Realizing

by Poet on the Piano   May 22, 2013


Too often I cloud up the meaning of you.

It's all you, God.

When I talk kind words to someone or stop
my walking to show that I will sit and wait
and care, it is all through you.

You give me the patience I never have but
need to start having more of. It is only through
you that I can learn to understand others,
listen and appreciate all around me.

You were the first to love and you are the
strongest example of love,
please give me that passion to serve others
in a way that may take time,
but will show them the gentle paths love
can certainly have.

I want to thank you for all the times you
have worked through me, because I know
it's not myself that can be courageous or
concerned,

it's all you.

    This is absolutely stunning.

    The first line is just amazing on it's own, I'm in love with it.

    Your faith shines through this piece, your love for Him radiates through each line. You realized that He is the reason for everything you say and do.

    This reads like a prayer and has that personal touch to it, I know it definitely came from the bottom of your heart. Thank you so much for sharing it! :)

    Wow this is a beautiful prayer poem Each line could stand on its own
    Too often I cloud up the meaning of you.
    I not only can relate I love the artistic metaphor to the clouds between heaven and earth. I can tell each stanza was written from the heart of an author that also has a beautiful mind and soul
