Cry of the Unprepared My good father, where am I on this day This self inflicted soul ponders, wonders But aches to give away I despise my human side That holds disguise of rest Choices give then take away And the hurt remains unblessed My giving host, what must I do to know To cleave to faith and hold it true To understand and grow I give weight to struggles deep And call upon my mind Always knowing I am nothing, I am unworthy and behind Oh My Love, I ache and fall again Come and bestow strength to me And hold me as a friend I will lose without your touch Without your precious gifts For I am weak and fall below I need your hands to lift Forgive me Lord, today I choose to pray I sense your presence Near and true on this my dying day I thank you Lord for this time That we have met and shared Though I could not deserve your grace For I am the unprepared Timothy Work He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered. Proverbs 28:26 |

Though you did post before, I will count this as your first official post.(Amen)  Though I am most certain that none could say that I am totally prepared to hear the tragic news of death, I think as your poem points out that equally many are not prepared to hear the Good News that GOD's Grace, though undeserved, is sufficient to give to us a life that we could never know apart from Him. I love the humbleness that you express here in your poem. Very nice poetry, GOD Bless You, and again Welcome.-Bob |

 Poet4ChristI know you will really enjoy this poetry site and all the wonderful people here to get to know. Please check your email for a welcome surprise. On second thought check the email address you put here as I could not send it to you. I think you wrote down an incorrect email address Timothy? ~* Carpe' Diem *~ [This message has been edited by Mysteria (02-20-2003 01:55 AM).] |

Thanx Bob- It is so interesting how so many can see different meanings within a poem. I can see how this poem could be about death, but originally the word 'dying' in the poem is actually an abstract expression of how my spirit felt when I was writing; as if I was once again dying to self to take in God's gift of rebirth. Anyway thank you very much for your comments all of you. It means a lot to me. Mysteria - try my email now.. I forgot to capitalize on some letters in my email address.. Thanx again everybody - Tim |

"Oh My Love, I ache and fall again Come and bestow strength to me And hold me as a friend I will lose without your touch Without your precious gifts For I am weak and fall below I need your hands to lift" What a wonderful piece.. I really enjoyed this. It's wonderful to serve a God that hears our dying whispers... Welcome to Passions, I'm glad to have you here! Oh, make me Thine forever |

and He said, "Love thy neighbor as thyself." Seems such a difficult thing to settle in one's mind, yet if we allow Him to come in, can we do else, but love ourselves as well, for yes, He is sufficient, He promises it so. To love our neighbor we must first love ourselves. It's a circle, is it not? Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |
