He’s Got My Back

Away from

You I’ll turn

My foot tracks

 

To free myself

 From your vile attacks

 

I’ll walk away with

Only these rags

On my back

 

Because with

Blessings

From The Lord

There’s nothing

I will lack

 

Right now

It appears

My pot is

Severely cracked

 

But God

Will find

A way

To heal

Even that

 

Because He

Loves me so

He’s got my back

I'm with you on that - we do always have that help...and your poem shows your faith and what you know to be true.

Excellent poem of faith, Dahlink!

Presumably, the writer means that the Lord has her back in his divine enfoldment of love? However, the way she has expressed this is not very good. Unless of course, the writer was trying to say something quite different? The cracked pot in this piece, is probably a metaphor for a broken life. Or, a life which has been damaged by sinful ways? Either way, it is sad that the writer seems to associate childhood with purity and righteousness. In reality of course, these should always be amongst our aims in life. If the writer is trying to praise the purity and innocence of childhood in some way, then good for her! The "vile attacks" mentioned in this poem, could refer to how harmful incidents in life can sometimes seem like an attack? Or, is this intended as a reference to acts of evil from Satan? Thankyou for sharing some thoughts with us! Keep writing, Marie!
