PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Will I ever be one man's Blessing?

Or just another man's lesson?

This a question I am so often faced with becoming the answer to

The later of the two

When it is always the first one I would rather do..



So I close my eyes and I bend my knees

In constant prayer to my Lord and Savior

To please just spare me from such adversities..



Yet   I    still     find      myself       by        myself..



Due to circumstances and daring chances

Of..

Trying once again to close my eyes

And..

Ride my faith by lying in wait

Allowing my love to be guided by patience

As I try with all of my might to maintain and stand by

For life has taught me quite repetitively

That nothing worth having is rewarded without a fight



But the conflict arrives when I have to decide

Is   this    my     battle?

Or simply another malicious plight

Designed by fate to test my time

As my love becomes tainted - yet once again

- And stress invades my mind

I began to feel my spirit retaliate

In a quest for a PEACE it can never seem to find..



My way is so often unclear as to what I should really do

My greatest fear is of moving without God,

And not proclaiming what He has ordained as truth..

As fiercely as my heart beats against the loneliness of my dreams

I wake up praying for the strength and enlightenment

To do ALL of what is expected of me..

Even if it is at the expense of becoming - yet   another   man's   lesson

Instead of that ONE MAN?S Blessing-

That   I   so   long   to   be...
