After the Rain 7/19/2006
After the Rain
After the rain
As the sun sinks
The sky is filled
With blues and pinks
The air smells fresh
The earth is still
A soft breeze blows
Down from a hill
As darkness falls
And silence breaks
Inside my heart
New peace it makes
Tomorrow holds
New things for me
Perhaps I too
Washed clean will be
Old sorrows gone
And worries too
And ...

a reflection on Psalm 2 7/19/2006
A Prayer
By lonnie
Awesome GOD
All power is yours
And you are Just
But if justice is done
I am done for.
I have sinned
I deserve death
And so I tremble
But I know that YOU are merciful
And I trust in YOUR awesome mercy and love
And I rejoice
And beg YOU to be merciful
And to protect me.

Last Night 7/17/2006
Last Night i felt like dying
I lost the meaning to life
I felt confused
All that seemed clear to me was the pain
The pain which I wanted to get rid of
Last Night i felt like i wasn't anybody
I felt like i was nothing
I lost all i am and was made to be
It seemed as though it never existed
Last Night i went to sleep crying
The tears where of pain
of failure, of ...

A Place in Me 7/8/2006
I like the way you make me feel:
the tender love that kisses seal.
I think of you from dusk ‘til night.
Somehow this time it just feels right.
Your friendship means the world to me.

Friendship. 7/8/2006
God never loved me in so sweet a way before.
"Tis He alone who can such blessings send.
And when His love would new expressions find,
He brought thee to me and He said- "Behold a friend."
Hope This little poem blesses those who read it.
Anne.

Were You Being My Daddy? 7/3/2006
Was I with you, Lord?
Did you come and take me?
Did you take my mind and soul and carry them far away?
Did you take me fishing?
Or maybe to the zoo, Lord?
Were you being my daddy when my daddys' were being some
other thing here?
Was I with you, Lord?
Why can't I remember?
Did you take me out in space and show me the Milky Way?
Or to the depths of the ocean?

My Dream 7/2/2006
I wake up in the morning with the pressure of
his arm upon my side.
With a gentle tug he pulls me to him and upon the wings of love
we ride.
And all day long the thoughts of him go flying to and fro within
my mind.
And I thank the Lord for sending me someone who doesn't
mind the ties that bind.
I look up from what I'm doing 'cause I feel his eyes
upon me and he ...

Stripped 7/1/2006
Once again You have stripped all else away
So that only You remain.
As if to prove to my wanting heart
That nothing else matters.
And again, after countless tears have fallen
And the grief but for a moment faded
I humbly bow and say
Yes, You satisfy.
Let all else fade!
Yea ~ let it grow very dim.
Nothing compares to You and
None could compete with You.

“The enemy has persecuted my soul…he has crushed my spirit.
He has made me to dwell in darkness like those long dead…Therefore
my heart is overwhelmed me. My spirit fails. My heart within
me is distressed…
I spread out my hands to You. My soul longs for You like a thirsty

Before You
I am before You.
There are no pretenses, no fronts ‒ I simply am.
Simply me before Holy You…
What a fearsome, life-giving reality!
A terrifying chill yet fresh breeze to my spirit.
After the initial fear of being seen without ability to
mask my faults, I am awakened to the safety it implies.
There is no striving, no reaching for approval,

The Plan 6/30/2006
In life's great race He made a
plan,
For all the times we need a hand.
He told us just what we should do.
He gave you, Me! He gave me, You!
So when your heart feels hard and dry,
You need a place to lean and cry,
Life seems to be empty and colder,
You'll always know you have my shoulder
And when nothing seems to be going right,
When tears ...

This Little Thing I Feel 6/30/2006
There is this little thing I feel
Deep within my heart
The more we try to stand on "things"
The more we fall apart
New clothes, a car, a TV set,
A house in our own name,
A stereo, a VCR
A new computer game
New pets, new plants, new furniture,
A bike for both the ,
New dishes and new silverware,
New pots with matching lids.

Your Finger 6/29/2006
Your Finger
I cry out for You to touch me…
Longing for intimate encounter.
You answer with but a finger…
And penetrate my heart.
Still, I scream in unexpected agony…
Forgetting how often you must first
Pierce through layers of flesh…
To grant me my desire.
Yet, again I will ask.

Turned off my bed, tumbled into my light,
And all because he kissed me good-night!

Nothing Left But Faith 6/26/2006
I have nothing left to work with but my faith
I have no one else to turn to but my Lord
Though it seems that there’s no hope
And there seems no way to cope
Jesus has a hand to hold when times get hard
Often times we seek a blessing from above
Wanting instant answers to our many cries
If we believe God’s word is true
There is nothing we ...

Couldn't help but drop a line

And hope your day is fine

A humorous prayer 6/17/2006
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray for a man whos not a creep
One who's handsome, smart and strong
Who's not afraid to admit when he is wrong
One who thinks before he speaks
When he promises to call, he doesn't wait three weeks
I pray that he is gainfully employed
won't lose his cool when he's annoyed
Pulls out my chair and opens my door
massages my back and wants to do ...

I Stood Within The Valley 6/16/2006
I stood within the valley,
The mountains kissed the sky,
And with a trembling youthful voice,
I released a mournful cry,
I yelled, 'You're not being fair'
Then this is what I heard,
A voice that echoed back to me,
Each and every word.
Again I spoke with angry tone,
'You mock the words I say',
The voice returned the things I said,
With tone of sheer dismay.

Does God in every lifetime place a moment when we care?

a moment when we dare
to ask for love ?
Ah, but God gives us our free will.
He won’t violate that trust.
He sent His Love through Jesus...
the rest is up to us.
