I was once asked how I would describe God
And I replied
God is the stars that shine at night as I kneel to say my prayers
God is the angel that speak to me in my dreams
God is the light that shines through my window each morning awakening me with his warmth
God is the love I see when I look around me and see the beautifull home and life bestowed upon me
God is the teacher that has guided me through the education and religion that has helped me grow into the young woman that I have become
God is the stepmother sent to me when I needed a mother
God is the love I feel when she tells me everyday that I am and always will be her beautifull daughter
God is the love of my father,a firefighter,and my hero
God is the one that brings him home safe to our family every night
God is my little sister when she looks up to me for advice
God is the love growing inside my mothers womb bringing me a new brother or sister
God is the love I feel when I write poetry or strum songs on my guitar
God is the love felt on palms upon cheeks far across the miles
God is the one that surrmounts all hurt,sadness,poverty, and angst
Above all
God is among each and every one
God is felt in each and every moment
God is in every dream that is dreamt
Above all-In God I trust to lead me from yesterday into today and onto further tomorrows.

This is a wonderful poem, but not exatly what i'm looking for. I'm looking for a poem about 2 loves who believe in a different religion. Don't get me wrong...this poem is well done, but not exatly what i'm looking for. But thank you for entering and best wishes :) ashley

Allusive
Allusive. Your work is very well written, and I like the relationship between God and your personal day to day life. Check the plural "stars" in the 2nd line, and the "speak" in line three should be "speaks". Regarding the contest, "Who Is Jesus", I would conclude that your answer is "God", but you do not make this clear in the poem. Nor, is "God" referred to in a personal manner as the Scripture reveals Him, but rather a spiritual influence. Thank you for your work here -
God is the binding force, and the essence of all things. The best way to describe Him is to simply say: “God IS.” Nicely written. God bless.

Haleigh, it is interesting to see how our views of God are similar. I believe that God is in everything, from the subatomic particles to the whole of existence. That is the God I see.

She's an honor student & it shows
This is publishable good and of pure sincerity of heart. Beautifully written. You might like my song "My Sister" since you have a sister and "may" have another sister on the way too. I just wrote tonight. If a brother he can sing to you two when he gets older if you teach him how to play guitar or he sings while you play... Or you all three sing together one day.
In Christian Love,
You AP mom

I like this, Sister! Great job...you have put a lot of truth into this and it is vital to recognize God's work in every aspect of our live. Spiritually, I give it an A+++++
Poetically, I would say that it struck me more as prose than as poetry, but that's not a bad thing necessarily. I really like this. Great Write. God is Good.
