When it comes to tough times, I always rely on my spirituality and poetry to get me through them. This time around, God spoke out to me and I understood not to give up. I am writing now, not to force anything on anyone, but to give a sense of hope and to believe in something out there that can get you through tough moments as well. Here is a poem I wrote while covering with God.
Given
3 Nails + 1 Cross = 4 Given
Given to me, a New life
A New Life like a newly planted seed
That hammering noise given to the earth
Like a baby’s heartbeat,
The start of something new
The blood running down my savior’s body
Like a mother running to save her child from destruction
As it sinks down to the ground
It gets absorbed into my seed
Like water with his love Given to me like Sunlight
I am nourished
Those 3 days have Given me a stem
In the horizon my stem comes out the ground
As a new sun rises that 3rd day
Given to the stems of the Earth a purpose and HE is risen
But I must be here for something
We must be here for something
Me, You, All of us,
We were Given a purpose
We might just look at ourselves as insignificant seeds
But His body, his love, HIS GLORY
Given to us this grass field
We are the garden to his Kingdom. We never stop blooming.
On rainy days, stormy days, snowy days, he watered us still.
Our stems kept growing.
He would not take those whips for nothing.
If asked Why he loves us so much?
We aren’t Given that answer directly.
But its That Why that is Given to us, our purpose.
That Why, is what is keeping me from ripping myself from my roots.
I am flower
I have imperfections
My leaves fall
My pedals fall
My stem bends
I die one day. For I come from Ashes and to ashes I shall return.
But when the storm passes, My seed is REVIVED
New Life Is Given to me
Why? I may not know.
But I shall continue until He comes again.
With him, I am okay
I am Okay
And I will always be okay
3 Nails + 1 Cross = 4 Given.
