![]() Death of Ego...A Poem by Mgfos2
Behold I looked at my contribution with haughty eyes
I told myself apart from me they are all lies I'm so special that I should get the praise I worshiped my image looking at the vigor of my days The potential of my hands who could be like me? I deserved the light on my works and that no one could spite me All the light should be mine, it is my show, my stage All the comments should be about me on twitter, facebook, and myspace When I sin my spirit wants out, yet my pride is all in More and more to boost my ego recklessly fallin The Lord is callin Call, callin my name beckoning me to come back Get back on track and put off the old and be last Forget myself, that if I should look in the mirror I will see those in my rear view Let go of gain, move past the memories of pain that my tears knew Fear of being forgotten yet the Lord remembered me During the time of pride He gladly dismembered me All those times I cried I believed He rendered me Useless, my well has dried but now He has restored me tenderly He broke me down til there was nothing left Til all I had to my name was the certificate of my death Then the promise of my birth the realization of my life The death of my ego, letting the rest the past strife I boast no longer of the shattered dreams Or the work of my hands transformed into tattered things I look at my hands and the signature of His mark I realize I am a work of art, forever near to His heart. © 2011 Mgfos2 |
