. 
Your love is real.  You gave Your one  and only  Son. 

I will  make no more excuses  and I will  now pick up my cross. 
I know You are with me  'cause  without  You I'd be lost. 
I just  wanted to say thank you for all that  You've  given. 
You live  inside my heart and  that  makes  life  worth living!
