Torn Apart and Put Back Together

I hide from the forces
That are tearing me apart.
My soul is fractured
And in many fragments.
My life is in pieces
And can not be put together.
I come across obstacles,
But stumble over them.
How can I go on?
I am so overwhelmed.

Falling, I catch myself.
I open my eyes.
I see the pieces of my life
Scattered like a puzzle.
I realize what I must do.
My life needs a major overhaul.
Adjustments must be made.
I must make a change
Even though it will be difficult.

I take one day at a time;
Things seem bright each day.
I believe in myself
And follow my heart.
Putting the final piece together,
My life is whole.
Never again will I close my eyes
And lose sight of the beauty of
My life and this world.

I Love Her

I love her very much,
But does she love me?
She is so kind to me.
She rubs my whole body,
That sends shivers up my spine.
I love her so much.

I need to tell her
Of my feelings.
Because if I do not,
She will find someone else.
I am afraid to tell her,
But I must be brave.
O Kay here I go,

I will tell her right now.

"MEOW!"

Love

I love him.
He means so much to me.
When he is not here,
I miss him greatly.
Day and night,
I long for him.
His gentle kisses,
His warm embraces,
His tender kindness,
Everything about him,
I greatly love.

Every waking moment,
And in my dreams,
He is in my thoughts
One day,
I hope and pray,
I will be with him,
Till death do us part.

If Not for You

My life is a waste,
I thought to myself one night.
No accomplishments to my name,
No lives saved,
No lives impacted,
By my existence.

I wish just once
I could reach out
And just help somebody,
Where they would remember me.

A voice spoke in my head,
"You have affected many.
However, you are unaware
Of what you did.

"Do you remember the girl last month,
Who did not have enough
Money at the store?
It was only change.
But she remembered,
And will grow up to
Be very generous.

"Do you remember the boy
Who fell off his bike last month?
You helped him clean his knee
And put a band aid on.
It was only a scrape.
But he remembered,
And will grow up to
Be a Doctor.

"Do you remember yesterday,
At the library where you helped
A teen find something to read?
It was only a book.
But he remembered,
And will grow up to
Be a famous author.

"You see," said the Lord God.
"Your life is not a waste.
You have touched many people.
They will not be
What they are in the future
If not for you."

Lord You Are Great

Lord, You are great.
Dress me with Your
Honor and Majesty.
Cover me with your light;
Allow people to see my glow.
Protect me from those
Who will hurt me
And those who will
Make fun of me.

Holy Spirit,
Fill my heart.
Rekindle Your fire in me.
Allow me to know your love,
Allow me to turn towards you.
Show me your Mercy
When I fear you.
Allow me to spread
Your love throughout the world.

Your glory will be forever.
Allow me to sing praises to you
As long as I live.

Formed from Clay

I was formed
On the Potter's Wheel.
Molding me from clay,
He shaped my very existence.
My life was formed from
His own, tender hands.
I look in the mirror
And see His creation.
What I think are flaws
Are His intentions.
He sees me as a
Perfect object, free from blemish.
Through life, as I become cracked,
He gently fixes the fractures,
Hiding the scars.
To Him I am an object of beauty,
Totally different from His other creations.

The Man in My Life

I have a man in my life,
He is perfect in every way.
When I mess up,
He does not put me down.
He loves me unconditionally, though
Sometimes I don't love him back.
He helps me with all my problems.
He is there for me,
Even when I want to be alone.
He always listens to me,
Even when I am complaining.
He sees me as a beautiful woman,
Even though I have many flaws.
The man in my life
Is perfect in every way.
Including the holes in
His hands and feet.
