He's Got My Back
A Poem by
Marie Harrison
A poem of comfort
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!
