It Takes Grace

It Takes Grace
Sometimes I might be too distracting and even get annoying
Maybe I joke when you're serious and I am only toying
Then I talk too much at times when you are tired of me
I am loving your presence and just want you to love me
There I go and complain again about the same old things
And tell the same old stories that in your head it rings
You probably wish you could say, “Stop it, leave me alone”
When I call, you think about just not answering your phone
Now I see how I can change when before I had no clue
I just need some godly grace flowing from Jesus through you
I know I don't deserve it as none of us really do
Anyway I try to give God's grace as He wants us to
And still I need like anyone to not be pushed aside
I try to be a good friend and put that pride aside
I am a work in progress as all Christians are I know
Will you forgive me and God's grace on me bestow?
I am learning to be more pleasant and more positive
God works on my heart and soul each day that I live
I even pray for the will it takes to be better every day
And have friends that will be happy just to love me I pray

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested. Feel free to reach out at gm@il : akiracomicart2@ or on inst@: akiraa_artly
