Grace Valentine Poem
The rain fell upon me
It revealed my destiny
My pain was washed away
My heart would never again sway
Yet why do I feel the way I do?
Why do I search for something new?
At night, my heart weighs me down
Endless stars I try to count
It feels like I have lost my aim
The only thing left with me is my name
I gently close my eyelids once again
I searched for the rain that once washed away my pain
It had now dried up
Leaving me hurting, with none to fill my cup
I longed for restoration
But sunk deeper into desperation
It felt like a storm inside my head
Before me, both faith and fear were laid
Was there a choice for me?
Would my eyes be able to see?
I saw myself falling
My knees got weak and I felt like crawling
I searched for an open door
A door that would end my heart's war
My lips could utter no more
My spirit would not soar
I shut my eyes tightly and kept my pace
As darkness crept in, I saw myself in another phase
There was a bright light shining
A voice of hope within me whispering
I found a way
My burdens, I had to lay
The rain washed away all my pain
And there I saw my destiny
A destiny of hope and eternity

Grace Valentine Poem
I am so thankful
Thankful for what God has done
He blessed me with life
A life that overcomes obstacles
A life that is stronger
He blessed me with parents
Parents who made a difference in my life
They showered me with love
They showed me the way to walk in
He blessed me with brothers
One elder, one younger
Brothers that I cannot do without
Brothers who make my life complete
He blessed me with my husband
A man who chose to share his life with me
A man who means the world to me
A man I dearly love
He blessed me with in-laws
Father in-law, mother in-law
Sister in-laws and brother in-laws
In-laws who are special to my heart
In-laws who enabled me to do my part
He blessed me with grandparents
Uncles and aunts
Cousins, nephews and nieces
All equally special
Totally valuable
He blessed me with a job
A job that's more of a ministry
Troubled girls and angry youths
Trying at times
But all precious to me
How fortunate I am
One thing I'm sure of
I'm blessed because of Jesus

Grace Valentine Poem
A life forms within me
My womb opens itself
A tiny life within me
Depending on me for the very air it breathes
I lay my hands upon my tummy
Though deep inside
I feel my little being
Our hearts beat together
Our blood flows together
No longer am I just a woman
I shall now be a mother
A woman of virtue and gentleness
I will take care of myself
For there is a tiny one inside of me
That anticipates my touch

Grace Valentine Poem
I stood at the tower of my heart
And looked upon the remains of my broken dreams...
Cold and numb I feel
Is there anything left to heal?
Loneliness pierces me like a dagger
Loosing my strength I begin to stagger
What has become of me?
There is pain in everything I see
What should I rephrase?
What must I embrace?
I shall fight my misery;
For I am a woman of destiny
My tears I shall wipe aside
To the Lord, I am always a beautiful bride...

Grace Valentine Poem
Golden sky
Your beauty is beyond admiration
Trying to comprehend your mysteries
Is far beyond my capacity
How vast is your territory
How magnificent is your glory
Your design captures me
How do I keep my eyes away from you
How can my heart not throb
Do you take after your master
Not so I feel
For He is far beyond beauty
His infinite power
His awesome touch
You are his design
His creation

Grace Valentine Poem
The sun may stop its shining...
The moon may stop its glowing...
The wind may stop its blowing...
But my heart will never stop beating for you
The rain may fail to pour...
The waves may fail to roar...
The birds may fail to sing...
The stars may fail to twinkle...
But my heart will never fail to remember you
Days have passed...
Months have gone by...
Years have flown by...
No matter how long it takes
No matter how long the wait
In every season
In every moment
My heart beats for you constantly
Through every trial
Through every circumstance
My love for you has grown stronger
My heart for you has grown fonder
My eyes are always for you
My dreams are always about you
My thoughts are always on you
My heart is always with you
At times I do not trust myself for I am only human and am limited
Therefore to God I bring my request...
"Help me Lord to remain true, faithful and deeply in love with my husband"...
Till my last breath keep me true
Let him and I be One and no longer two
I do not trust myself and do not know what the future holds
But I trust in God to keep me true to the covenant I made
Please Lord, vindicate
Hold me close my love and never let go
For through you myself I know...
-Your Wife-

Grace Valentine Poem
I seem to be puffing my life away
Why do I resort to such means?
It feels like my heart is rotating
The past seems to have affected me again
Does pain give me solace?
How can it be made known to people
That one has to be surrounded
Constantly with love
In order to recover
Lately I've been lost
God, family, friends
They are the ones I love
They are with me
Still, I feel lonely
I seem to be going in a path
I ought not to
When do I stop?

Grace Valentine Poem
Slumber comes upon me...
My eyes gently close and take me far away.
I feel the breeze awakening me...
But I refuse to submit.
I hear music in my ears...
A melody that stirs my heart...
It gently beats with my heart.
Soon I find myself walking on rose petals...
For that one precious moment...
I was a princess.
I drifted further into the woods...
The sound of running water drew me nearer to my castle...
Sadly, the music faded and the breeze ceased.
My eyes remained shut and searched...
It searched for the melody that journeyed deep within.

Grace Valentine Poem
Children of the world
Going through troubles untold
Why do the nations rage...
Why do they find it hard to gauge..
Day by day
Year after year
Hungry babies
Empty platters
Tired fathers
Disappointed mothers
Crying children
Their hopes bedridden
Dried up grounds
Faces with frowns
Is there no end to war...
Would it not heal if love was more...
Do your part I say
For that is the only way
Feed the little babies
Calm their crying hearts
Help the young mommies
Guide their troubled hearts
Make room for peace
Only than will terror cease
Lend a helping hand
The weak we will fend
Triumph we shall and not rust
For it is in God we trust

Grace Valentine Poem
WORRY LOOKS AROUND...
SORROW LOOKS BACK...
PITY LOOKS INWARD...
BUT FAITH LOOKS UPWARD!
