Where Are You?

Where Are You?

Lord, I know you’re there

But where?

I need you badly

Would accept your help gladly

I’m searching but can’t find

Lord, I’m in a bind

I’m feeling insecure

Need your help to procure

Patience, hope and knowing

That this is part of growing.

Life on earth can be so trying

Temptations, frustrations

And now I’m whining

Lord, will you meet me here?

Let me know that you’re near

Set my heart right

Believing with all my might

That You’ll take my hand

And that You know the plan

That, though in this life

I may face some strife

You have promised to always be

Forever, near me!

Amen.

Just a Fool

Just A Fool

I know that what you see here, is a fool

But thank you for looking with love too!

So many mistakes I make each day

I praise you for not making me pay!

With constant, air-headed consistency

I continually find myself in difficulty!

No matter how hard I try not to 

I always do what I don't want to!

Will I ever learn, will it ever come easy

To do Your will, unwittingly?

Such a conscious effort it takes 

And still I make the same mistakes!

I praise You for Your wonderful grace

Not once have you thrown it back in my face!

You always give me love and forgiveness

Washing me clean again, and sinless!

And so I'll start over, all fresh and new

To do my best to please only You!

Please guide me and help me along

To do what is right, and to remain strong!

My Children are all grown now.  I wrote this a couple of years ago when I was thinking about the fun we had camping when they were just little!

My Little Girls

My precious little girls

With their baby-hair curls

Tired and sleepy-eyed

From a long day’s ride

Cozy, pink and napping

From a weekend of camping

Days spent swimming and racing

Jumping and playing

Catching tadpoles and frogs

Roasting marshmallows and hotdogs

Then with laughing and fright

And long into the night

Around the campfire we’d spend

Finishing stories with—

“They all died.  The End!”

I love them so much

My heart they do touch

My precious little girls

With their baby-hair curls

Love, Mama

I tried everything I could to those two lines to not be Bold, and to line up; but I give up!

Just written today.

You Touched My Shoulder

I’m changed and new

Because of you

You saw me struggle

Trying to juggle

With lies and sin

Oh! The mess I was in!

You touched my shoulder

Said, “Give me that boulder.”

“I’ll take that load and

Show you another road.”

 “Go straight, follow me,

And you will see

This road is sweeter

Let Me be your leader.

This way leads home

For you are My own.”

Another Poem by Grammyluv

What Did You See In Me?

What did You see in me

That You’d want to draw near?

What made You calm me

That I would not fear?

What made You love me first

That before I knew it

For Your love I would thirst?

What did You do

And how great is Your wisdom

That would make me brand new

And part of Your kingdom?

What is it about You

That makes my heart glad

That lifts me up

When I’m feeling sad?

What made You send Your Son

That not now, and no longer

Would I feel the need to run

But could stay still and grow stronger?

What made You have such mercy

That You’d grant me forgiveness

What made You give clemency

That I could experience newness?

What makes You pick me up

And know when I’m down

Your arms You open up

Put a smile, where once was a frown?

What is it about me

That You’d want my love so?

Is it because;

You couldn’t just let me be

Your love to never know?
