Look Around See What You Have Missed

Look Around See What You Have Missed

A Poem by Jerry Doran

I really hope my sins are forgiven.
I really hope one day I get to heaven.
Because I want to see gods face.
And if it takes to the end of my days, then that's what it takes.
Alone in this empty room my heart breaks.
I sit in silence and listen to the sounds this old house makes.
Each one is its own self, nothing is fake.
Just like my own body testiment of its use and age.
I hope I'm forgiven for my sins before it's too late.
Because I really want to see gods face.
You never know when it's your time to taste fate.
And I'd wait forever for god sake.
But if god is the creator of all.
Then isn't he the one that made the trees so strong and tall.
And isn't he the one that made their leaves explode with colorful beauty in the fall.
If god is the creator of all.
Then isn't he the one that made the flowing fields and endless oceans.
And isn't he the one that made every unique creature, large and small.
He is in every stick and every stone.
His beauty is in every flower grown.
His strength is in the marrow of our resilient human bones.
I dont need a special building to show my love.
And I dont have to sit forever dreaming of one day seeing god above.
I open my eyes and see gods face.
He is alive in all the beauty of the world.
He is in every step we take.

"His strength is in the marrow of our resilient human bones."

there were so many lines here that i adored. i love your mindset, i love this kind of awareness of the beauty around us. :) and yet, you still question - because we will always have our moments will we question.
