Dear God

I call this as my "prayer poem". It's very personal and it means a lot to me. It always reminds me of my faith in God and my relationship with him is everlasting. He is my savior and my redeemer.

Keep me always in your loving arms my Lord,

Embrace me with your love and give me a sword

Vanish my sorrows and all my suffering,

In every challenges that this life may bring.

Never let failures discourage my vision,

Do not let anyone breaks my ambition

Enlighten the roads that I will choose to take,

Lift me up and guide me in choices I make.

Only you that I trust and I love the most,

Show me the way and open the door that's closed

So I can find the answer in every test you give,

And thank you for the miracles you make me believe.

Now and forever, you will live here inside my heart,

Thank you for the blessings, promise we'll not be apart

Oh my Jesus make me humble and keen,

Save me from evil, forgive all my sin.

I'm sorry to say I did not find any easter eggs here. This poem is smoothly written & well-expressed in all the standard ways that worship poems sound to me. I love all that you say here & I agree this is a word portrait of a tight relationship with God & how it can feel & how it helps a person thru life. My problem is that everything is expressed in generalities, so that it sounds like every other message of worship. What makes a poem unique & memorable is when there's something specific that's different from all the others, something vivid & it puts a picture in our minds of how it can be to have God as our friend. What is it about your relationship with God that makes it uniquely YOURS & not someone else's? Instead of saying: he helps me thru challenges . . . SHOW ME a challenge as an example. For me, it would be those years he helped me learn to walk again. Show something convincing, not just a bunch of generalities. That's my take on spiritual writing, but I can also agree that many people like familiarity & this is written in the familiar way that pious people speak (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

I totally understand where you are coming from. I also admit that this piece has a lot of generalities but my intention is to make it general that everyone can say this as a prayer and not just a poem. If I state specific trouble that I have experienced it might be different from others experience so I just kept it relatable and generic at the same time.. Thank you for this review. More power to you.

By the way, the easter egg here is my complete name. Let's see if you can figure it out.. :)

Kevin Delos Santos? That's a clever idea! Maybe I should try writing an acrostic (where the first letter of every line spells something out)!
