Inside my mind you stay
months lost alone apart
each attempt killed me
no way out of my horror.Your past another one
you have a beautiful mind
but no one could save
your childhood’s end.Days between suicide
attempts to keep you
darkness closes thought
you are so loved & wanted.
The Permanent Cross ✝️
His “Old Rugged Cross”
is etched in stone.It always stands tall,
Although sometimes alone.It’s higher than
The highest mountain of pain.Will live…Will survive
The people’s disdain.My “Old Rugged Cross
Is etched in stone.Only He can save me.
Only He alone.That “Old Rugged Cross”

I want to see Calvary more clearly again, Oh Lord.
I want the mist around the tree
To be burned away by your great light.
I want to see your Face wholly again, Lord.

The Appeal Continued 💔
As selfish as my heart is, Oh Lord,
And as selfish as my heart
is purported to be by others,
I’m pouring it out to you.
Please deliver me from this tyranny.
Remember when I wrote for you
in Community College as an act of pure worship,
as a gift to You from my heart to yours
unfettered by guilt and shame
when I…Read MoreA Writer’s Meditation on Wagering

Hey fellow writers and poets. Check out the new Dailywisdomwords global news feed. It’s a really quick and easy way to get your words out there. Preston has outdone himself on this one. I’m excited.
Jesus said, “What do you want me to do for you?” Mark 10:36. Everything, Lord, everything . I want you to do everything for me, Oh Lord. I want all in life that you have to give to someone who loves you.💕
Fear Not Man
It matters not if no man cares for my soul;
For no one cared for David’s soul,
And David made it.Yes, David made it.
The Appeal 💔
I appeal to you, Lord, with my need,
Because you and only you can hear
The sound of my heart’s cry.
Only you know the language of it.Shirley Satterfield wrote a new post
