My favorite poem that describes what it means to be a Christian:

WHEN I SAY, "I AM A CHRISTIAN"

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not shouting, “I’ve been saved!”
I’m whispering, “I get lost!  That’s why I chose this way”

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I don’t speak with human pride
I'm confessing that I stumble—needing God to be my guide

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not trying to be strong
I’m professing that I’m weak and pray for strength to carry on

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I’m not bragging of success
I’m admitting that I’ve failed and cannot ever pay the debt

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I don't think I know it all
I submit to my confusion asking humbly to be taught

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I'm not claiming to be perfect
My flaws are far too visible but God believes I’m worth it

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I still feel the sting of pain
I have my share of heartache which is why I seek His name

When I say, “I am a Christian,” I do not wish to judge
I have no authority—I only know I’m loved

ShelleyA 

ShelleyA she shines so bright:                   

Heaven's love, oh such delight.      

Each poem written gives off His light

Loveliest dove, His pure delight!

Lingering are words she writes 

Ever to stay in heart's delights 

Yes, ShelleyA, my sister tight 

A lways forever, in God's light!

Both of these were written by

a dear friend "Molassis" (Melissa)

Sister ShelleyA

High above the clouds like a bird she soars
To astounding heights with whom she adores.
Limitless wonders - incredible sights
Miraculous ways and unto delights.

Shining intensely of the Father's love
Dear Sister Shelley writes boldly thereof .
Seeking out His love, acceptance and grace 
And as a reward - her, Christ does embrace .

Gentle, her spirit; beautiful, her soul;
She gave self away - Christ is in control.
Shelley, my sister, I want you to know;
You show His goodness - of Christ you're aglow.
