Really not meaning to impose on the challenges but the line really captured me ~

Upon The Streets Of Paradise

I've been beaten, battered, bruised,
I've been hurt and I've been used,
And when I think I can't go on anymore,
The Lord picks me up off the floor,

He say won't you walk with me awhile,
It's time to see you with a smile,
as we walk hand in hand,
he leads me into the land,
Whenre Jesus made his sacrifice,
upon the streets of paradise,

Whenever I am feeling low,
when the world is moving way too slow,
I lay down and close my eyes,
and picture looking into blue skies,
Jesus tells me of his sacrifice,
"shalt thou be with me in paradise"

~fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me~

Krysti,

Your poetry has never been, is not now, nor never will be an imposition. Really!!! It is however a Beautiful Beautiful expression of yourself (i.e. your mind, your heart, your soul, your emotion, etc. etc.) and I do soooooo appreciate that you took the time to write this poem and I am so very very honored and pleased that somehow I or what I've written here has inspired you. WOW!!!.

You said that my poem, A Mighty Savior, made you want to cry and I must say that your poem did the same for me (exchanging tears I suppose is a good thing)… Anyway, I really loved the image, how you described it in your poem, of you and Jesus walking hand in hand in Paradise. Again, I thought that your poem here was Beautiful and could never ever (never ever ever ever ever..) be considered an imposition to me. Never!!!

Oh, one more thing, if you don’t mind???. Could you possibly, please, write a first line to a poem that you might challenge someone else to write????


God bless you, my friend, and thank you (Thank You) for sharing your poetry here with us.

-Bob
