A Faith Poem

[goddess_bb]

I do not write alot about my faith, but this poem came to me after I had a experience that changed my outlook on life...maybe many of you might not understand it but it is about dealing with depression and faith...

**Wish**

So you are not happy in this life??
I will take it away..
You think you have it sooo bad
I will grant you your wish
Poof in a instant--
It is gone, your life
As the blood drains from
what you thought was such a flawed body...
Does regret run rampet??
Second guessing your choice??
Maybe life wasn't so bad??
You start to pray..
asking for his mercy...
Could you have a second chance?
You make promises
This time you will do better
Appreciate what he gave you,
understand he is the one in control...
If only given the chance,
So dear soul
Hold your gift close
He gave you your life
Not so you would waste it...
But to embrace it..

Such a dark begining, yet ending with beauty and spirituality. I think that someone that writes such a poem, has alot of depth to their soul.

[Aimee]

Goddess, I liked the line best that says,
As the blood drains from what you thought was such a flawed body...
My loved ones & I have a tradition that we kiss whenever we leave eachother - even if it just to run up to the grocery store! Then, you know that if anything happens in the mean time, you had that one brief last moment with them.
Great poem Goddess.

[hotforscott]

Interesting Poem.
What a great tradition Aimee. I never would have thought about doing something like that.

[Sheila63]

That's a wonderful poem, goddess.:D I especially love the last three lines.

[JenRN]

That was really good, I agree with Amy, you just never know when it will be your last moment here!

[TeriB19]

We are the same way in our family. Kisses before we go to bed, before we leave for work, before we part, that's just the way we are. My husband said he could count on one hand the number of times his parents told him that they loved him. We are raising our children very differently than he was raised. The love flies around this house.

[Aimee]

I can believe that!^^^

[goddess_bb]

Thanks guys...

I always try to kiss my kids before I go anywhere, I would like them to remember me as the mom who loved them beyond words (cause I do)..if something was to happen...

[SCOTTSMYMAN]

That was a great poem Goddess. I've really learned in the last two years how important every day is. Just like everyone else my family is always kissing goodbye and telling each other how we love one another. Thanks to many prayers my husband and I will be able to grow old together and we now treasure every hour to every minute we have together.:hugs: :angel:

[StappsSaviour]

that is so true!

"One, oh One, the only way is One!"

[alive_in_Jesus]

Woah! That was very, very good...I'm wanting to print that off for my brother to read, he suffers from depression...he doesn't understand what a gift life is! It frustrates me soo much, I wish I could just share my joy with him, ya know?

Thank you soo much! I like to write too, haven't done it in a while though....

[goddess_bb]

hey Alive..I suffer with Depression myself...it is a struggle everyday..you and your brother are in my prayers..:D
