I've neglected you for so long,
but loyally your heart still hangs on.
How did this happen to our happily little family?
How did we split up, oh so hopelessly?
My faith burnt by betrayal, my love crushed by lies
all had failed for me, when pain struck my eyes.
I've traveled the roads of hate,
walked all the trails of sin,
But my forgiving lord has lethis lost lamb come in.
There's a reason my life's worth more,
for the cross he once bore.
My wide path narrowed by god above,
led to my new beginning and to his tender love.
I forgot about my scars so torn,
because now I'm spiritually reborn.
Now we talk as if all is well,
knowing life is too short to be alone to dwell.
I've found my faith within his light,
my fire now burns like his love so bright.
I urge to tell the world his name,encouraging others to do the same.
My reason is here,
my reason is now,
Don't ask me what
ASK HIM HOW

Beautiful, I wish my Jelly would call on God to heal and bless her, he would help her but I'm afraid she is shutting everyone out, even God. Thank you so much for writing a spiritual poem, its a hard find these days and your message in your poem is so true. God bless you! :f

Very good, you did a wonderful job. I really like this because I'm sure just about everyone can relate to it. Good luck in the contest!

Your poem was breathtakingly unique. It was fresh and creative and exactly what I would be looking for in a poem if I was my sister, Flaming-FireAngel15. I can't wait until she sees what an amazing poem you have here. Thank you very much for entering her contest and good luck.

WOW!
This is amazing Oompa. I love it. Beautiful and unique. I wish I could write like this.

Wow. This poem was absolutely amazing. ThThis is quite an inspirational poem. I loved the first two lines of stanza 2: "There's a reason my life's worth more,
for the cross he once bore." That is 100% true. The title of the poem actually fits. Even though it isn't completly relevant, it is. Confessing your love to him, letting the world know. It was truely and awsome poem.

Very unique and quite refreshing! There is such an amazing power in the imagery you have woven into this piece - so very surreal. I really enjoyed this... It made me stop and think. That is something that really makes for a fantastic read. To slow down, and enjoy something fresh and vivid.there is no doubt you are in control of your pen and know just where to take us. Great piece!
