Poems

I was going through files on my computer and came across some poems that I had written quite a few years ago, so I thought I would share them. :)

This first one, I think, was my very first time rhyming in a poem.

Praises

Praise God when I am down!

He will keep me strong.

I shall stand firm and not be blown

By the things that are wrong.

Evils will come at me at every angle

But because of His power,

My life they shan't entangle.

He is my strong tower.

Praise God when I am low!

For Your glory is shining

In me so I may show

That You never seize loving!

Praise God in the darkness

He brings the everlasting light

And always brings the joyness.

My Father makes things right.

My Father makes me happy

In a world full of darkness.

Because I love my Daddy,

I'm a light in the blackness.

When I feel like crying

Because of being left here

And feel my passion dying

I know You'll always be there.

This next one I wrote as an assignment (this one was a lot of fun :D).

Psalm of Praise to Our Creator

Every moment of every day

Is there proof of Your existence

Screaming through all that You've made.

We are overwhelmed by Your presence.

As we gaze upon the sunsets,

We see the vibrance of the Painter.

As we incline to the voices of the birds,

We hear the songs of the Composer.

As we dance among the rolling hills,

We notice the shapes of the Molder.

Our uniquenesses are like Your colour scheme

And our voices are a song for you.

Our lives are continuous dances for Your Majesty.

We are clay for Your potter's wheel; ready to be used.
