This world has owned many,
But I would never be one,
Cause no matter how much it is filled with honey,
At the right time, it would soon be gone.
I am owned by someone,
celestially divine,
and ever since the world begun,
into His loving hands, I am forever confined.
This world tried to destroy my path,
and tried everything to blow my light away,
and their victory is really a fact,
and they even made me the weakest of their prey.
I am protected by someone,
but how could this be?
I was left alone and my future is gone,
how could I trusted thee?
My eyes stared at an open space,
where darkness is the rule,
I never know how to live in this place,
so in it, this world called me a fool.
My feet started walking into what I thought is nowhere,
but it's really a strange thing that I could stand,
At this point, I never thought I would dare,
to do something so impossible and offhand.
An endless and narrow path is what I chose to walk to,
and I was surprised by something so bright,
a familiar hand extended and that's the cue,
I am saved again of that heavenly light.
Father, why are you so late?
I suffered from different kinds of pain,
I thought you forgot me and left me at wait,
but thanks, into that world, I am abstained.
"Daughter, this world had tried to keep my children away from me,
and the only thing I have to do is to keep on waiting,
so that if a child comes back to me, though it's not a guarantee,
at least, those who are in good faith, would see the destruction of the enemies that I'll bring"
On that reason, I believe,
that my being with you,
a possession I am retrieved,
into this world I could only say is "adieu!"
Author notes
None of us lives with regards to himself only, and no one dies with regard to himself only; for both if we live, we live to Jehovah, and if we die, we die to Jehovah, therefore, both if we live and we die, WE BELONG TO JEHOVAH.
-Romans 14:7,8 (The New World Translation Bible)

Your poems have this sort of tang to it. I like this one. Though, honestly...I prefer the KJV better. I don't know, just felt like mentioning it. And no...it's not to long.
