My hearts prayer

I guess that it has been a long time since I have done this blogging thing, but a voice just pushed and pushed and pushed for me to continue on this journey of blogging. So, I have had somethings on my heart and mind. I was recently inspired to write  some poetry, and so I just put my mind on paper. Here it is...

I know how to be a good christian

But it seems to me that I don't listen

When I look a round I see all these distractions

I wonder if my witness is killed by my actions

I see the qualities of my brothers and I become so envious

But when I really think about it I start to become so curious

Because I know that isn't the life jesus had for me

I just wish that he would come down, open my eyes so I can see

That my life has more worth

That Jesus loved me even before my birth

I need to be comfortable in my own skin

That no matter the race I would love people as my own "kin"

God, open my eyes

and Teach me the things to change peoples lives

When you're with me you make my happy as though a kid with an ice cream cone

But I sometimes feel that you're not around, and that I'm alone

There are times when my heart feels so hollow

But God you know my heart and that I want to follow

God be with me!

As I yell, that is my plea.
