Inspirational Poetry

TAKE SOME TIME TO REFLECT

AND YOU WILL EASILY DETECT

THAT THROUGH YOUR DEEPEST DARKEST TIDE

ALL YOUR NEEDS WERE STILL SUPPLIED

MAY NOT HAVE BEEN A PRETTY SIGHT

BUT SOMEHOW YOU GOT THROUGH THE NIGHT

WHEN YOU THOUGHT AND WONDERED WHY

COULD ANYBODY HEAR MY CRY?

DEEP DOWN YOU KNEW THAT HELP WOULD COME

NOW WHERE YOU THINK THAT STRENGTH CAME FROM?

TAKE SOME TIME TO JUST THINK BACK

WHEN IT SEEMED LIKE EVERYTHING WAS LACK

YOU TRIED TO PAY PAUL BY TRYING TO ROB PETER

BUT PETER WAS BROKE AND DIDN’T HAVE NOTHIN EITHER

STACKING UP BILLS AND EMOTIONAL STRAIN

INSIDE YOUR HOME WAS A SHELTER OF RAIN

BUT SOMEHOW YOU KNEW THAT SOMETHING WOULD CHANGE

SO YOU KEPT ON SMILING WHICH WAS PECULIAR AND STRANGE

YOU REFUSED TO LAY DOWN, GIVE UP, OR RETIRE

HOW DID YOU GET THIS SPARK OF DESIRE?

TAKE SOME TIME TO OBSERVE WHERE YOU CAME

HOW DID YOU MAKE IT AND WHO WAS THE BLAME

IS IT BECAUSE YOU WERE STRONGER THAN OTHERS

BECAUSE OF THE GENES OF YOUR FATHER OR MOTHER

WAS IT BECAUSE YOU JUST GOT A BREAK

YOU WERE JUST LUCKY FOR GOOD HEAVEN’S SAKE

NO! I’LL TELL YOU WHO REALLY GETS THE CREDIT

LISTEN UP CLOSE AND DON’T YOU FORGET IT

THE GOD THAT KNOWS THE BEAT OF YOUR HEART

THE GOD THAT HAD YOUR BREATH FROM THE START

THE GOD WHO IS THE AUTHOR OF HOPE

WHO CAN BALANCE YOU WHILE YOU’RE ON A TIGHT-ROPE

THE GOD WHO ALREADY HAS THE BLUE PRINT

WHERE YOU ARE GOING, HE’S ALREADY WENT

THE GOD WHO HAS NO EMOTION CALLED WORRY

HE’S NOT ANXIOUS ABOUT THE END OF YOUR STORY

THE GOD WHO’S PRESENCE IS A REFRESHING BREEZE

BUT AT THE SAME TIME KNOCKS KINGS TO THEIR KNEES

TAKE SOME TIME TO REFLECT AND GIVE THANKS

ON YOUR GRATITUDE LIST, HE’S THE #1 RANK!

HE SHINES ON THE JUST AS WELL AS THE UNJUST

THE ONE’S WHO DON’T HAVE GOD IN THEIR TRUST

BUT CONTINUES TO SHOW HIS LOVINGKINDNESS

EVEN IF WE STILL CONTINUE OUR  BLINDNESS

EVERY TIME I CONTINUE TO REFLECT

THERE’S SO MANY THINGS THAT I CAN DETECT

GIVIN PROPS TO MY GOD WITH THE UTMOST RESPECT

MY COMMUNION WITH GOD, I SHALL NEVER NEGLECT
