this is one of my old ones from last year
You
As the stress and panic of this world
make me lose sight of You
I try to remember what is important.
It is not the 'A' on my report card that will light up my elder years.
It is You
As I scramble to meet the expectations
Others have thrust upon me
I try to remember what it is You want of me.
It is not getting the 'very good' box ticked for todays performance
It is loving You
As I weep over crushed desires
and wish things had gone differently
I try to remember what You said
It is not my judgement that I should follow
It is Yours

- Years ago I begged God for one of the "big gifts" and he granted my request. Now he has told me to share His messages to the world. This is the way He specified so here we are!

Nat,
how your poems light up my day!
Every time I read one of your poems I see apart of you that I honestly never knew existed before. I have always thought that you were just one of the very few people who weren’t affected by life’s tornting ways; this floating figure who was able to just pass it all by. You have indeed taken a risk in placing your poetry here - as it reveals your deepest thoughts. But Nat, I am so glad that you have shared them with the world. They encourage me daily! Thanks so much for spurring me on. I don’t know if I could handle all of this pressure if I did know that you had already been there before me and pressed through.
