Poem 20: My Story



My Story
I am getting older
older and colder
each-day opportunities lost
my heart counts the cost


I keep repeating -
my hopes & my dreams
I'll never get there
til I'm too old it seems...

oh I get impatient, discouraged at times
(this is amazing, I'm working the rhymes!)

When will this happen?
Is this the One?’
my desires continue,
it's not all that fun! :p

\(but it will be!)\


twenty-two feels so O1d you see
though I know a rush
ruins what God has for me


I have no clue
just what is in store
He Loves me so much,
& wants so much more

He wants me ready,
and everything right
but God's plan needs timing,
which might take a fight

the right guy is coming... someday, oh someday

there is no rushing these things, I must say
all I can do while I wait & keep pure
is doing my part to be Ready for sure

waiting, Waiting... for the will of the Lord
His plan is much better, deeper... much more!

so I will pass over my will for these things
to see what this gift from the Father will mean :)

preparing myself, prayer all the time
someday my dreams will come true & be mine

if I wrote my story
and I took control
it would be different
i'd fal1 down for sure


I would've been married just after high school
have two little kiddos, their father would rule! (<-- as in be awesome! lol)


I'm glad I didn't take my life in my hands
I would have disgruntled the marvelous plans

"so thankful to you
you knew what to do
not take my plans and tear them apart
you lead me on through
and carefully proved
that you would take care of my heart"

His ways have a Purpose, i try to remember
as I just let go, His hand wrote September!! (thanks!)
for life to be beautiful, more than i'd compose
I must let Him write my full future I know

so I will let go of my paper and pen
to watch Him reach over my shoulder again

I'll let Him continue
without any fear
for Jesus ever reaches
& draws me near

my story will flow
such beauty I'll know


the final chapter so grand
by the experts at hand
the world's Great Author
to write my "the end".

*Later in life reading this I'm wondering why I left this way of thinking and started doing my own thing again. Messing up my story. But I know God allows things not good for us to mold and teach us. Everything the enemy plans for evil God turns it around and brings good from it every single time.

Poem 31: Waiting

Waiting You stand, at the door of myself. You wait, knowing I know. You heard, my voice acknowledge... But now, there's no sight of me. ...
