Come take up my heart,
Poems Page 2
As the day comes to a close.
Aligned in God’s perfect will,
When the sun sets, His grace is shown.
Beautiful are the colors against the sky.
Collaborating one with another,
Creating something mesmerizing to the eye,
When the sun sets, it glorifies no other.
Reminding of His splendor,
Setting His amazing colors in array,
All combined, they reveal that He is the Creator.
When the sun sets, His power is at play.
The love of God is strong,
And its just one of His many gifts.
Symbolizing that His grace lives on,
When the sun sets, burdens He lift.
All the day long,
The sun brightly shines,
Its warmth radiant with the very sky its home.
When the sun sets, it never fails to give His beckoning light.
Caught up in His beauty,
All else fades away,
As the earth is one with God Almighty.
When the sun sets, God Himself is portrayed.

Abide in Me - John 15:4
And give my life a new start.
Tear down these walls,
As I give You my all.
Abide in me, and I shall be complete,
I lay all that I am at Your feet.
Jesus, You are needed in this life,
In this life of mine.
Come make a change,
As I pray in Your Name.
Abide in me, and my whole heart will be in worship with You,
Cause everything I say and do
To bring glory to who You are.
Keep me warm in the embrace of Your arms.
Abide in me, make my soul to be at peace,
Within me, Your Spirit please release.
I’m in need of Your almighty touch,
I desire to feel Your all-consuming love.
Abide in me Lord Jesus;
Make my soul joyous.
I live for You Lord,
As I take hold of Your Word.
I take You to heart,
And You are my constant light in the dark.
I know You are there, and that You want me too,
For You said “Abide in Me, as I in you”

Oh Jesus, Please Heal Me
I want very much to be able to walk.
Every step I take will be for You, and every word I talk.
Oh Jesus, please heal me; make my speech clear,
So I can tell the world of Your courageous power, and they will hear.
Oh Jesus, please heal me; so I can become bold in Your Name.
And I will sing and dance to glorify You just the same.
All things were made.
Then God sent His Son,
Who died so we might live as one.
And rising again so there would be no end,
Life everlasting did He send.
Beautiful Jesus.
The sun rises on His cue,
Birds chirping in the early morning dew.
Breezes set the trees at dance.
Through the skies clouds prance.
He graces the earth with His showers,
Decorating with flowers.
Beautiful Jesus.
Blessing us each day,
He hears as we pray.
He is with us even when we’re unaware.
He teaches that He is always there.
That we have a friend;
A relationship which He will never end.
Beautiful Jesus.
In knowing Him, we have a love so true.
When troubles rise, He is in view.
Living for Him, our King,
We accomplish great things.
If God we seek,
We shall sit at His feet.
All because of Beautiful Jesus.

Because You are Lord of my salvation,
I am alive to enjoy Your beautiful creation.
Because You are the wind in my sail,
I am more than able to prevail.
Because You are the calm of mighty seas,
I am sheltered while prayerfully at Your feet.
Because You are my ever-present help,
I am able to climb from life’s deepest well.
Because You are the Light,
I am able to conquer the darkest night.
Because You are my song,
I am never alone.
Because You are love,
I am filled with the love of Your Son.
Because You are a lamp unto my feet,
I am confident even in defeat.
Because You are the giver of good things,
I am under Your divine blessings.
Because You are Lord of all,
I am Your child and You answer my call.
I am saved by the Blood of the Lamb,
Because You are I AM.

January 24, 2005,
God knew I needed a friend.
Someone in which I could depend.
A friend that would care till the end.
So He sent you because you had a heart to lend.
Writing letters and poems for you,
Is something I love to do.
I’m glad I have you to write to.
God gave me the ability to write poetry, and from that
our friendship grew.
I know our friendship is true.
For God had it planed before we ever knew.
He gave me you to think of, where ever the place,
He knew the thought of you would bring a smile to my face.
He wrote it in ink so our friendship could never be erased.
I know we are the best of friends by God’s grace.
You are an angel to me.
An angel sent by God because He heard my plea.
He sent you knowing that you have a heart as true as it can be
God sent you because He knew there was something special
about you, and knew I would see.
I sit in front of my computer’s screen.
I check my e-mail to see who has been thinking of me.
I go to the URLs you send.
In which states how much you like being my friend.
We go to the chat room, our meeting place.
We feel like we know each other well, even though we have
never been face to face.
We tell one another our deepest dreams and secrets.
We tell them openly, and without regret.
So when I’m sad and things aren’t going my way.
I come online hoping you are there to take my sadness away.
You let me know that you are there.
You give me cyber hugs to show me you care.
I just want to let you know I appreciate the little things you do.
And that I’m glad to have found a friend in you.
Where all there is -- is me.
A place in which no one knows.
The visions only I see.
Sometimes I go when I'm fast asleep.
I see meaningful scenes.
It's how I know that what I feel is deep.
This place gives me wings.
It's all mine;
The feelings, the scenery,
May not be in real time,
Nonetheless, it belongs to me.
Here I'm alone,
Dreaming my dreams.
Here I'm strong.
Although, I don't have to be asleep
To enter this place.
But in the midst of my day,
While wide awake,
My dreaming doesn't go away.
I get lost in the sea of dreams.
Or is it that I'm found?
I go to this place when I need to be relieved.
I go to block the sadness and pain that surrounds.
I dream of my heart's secret desires.
Even though they may not come true.
My dreams never tire.
Hey, who knows, maybe my dreams will come to view.
And they won't be just wishful thinking in my mind.
My dreams are the essence of my heart.
Flowing through my soul in streams.
With the Lord willing, my dreams are just the start.
So for now I am In The Sea of Dreams.
When people look at you,
What do they see?
Ever thought in that view?
Ponder for a moment, take heed.
At first. do they see your face?
Your hair, your eyes? Yes, it's likely.
But in time's race,
There is a key.
A special key which opens all doors.
It unlocks the human spirit.
Knowing someone -- includes the sharing of words.
But words aren't enough to hear it.
Hear what? You may ask.
All the love in one's heart that can't be expressed,
For some reason or another, it's not an easy task.
Some find it difficult to show all they process.
Unsure if they are truly seen.
There are special people which come into our lifes.
Someone who will make you smile and your heart beam.
Someone who willl show you who you are.
Someone who can make you laugh when you are sad.
A special someone who will think you are a star.
Someone who will always love you, even when times are
bad.
Someone who will make you feel needed and beautiful.
For when someone loves you, then you are as beautiful as can be.
When you know you are loved, there is no place in your heart that is dull.
If you haven't found that special someone yet.
Keep your eyes open wide and your heart even wider.
There is no need to fret.
Give the want time time to grow; it is wiser.
Who knows,
It may not be long until your looking is done.
Or even more so;
Ever thought you may be someone's "Special Someone"???
