I know there are other poets here.let's share some of our works

here.



His Daughter



My daughter I love you so,

You are as a candle glow

In a world that'gone dark

For you are love's spark.



Know that you will find

Someone loving and kind

To help you to be you

With a love oh so true.



Like 'a thief in the night'

He will appear in your light,

Though upon first sight

He turns out just and right. Wm.M

My newest:







Salvation



Sweet Jesus I owe everything to you and to you alone,

You have shown me my home,you are my anchorstone,

You have saved me always when stormy winds have blown,

You have always been my rock,the truest friend I've known,

And why do you think me worthy as a seed you have sown

What can I ever do to earn all the love you've shown

.

I am not a wealthy man but I am very rich by far,

When I walk my journey you're my guiding star

And you know that I am honest in all the things I do,

I have never born false witness,I only say what's true,

You have strengthened my soul before I even knew

Of life's losses with your love to see me through.



You have always had your hand placed within my soul,

You have shown me your light that has made me whole,

I have never know this love that comes from your grace,

Nor have I known compashion that shines from your face,

For I am still a sinner and you are the son of God

I can only meet you after I've slept beneath the sod.



Ch:

Let me know sweet Jesus, let me know beyond my days

Let me know my savior,when I bow down to you in praise,

When my time here is drawing short and coming to a close,

As they carry me away after leading the life I chose,

I pray that I will leave not sorrow for those that I love,

But instead to know the joy that waits for us above.





William M

Home is where the heart is, ~~~~~~ At least, that's what I've heard. ~~ I have one in Heaven, ~~~~~~ It says so in God's Word. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In this earth we suffer loss, ~~~~~~~ We all have (at some time), ~~~~~~~ But Jesus comes to comfort us, ~~~ He's Truthful and so kind. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So remember that the heartaches, ~ This old world does often send, ~~~ Won't hurt or last forever,~~~~~~~~ Jesus always comes to mend.

That's really good Chevy.I started writing romantic poems and sending them to certain ladies whose profiles inspired me in some way but I didn't save them.Several asked if I published any and so on,so I started saving them about 2 weeks ago.Maybe you should too.I joined United World Poets about that time and one of the critiques was quite generous with me.You might want to check it out.God bless.

Humble



Jesus my savior and the light,

Keep me humble in your sight

Allow me to serve where I may,

Until we meet on that day.



With your arms open wide

Welcome me to come inside

Where love and faith n'er hide,

And your love is my guide.



'Ever more to sing your praise,

With our fiery hearts ablaze,

Your holy name will 'er be sung

Evermore from every tongue.
