    About this ebook

    This collection of poems depicts the author's beliefs, love of nature, and daily struggles. They speak of God's love and our need for a Saviour, his passion, and his mercy for us. Whatever our struggles, there is someone we can always rely on and trust in, and this is the inspiration for these writings. The poems were written to encourage, to ponder his sacrifice, to question, to express feelings of loneliness and unworthiness, and to find that place of belonging.

      THE RESURRECTION IS EVERYTHING, ISN’T it? It’s a metaphor for the whole Christian life. Without it, what’s dead is just dead. Over. Finished. Buried forever. No hope of new life springing forth. But in Jesus, we have the promise that death is not the

      Can’t be hidden inside

      Words

      Words are ugly

      Words are cruel

      Words evoke hatred

      And words can make me cry

      Words are beautiful

      Words hold truth

      Words evoke love

      And words can make me cry

      Take A Journey With Me

      Follow me past the strokes of colour

      Clear a path between the blur of noise

      Around the picket fences

      Through the wandering souls

      Down the darkened corridors

      Up the flight of progress

      Navigate the swamp of sorrows

      Thrust your way across doubt street

      Soar over peaceful valley

      And on ever more higher

      Towards that place that draws you

      The one where you truly belong

      Just follow the voice of your heart’s song

      Abusive Words

      Imagined they were real in every way

      Inside a scar would soon take shape

      The Destroyer, oh he loves to destroy

      Tear you down, rip apart

      All that he would enjoy

      He keeps winning

      Because she keeps believing

      Shut up! Shut up! She screams

      Get behind me you evil thing

      I have something better, greater in me

      And He’s already claimed the victory

      He’s the one I will believe

      But still she

      Beats herself with words everyday

      Imagines they are real in every way

      Each hateful phrase a bruise does make

      Inside a new scar takes shape

      And everyday she calls on Him

      And everyday He lifts her up again
