12 – In My Soul Where He Stays

12 – In My Soul Where He Stays

One more to complete thirteen poems others claim I am crazy.

Absolutely right I will never settle in my refusal to be lazy.

So much negativity floats in the word of those who negate.

Now is the time to live purposefully for it’s never too late.

A one stop light town girl picks up a guitar to play

Wondering whether dreams will fall in the steps we lay.

It’s amazing how successful we become when our nerves surrender.

As a writer with words of meaning in my passions I become her defender.

Falling into likeness with a sudden knight who rises in his armor,

I rise to protect those so jerks will no longer be able to harm her.

A gent from twilight sessions could not relax to let go

Because it is no longer my own growth in the pursuit that I sow.

It is a force in relationship with Jesus who brings two together

So nothing in the past or future can break two in any endeavor.

Two become one in the pledge of a life spent worth the words of an exchange.

I might not finish the goal in the lives that together two could change.

I believe that with a common vision for eternity two far better reach than one

As a pursuit to complete the journey both reach the highest in worship for the Son.

I cannot, will not, and refuse to settle for what I know what God has in store.

That belief in faith impels me forward to a friendship so about you I can learn more.

We settle in the stupidity that God never shows or reveals himself to those who follow.

That hopelessness burns a hole in the soul like rotten wood in the silence so hollow.

I cannot imagine my life forever without the one in the hopes of tomorrow.

I try my best so that I fulfill the joys reaching beyond my own self-pity and sorrow.

Even with failure the end will present a glorious celebration of all days

Because the Lord delivered at the surrender of my hands in my soul where He stays.
