God has blessed me right from the start From birth to now, he's the only reason I live I love God with all of my heart To you, my Testimony I will so freely give Born, this baby was very blue When I was born, my cord was wrapped tight around my neck Then yellow, Jondis, a bright hue. But I still lived on, but these wonders are just a speck. When two, I was in a car wreck Police and everyone said I should have died! My mom's, dad's, and my life on deck! But because God's grace, this toddler was the joy and pride Then when two, I had a great fall I fell hard, head first, my neck should have broken! cause of God, I live to tell all! God has saved my life, and I tell you Im not jokin! That fall I had, left its small mark I became epileptic, from 5 till I was ten But God cured me, we're still in the dark of how it left, only God could put it to its end Then when in my later teen years I became depressed, and sad and not my normal self This teen girl's eyes, were filled with tears I forgot God, and let him collect dust on the shelf But God sent me a big brother though far away, he has saved me from suicide. My brother, was like no other He helped me get out of my dark shell where I did hide thankful for my brother in heart. Always and forever, I shall be his little sis But yes God I know took his part In us meeting , and sharing our life's true morphasis Yes, God blessed me right from the start God is so awesome. He's one of the few things I got I serve Him with all of my heart When Im asked, how could I serve? I ask, How could I not? ------------------ Gënt£ë¤§°û£ [This message has been edited by Gentle Soul (edited 08-29-99).] [This message has been edited by Gentle Soul (edited 08-29-99).] |

I truly believe angels are right here on earth... no wings.. simply humans with angelic hearts of gold.... God works in mysterious ways...  ------------------ ~onevoice~ "She looked at her life like lines, never-ending, constantly forming, reforming and bending." |

I have to say that I'm pleased to see religious poetry on the forum. Little sister, you do well in everything you try. ------------------ Shall I indulge in flights of fancy hampered by clipped wings? DreamEvil© |

I love the last line, Gentle Soul. How exactly are you two related? You don't appear to be biological siblings from what you posted. |

Hey Gentl, Truly a cool poem. You might want to work on choosing different words or trying different ways to say a certain thing. But you definately ended this poem great. It slows down a few times but the biggest challenge i think all poets face is closing strong. You definately did that. You pulled the whole poem together with that last line. Bravo on that point. jfreak |

I really love this poem. It is not only uplifting and inspirational but your final line was like a breath of life to the spirit. ------------------ Words lay dormant in the recesses of the mind til called forth to a labor of love. By WildChild |
