I've been talking to God all night long,
I prayed to forgive me for all I've done wrong.
Each time I talk to him my tears start to flow,
I stopped feeling and crying so long long ago.
I thanked God this morning, for sending me a friend,
He held out his hand, he taught me how to bend.
I'll never know why you were the one I listened to,
So young but wise in God , as a friend I love you.
I have never met anyone throughout my entire life,
So kind and unselfish as my friend and his dear wife.
I'm surrounded with people that don't understand,
then a complete stranger holds out his hand.
I feel God is here as I write this poem for you,
It makes me feel safe, my faith in God is brand new.
My eyes are crying the tears fall once more.
I've felt like this since you helped open Gods door.
I am really trying to stand on my own,
But you made me realize I can't do it alone.
Knowing God is a mystery to me.
It feels so wonderful, I wish my family could see.
At this moment my faith is just here for me,
I can't wait when the whole world can see.
It feels so right to bring God inside,
He's in my heart to stay, but for now he must hide.
Thank you God for forgiving my sins,
even when you know all that has been.
I tried to live my life the best that I could,
You told me last night that you understood.
I must start my new life day by day,
So I don't stumble along the way.
I'll try to keep God in all that I do.
God please bless me and my dear friend too.

Iam overwhelmed by your heartfelt comments. You bring tears to my eyes thinking of that wonderful night in July when I finally found Our Sweet Lord. I never wrote poetry before I found this website in June. I know he sent me here to meet live4eternity.(Jason) He never wrote either and joined the same week. We started a conversation about God wanted us to be humble and lose our pride. I am amazed to see you have that very word in your comment. He had such a sweet gentle way I started listening. We emailed each other ,then talked on the phone. We still do, we pray over the phone with each other. I do honestly feel God gave me the gift of poetry to write of his wonders. Thank you so much for commenting on all my poems It all started when I wrote a poem Half Way To God after I started reading the wonderful poems on here about our Lord. I haven't stopped writing about Him since. Well sorry I wrote so much. Thank you for all your kind words. God bless you, Sandy

I must start my new life day by day,
So I don't stumble along the way.

The determination and courage in this poem is truly admirable. I thoroughly enjoyed the reading of this poem. It's brave and honest and yet, at the same time, humble. In such a chaotic and oftentimes confusing world, it's hard to keep going...hard to keep your faith...hard to keep being that good person you want to be. But you know you have to do everything you can to keep doing all that. Thank you for this bright, shining entry of a poem.

It only takes one dear friend to hold out their hand and bring
glory to our land of God's wisdom and grace.

Oh Sandra, you did it this time... You brung tears to my eyes. The most wonderful thing that we could ever whitness in our lives on earth just happened. It's when just as little as 1 of God's children come home. Can you imagine that your child ran away while ago. All you could do is try to call them, it's their choice to answer. Then one day, you see them a little ways off in the distance.. they are comming back home! What do you do? You would probably run out there with open arms eager to hold them and tell them how mush you love them. It wouldn't matter if they were wrong for leaving, it just matters that they are home. You would immediately forgive them. That's what it's like with God. He is our father and He loves it when we come back home!!!! That is the one most awesome, beautiful thing that we can whitness!!!!!!! Congradulations, welcome to our family. God's family. Welcome sister
