Are you not all that all can be
Are you not my hope and destiny
In between each page of my life
I give you worship and sacrifice
Upon my arising and sitting down
I lift up to you my praise sound
I hope to glorify your kingly name
Worshiping you; because you came..
Into the mess that was my state
You gave me love in place of hate
New point of view, you brought with you
My mind expands, with thoughts anew
What you require is just my heart
That's all you ask, that is my part
What you gave me is simple too
You simply gave me the best of you

Thanks Tony, this one is rather special to me...thanks for your signature on it

I know this is about God but it also fits a person or thing who comes to us at the right time...when we most need their love or understanding. It's not surprising that at such times we exalt them. Very nicely written.

This is very very beautiful. Wonderful sentiments to this piece. I really like it. You are describing the way your life was before he came into it. More like a 'dedication' piece. Wonderful writing.
All the best

Beautiful "because you came into the mess that was my state, you gave me love in place of hate"! Very truthful "What you require is just my heart" and lovely concluding lines.

"What you require is just my heart"
That's not a "just!" It's the biggest thing we can give someone in a relationship. But of course, I know what you mean...he expects just love, not other conditions like many do in relationships. I've been in those that expected more than that, they placed conditions on love and levels I had to meet before they would continue to love. Of course those relationships died.
But of course this is more about God than a person, but the same theory applies I guess.

How did you get so wise? hahaha yes it could apply to other relationships for sure and actually most times when I write
I write with more than one subject in mind...multifaceted somewhat; you're very wise - did you go to 'wisdom' school? I have been noticing your reviews so knowledgeable and all, makes an impactlol

I dont often enjoy this 'type' of poetry and yet I must say this is beautifully done. I can only guess the reason I liked it so much probably because you felt and or feel exactly what you wrote and yet a very selfless poem as evident by the final line.. well done and great final line.

Wonderful Lullaby
And I guess that's kind of what it could be, a wonderfull lullaby if one could find a music that fit. Very touching throughout, and I'm sure the Lord would give it 3 clappies also. Nicely done Girl...

i often wonder with religion how many seem to find faith when they are at their lowest in life, and that is a good thing yes, but i do not often hear of someone finding faith when they are at their highest in life a good poem

TY
Ian, could that be because of the sheep like quality of man? smile. We don't want the medicine until we come to recognize the illness. I don't know, I've been up all night, and even when I have slept the proper amount of time, I still am not that sharp. Thanks Ian, so much for this reflective and thoughtfilled review. You've placed a thought into my mind with your remarks.
LOL

A very exhilarating poem with power and boldness. Brings you God right into your heart and life! Your poem makes Him real to us and an ever-present companion He came for us and accomplished in us in making forgiveness a personal reality. Love the rhymes! Best regards! xx
