A Tangled Vine

 If I think about the words they speak.

To hurt me every single week.

I would hide myself inside.

While the world goes flying by.


If I allow the spoken words.

To keep me croaking just like toads.

I may never find my way.

To tell the world I am here to stay.


If what they say could keep me down.

I will forever be chained and bound.

But I will rise above the rest.

And see my enemies buried in their mess.


If I give back to those in kind.

I am no better than a tangled vine.

I am better.

I am strong.

And I will right every single wrong.


If tomorrow comes and I am weak.

Because of swords from those who seek.

My demise, for all to see.

For shame and sorrow to be me.


If I try to turn the hate.

That others throw at my gate.

I know that I will always win.

And be the daughter.

God freed from sin.

Remember

 When you feel like giving up. When you feel like your back is against the wall. Don't loose your focus. Don't worry about what tomorrow brings. Someone is praying for you. Someone is interceding to God on your behalf. You are not standing alone. When you feel like all hope is gone. Your answer is just a prayer away. The times when you feel lost... Know that you are found. When darkness surrounds you... Remember you are the light of the world. If at times you feel like your taste for praise is disappearing.... Remember you are the salt of the earth. When battles come... Know that the Lord is fighting for you. You have already won. When you don't know where your next meal is coming from... Remember that there is a table prepared before you, even in the presence of your enemies. When you feel discouraged... Remember that the arms of the Lord is around you.  When your children are disobedient... Remember that the Lord will create in them a clean heart and renew a right spirit

Like A Babbling Fool

Image
I say I love you, but my words do not.. I shout with glee, like a shining pot. My eyes grow dim, to the sights I see.. For my actions speaks louder, than who I was born to be. Like a tinkling symbol, I make much noise.. To be seen and heard, so I can rejoice. From the rising of the sun, till it sets in the west.. I loose the chance, to win each test. Often I would say, I am a child of God.. Howbeit my senses, are ruled by discord. Like a slave in captivity, I am bound in chains.. For the pride in my heart, is a block to my stains. I am my own weapon, that is fighting against me.. Consumed and conformed, to the crushing to be free. I speak to the wind, like a babbling fool.. For the mote in my eye, is the devil's own tool. I lost my identity, in the pride of life.. Like a fox in the henhouse, I divorced my wife. I laughed at five loaves and two fishes, in the desert.. For a servant's heart, was distant at my birth. Where honour is given, I laugh it to scorn.. For the council I

Behold, Thou Art Fair

Image
 You will walk down the aisle, as a beautiful bride.. A sight to behold, into arms open wide. The tears you have cried, fell in pots of pure gold.. As the scent of perfume, changed your weary old soul. From before you were born, you were chosen by God.. To radiate the sun, as a treasure to afford. Your gown of snow white, with a veil of pure silk.. Will sanctify your splendor, like heaven's own milk. Behold, thou art fair, oh beloved of the Lord.. With myrrh on your fingers, you are shadowed by a sword. Rise up like roses, at the dawn of the day.. For the glory of your husband, will be your strength and your stay. Into the closet and behind closed doors.. Your honeymoon will eclipse, as your intertwining soars.. A fountain of gardens, watered and free.. Will be your sapphire, for your eyes to see. Look forth tomorrow, when you will both touch.. With feather-like droplets, where grace is so much. Beauty as a rainbow, you will set as a seal.. For the presence of your flaming, will ev
