My heart is out there, hence, my poetry is as well.

  • Poem: It’s Not What’s In Me

    Yes, I did write this shortly after Valentine’s Day…and I don’t think it has any significance.  This is another result of a really humbling experience…I’m not sure what it was, but I remember it being very humbling, and I was just taken away with how little God needs us.  YET, He has grace and mercy to consider us…that is our blessing.  He loves us.

    Humanistic efforts
    Fall short in Your mercy
    Glory and grace
    It’s not what’s in me
    Mediocre collections of a meager ability
    By Your grace, You make it complete
    Finish the work that only You could start
    These trappings in my heart
    Crumble in Your holiness
    It’s not what’s in me
    Or what I can do
    A chasing after the sun
    Sinking in a fountain of blue
    Open ears, open hearts
    Drinking the Light I simply bring
    It’s not what’s in me
    Only what You gave
    You give it to others
    With or without me.
