2007 poem. written in HEnglish9 Period 2 after reading "God's Wheel" by Shel Silverstein.
Edited in 2009.
God says to me with a kind of smile,
'Open your heart and relax for a while
See what's around you embedded in light
You'll never see beauty with your eyes closed so tight.'
I respond with, 'I hear you, don't misunderstand
But evil surrounds me in this foreign, strange land.
I'm sure the earth's beautiful, still it's hard to embrace
There seems to be darkness hidden under fine lace.'
God stares through my eyes, as calm as can be
'Oh child,' He sighs, 'come here to me.'
I go and sit near Him, my eyes slightly wet
And cry on His shoulder, spilling regret
I cry out, 'I'm sorry! I've been broken down!'
But He just assures me, and lightens my frown
'Forget about stress and the laughs of your foes
I love you more dearly than anyone knows'
'Oh child,' he continues, 'I'll give you the strength
To conquer these burdens and run the full length.'
He ends with a smile and turns 'round to leave
But deep in my heart, I know He's forever with me.
omg. i love this poem. seriously! we are learning about the healing power of Jesus in religion and how people would got to Him and ask Him for his forgiveness and with their faith they would be healed of their illness. this poem reminds me of that because this person goes to God and tell Him their troubles through their tears and with that God heals. deep i kno!
