Living in poverty- the trapper and family Born high in the mountains of Tennessee With no running water, or electricity. Living in rags that her father found in the woods Was her only salvation, her only goods. They put her in pampers that they had found Dirty and filthy and pulled from the ground. A rock stove and firewood They would eat when they could. He did fishing and trapping just to survive. The closest neighbor w...
Praying hands I had a dream with my lord CHRIST He touched my head , not once but twice. I felt my body jump up in bed I saw the nail holes in his hands that bled. I felt the power of his healing hands He showed it to me so I could understand. With faith in our hearts he will heal And his hands you will feel. I awoke that morning with the spirit inside Those praying hands I had to find. I found a figurine of his hands And...
Can you picture JESUS (09/19/11) Can you picture the blood of JESUS lying on the ground While laying on this cross being nailed and bound The pain that was etched on his face As he prayed for the lord's grace. The nails being driven through his hands and feet Knowing soon that god he would meet. Yet he was forgiving his fellow man For they could not understand. That he was being sent by god above To show his compassion an...
Alone! I cry I'm so alone Surrounded by family Surrounded by friends Yet so alone Thoughts in my head A swirling mess Darkness comes Daylight goes Alone I cry I pray to God He seems not near Maybe it's me I'm not sincere I feel alone Suddenly it happens The music plays Praise Worship The light gets brighter Thoughts still race I chase them away A lightened load An un-burdened heart I feel less alone I have figured it out...
No one believes this story when I tell it, but it’s as true as a black cup of coffee on a winter morning. I’m used to weird looks and I know what they’re thinking, but it doesn’t matter to me, although, I’m not sure what I’d say if somebody told me they were personal friends with God.I was fifteen when we first met. I hated school. I was shy. I had a face full of pimples and a crush on Barbara Cushner, who didn’t know I e...
Fly Free Copyright Don Abdul ©2011 ~o~ Eyes cast on the distant horizon Watching the setting of the sun Bottle of vintage left uncorked Two glasses left unfilled I savor the beauty of the day at an end With a sour taste in the mouth of my mind I grieve not, the passing of a loved one Neither do I regret the loss of time wasted I would rather you know my intent though I seek not to cage your beautiful mind No, captivity is...

Intro: A continuation to the previous 'She' poem. : The choices and the destiny of one woman and two men who love, protect, adore and worship her for being an innocent paradox... For the devil will give her heaven And the angel will give her hell And She must choose between the two And look for no other help For the life they thus lead will become a tale And they are the keys to each other Which only the girl can tellFor...
And so it happened one day, that my heart led me astray. I fell into the pools of darkness, and discovered how I missed the light of the day.And there from the darkness I looked above, to see the 'ONE' lost in thought,for he was wondering what to do,with foolish me wandering about.And it was then that he stooped low, to my surprise, saluted me and gave me a bow.Said he never saw something like me, that made him sway betwe...
Faith, it’s a beautiful thing,That little word with the special ring,It’s faith in the things I cannot see,Like knowing my God is always with me,Faith that everything will turn out alright,That my days of darkness will lead into light,Faith that Jesus will take my hand,And guide me through things I don’t understand,That no matter where I roam, far and wide,My God will be there by my side,And until I’m home in Heaven above...
No more tearsThat fall like rainWe have both cried enoughTo go insane.Laughter and joy,The future has toldCan be ours againTo have and to hold.Faith’s in my heart,Love and hope tooNot only for me, But also for you.If you need my strengthIt’s yours for the takingThe decision is difficult, But worth making.Have faith in our love,Trust in it tooBecause the love I needIs found in you.
