Abstract: This Earth Shaking Ground

Captured with thought, I trot I trot along life's merry way.
My heart is longing for direction, my mind is believing this correction -my feet appear to make.
I rake up my hurt feelings and throw them up high, to see which one I can catch falling from the sky. I don't do this often but when I do, I regret it much and so would you.
I try to be cheerful as I am today but, this mask I am yielding to is not allowing MY stay.
MY way. More importantly -the only way...He lives up above and in my heart -He's my one TRUE love.
Some think I'm silly to rely on HIM, but I'd rather do that than not at all. I'm a clumsy one, and I do fall. These bruises and scrapes would be much worse! If I didn't have HIM, I believed I'd be cursed! Oh what a journey this life brings me down, now I lay resting on this earth-shaking ground.

Yes Again...

I pray Lord

Every breath I will choose to glorify Christ with.
Every day will I be more willing to give.
I want to live and serve my Savior.
I am grateful for His love and favor.
Christ picks me up when I fall when I cannot carry on.
He knows my every burden and He gladly takes it from me.
Sometimes I can't breathe in His grace and soak it all up and rest, I'm often put to the test. But it's all for good and all for His glory so that I will all the more boldly share HIS story.
I want to take it all upon me, but my burdens are meant to be given to HE.
HE is the only one who truly understands my pain.
No one else can comprehend the love in his rain.
When it pours down upon me like a flood, all I can do is surrender to the blood.
Christ my Savior, He is a loving God, He's a breath of fresh air, He frees me from despair.
We go about traveling the sod, together we walk enjoying each others company.
It's just Him and me, I love the Lord so much.
And more every day. I just need to trust Him, I'm going to start today.
Help me keep in touch Lord, with you everyday. This is my plea Lord, my greatest prayer I pray, Amen.

I Adore Christ

I am convinced that nothing or no one can separate me from the love of God.
God's love is so high, so wide so measureless.
Not angels no demons no power on earth or Heaven not distance nor danger no trouble no where will ever take me from God's great love.
Not hardship nor hunger no pain or death or sorrow not weakness no failure no broken dream or promise. Forever God's love will remain, and I will never be separated from His love. Neither will you.
Give thanks to God today! He is worthy. The Lord has done so much for me, the least I can do is give God thanks, and praise.
He's a wonderful merciful Savior, Jesus is offering you hope today, Jesus IS that hope! Your heart is hungry, cry out to Jesus...and be fed. Hunger and thirst no more.
God is always faithfully loving us...let's strive daily to faithfully love Him back.
Praise Him today, and thank Him for his amazing love.
The sun can not compare to the glory of God's love...no shadow can hide His presence.
Give Jesus the honor He deserves, today and forever.

God's Love

There' a love inside I can't contain.
It's God above, yes He's to blame for giving me this smile on my face.
Not everyday is perfect, nothing is anyway.
Except this love I can't contain.

It's God's love, It fills me up.
God's love, it's enough -to take away your pain.
And all the emptiness inside.
He can wipe away your shame.
And free you from your night.

It's God's love.
God you reign forever more.
It's what we're searching for.
Help us to adore.
YOU LORD and all your ways.

Take our gray skies away.
Help us to pray.
We wanna' follow you.
Help us to call on you.

You know, praise is what I do.
God's love is my life.
I can't live without Him. For God is life and He is love.
I am forever giving thanks, to THE ONE above.

If He does it for me, He'll do it for you.
You want this love inside you too?
I know you want that emptiness gone.
God's the only one who can fill your heart with song.

It may be deep, but not to deep for God and His' love.
Seek the Father up above.
Jesus Christ...
He's my onlyTRUE love.

There's a love inside I can't contain....

Beauty

Beauty isn't makeup wrapped in a bottle.
Beauty is you, wrapped up in Christ.
Beauty isn't being clothed in the 'latest' brand.
Beauty is being branded by God.

Beauty isn't your Facebook, and all it entails.
Beauty is God's-Book, and it still prevails.
Beauty isn't gay marriage, for all to see.
Beauty is a marriage sacred and Holy, between a man and woman proclaiming God's Glory.

Beauty isn't lust.
Beauty is love.
Beauty isn't lies.
Beauty is truth.

Beauty isn't darkness.
Beauty is light.
Beauty isn't carelessness.
Beauty is compassion.

Beauty isn't rebellion.
Beauty is perseverance.
Beauty isn't Twilight.
Beauty is, "O Holy Night".

Beauty isn't death.
Beauty is life.
Beauty isn't dead.
Beauty is alive.

Beauty is Christ!

Meadow's Mark

The owl sits and waits, and watches.

The birds all take their place.
The forest is blooming with flowers galore.
It's such a beautiful place.

As I walk through the trees, I raise my head up high and I look towards the sun.
With my feet firmly planted I breath in the scenery.
I melt in God's nature, as I bask in the glory of His handiwork.
I feel as if I am floating high above the clouds.

I imagine myself way above the earth, soaring with the angels.
My heart is joyfully beating, and I feel free as an open road.
My mind is clear, and I am here in the midst of God's precious gifts.
I begin to walk further on this dirt path through the trees.

The soil beneath my feet is rich, and warm.
My soul can almost not bare the sight, sounds and smells of this mystery.
As I quiet my Spirit, summer rain begins to fade into the earth around me.
The rain feels delicate and warm as it trickles down my face, I stand in awe.

I find comfort in this stillness.
I raise my hands toward Heaven, and let out a shout.
"I'm Alive" I say.
My cry fell off my lips and slipped into a stream beside me.
There was waves and ripples showing off in the water, they grew and grew.

The little fish were flustered by the sudden shift in their home.
Soon those tiny creatures, went safely back to calm.
I walked on.
Further and further I went, darker and dimmer it got.

I quickly found a dry grassy meadow to escape to nearby.
As I lay dreaming in this soft grassy meadow, the sun politely, is waving goodbye.
I wave back, and cry.
This day is done, I've enjoyed it so much, I am going to miss it for, I'll never get it back.

I reassure myself, "There will still be days like this."
I pray a quick little prayer to my Lord above.
Then, I lay my head down against the earth.
I close my eyes.

I turn off my mind.
I mutter, goodnight world, as I fade in and out of sleep.
I dream of the joys of God's creation, and how it brings me great peace.
I've never felt closer to Jesus.

The night sky fell gently upon me, like a blanket.
I pretended the stars marked the number of journey's I have yet to take.
I sink deeper and deeper into the grassy meadow.
My body's asleep but, my heart is wide awake.

I fall deeper still, now I'm finally dreaming.
Or was it that, all of this was just a marvelous dream?
Sometimes reality is so wonderful that it almost doesn't seem real.
Whether a dream or not...I hope to never wake up, it's just that marvelous.

This meadow...left it's mark.

Sweetly Here

The stars are weary all through the night the mansions are singing the town is so bright it puts my wings to flight when I look in your eyes as the night reflects off of them it's beauty in disguise.

The fireflies jump and swing and dance all around us it's a mystery to me how they've found us it's just me and you here under this tree taking in the beauty of what we can see.

I am glad I am your wife and you are my husband. Now we can dream and dream. I hope we can soar one day and fly just to land on this very stream many years later with these same rings. I know we will our love will never die it's till' death do us part and that's no lie.

I love you so sweetly and I am glad you are here, now lets dance together under the moonlight clear.

Missing Spring

Spring hasn't sprung, I'm stuck in the snow.
I miss the warm breeze and the sun's gentle glow.
I miss the flowers so bright, big and free.
I miss dancing in the wind, just my kite and me.
I miss Spring.

Spring hasn't sprung, I'm stuck in the cold.
I miss camping around a bonfire, hearing stories of old.
I miss rafting down streams and seeing beauty untold.
I miss the sounds of warmth unfold.
I miss Spring.

Spring hasn't sprung, I'm tired of the rain.
I miss drawing hop scotch on a sidewalk lane.
I miss selling top notch lemonade.
I miss sitting by the pool sipping limeade.
I miss spring.

In Christ's Army,

Hang In There!

Your hurting your lost, your crying.
You can't understand the timing.
Why is this happening to you.
Why is this so hard to do.
To go through this life in pain.
You know you have much to gain.
It's hard to keep sane.
In a struggle all the same.
Your tired of playing this game.
You try to juggle life's ups and downs.
With life's obstacles all around.
You wish your smile was sincere.
And your mind was clear.
You want peace and rest.
You don't like being put to the test.
It's for a purpose.
God has a plan.
Don't give up and build your house on the sand.
The storms of life will knock it down.
But, solid rock will stand it's ground.
You want a firm foundation.
Without hesitation.
You'd except restoration.
a new life.
One that will last.
You want a fresh start.
You don't like your past.
God can use your past present and future for his glory.
Allow HIM to work through your story.
May God get all the glory.
through your pain and the challenges you face.
Have hope!
If your a Christian, you've already won the race!
If you're not.
Please know God.
ask HIM into your heart.
Fall safe into the Savior's arms.
There's nothing to fear.
Don't be alarmed.
Draw nearer to Jesus.
He loves you so.
He will save your soul.
Whenever your sincere and ready to be.
He'll make you whole.

God Bless you!

Have hope. A positive attitude goes a long way!
You may not be cured from cancer...for it might not be a part of the plan God has for you. But just because that might be the case -doesn't mean you should be down about life! praise God in the good times and in the bad times! :) Jesus will carry you through the storms of life...trust HIM! I encourage you -even when your hurting, and afraid...trust Jesus...put HIM first above all else...and He will direct your paths. :)

And, if you don't know Jesus as your personal LORD and savior...times are short...get right with God. He loves you and wants a relationship with you. He will make the hard times SO much easier to face! You will still have struggles...but who better to go through those struggles with you than Jesus? If you need prayer or someone to talk to..please leave me a comment below, I would love to hear from you, I want to help! God Bless all of you.

Why The Poet Tree?

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog, The Poet Tree! This is a new blog of mine where I will be sharing TONS of my poems with you! I named this blog The Poet Tree for many reasons. I LOVE to write poetry. I LOVE trees. Bada-Bing-Bada-Boom and there you have it! Okay...so it doesn't make much since. But I thought it was catchy :) Also if you haven't noticed, When you say Poet Tree...it sounds like poetry! And poetry is what this blog is all about!

My poetry talks a lot about hope in the midst of pain and sorrow, joy, and faith!
When I write poetry it usually takes form into somewhat of a story sometimes.
My prayer is that my poetry will shine a glimmer of hope in your heart, and put a spring in your step! (Why do I sound like I'm 90?) Can someone say, "GitterBug"? Rofl. Anyway! (Yes my poetry can be very random too...you've probably noticed how random I can be even now). Enjoy the blog!
