.:. A Love Story .:.
This was a poem I wrote 5 years ago. I consider this as the most beautiful poem I've written for it was dedicated to Jesus!
A Love Story
Standing still with the sands of time;
In a life with neither faith nor hope;
Death saw me in the face;
Every moment an imaginary grace.
One day, a Man called me;
I don't know why I obeyed.
I walked with Him, he walked with me.
He fed my mouth, he healed my wounds
He cured my ill, he carried my yoke.
Much more, "I love you", he told.
But a fateful day came,
When I betrayed him with a kiss,
And thrice I denied His name.
And above the hill of skulls,
He cried out in anguish;
Cries that should have been mine;
The nails driving into His palm;
The blood flowing from His side;
A sight I could not stand.
In the distance I wept I know I was the reason He died.
Three days I mourned for all was lost
Yet He proved His love was true;
Not only did He die for me.
He came back from the grave for me.
Now a promise I hold in my heart
To love thee all of my lifefor this is all i could do
He was the first to love me
Unto Him my heart will always be
I Love You Jesus
