Strength

God gave me the strength I needed,
to fight all of Satan's charms.  
Then God took away my strength,
so I would fall into his arms.

I give my heart, my soul, my mind,
and every part of me.
I gladly cry all these tears,
now I walk with thee.


I no longer walk in darkness,
and no longer walk alone.
My heart is over flowing,
with a joy I've never known.

I want to share my love for you,
but no one else believes in my home,
so each day I cry my tears,
and tell you in  a poem.


I never was a strong person,
I'm looking for strength right now.
How many more tears to I have to cry?
I'd stop but I don't know how.

      Wonderful Comment

      Hello, Thank you for reading this older poem. It was written 4 years ago, 2 days after I accepted Jesus Christ in my heart. My life has never been the same. I would be totally lost without my faith with all that has happened to me since knowing Christ. Knowing Him has made it a little easier in the sad times. Bless you my friend. Have a wonderful weekend.

    The poem may be one of your older ones but the meaning still holds true today. You really do have a God given talent. My favorite part is the third verse, and it seems that your heart is still overflowing now as it was when you first wrote this piece with that unspeakable joy. Thanks for sharing, and may God Bless you much

      Good Morning Ron

      Your comment was so lovely to read this morning. It is good to be reminded how I felt back then. This was written 2 days after I accepted Christ as my Lord and Savior after a lifetime of being a non believer. He has helped me through so much sadness and changed my life forever. Bless you dear friend.

      HEARTFELT COMMENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Hello ethneo, So nice to meet you. You happen to choose a poem I wrote 2 days after I was saved and accepted Jesus Christ in my heart and life after many years for the very first time. That was July 16, 2004. Almost 3 years later and I am still learning so much. Thank you for your wonderful comment. You take care and many blessings to you. Sandy

    Wonderful. That's called the power of the Holy Spirit! Yes, that's right, you have the Holy Spirit living inside you. You get it when you get saved. You inherit life, and a new Spirit. Congradulations! These tears may go on for a while. After all, you were gone for a while. The important thing now, you're home! We can't wait to share eternity with you!

    Great

    This was a very good poem

    The first 3 paragraphs are happy ones and the last 2 are like back to reality. You should try to change the rhythm and and feel of the paragraphs if they're describing different moods. But it was a GREAT poem =D
