                      Just Ask
HE tapped upon my heart’s door… Let me help you end your war
Stop along life’s busy street… sit and rest your weary feet
Tell me what is on your mind… unload your grief anytime
Let me help you on your way… let me help you learn to pray
I am here to listen now… just close your eyes, kneel, or bow
Leave your troubles in my hands… I’ll forgive you of your sins

Come to me with open heart…
yes, I need a fresh new start
I am tired and need to halt… all my grief is my own fault
I know now you paid the price… thank you Lord, your plan’s precise.
“Holy Father up above… fill my heart with all your love
Forgive me of all my sins… I place my life in your hands”
I humbly bow at your feet… Satan now has met defeat

hey Melton,
liked the way you set this up...
the counter-play used to
illustrate the great Truths
was well done...with good impact
thanks

BRAVO!!! Yes, yes, may we always embrace Him when we are weak and in need of His love to comfort our tears and grief and always ask, for He loves us all so much and His love will never fail us as long as we ask for it! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Melton, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Beautiful! So well done and poetically unique. Your answer to His call of Love magnificent!

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.

2dalimit:  An impressive poem!  Good job. I wonder why it's so hard to "just ask" at times?

Very sweetly written. Enjoyed both the Savior's statements and your reply to Him.
Neat job. Cheryl
