Hi. I wrote this poem recently. It's not very good, but I felt like it was worth putting up. It's a Christian poem, and as I said, it's not very good, so please don't judge it too harshly! Maybe a little constructive criticism so I can get better.
I love God,
And when others ask why, I smile and nod,
As I patiently explain,
How God took away my pain.
Even though I did nothing for Him,
He died for me and paid for my sins.
He sacrificed Himself for me,
That’s why I love Him, you see.
Though he lived a perfect life,
He died to empty mine of all its’ strife.
My heart is now free,
So now I will serve God with glee,
Knowing he did that,
Though others cursed at him and spat.
He suffered, and died on a cross,
Just to save all of us who were lost.
Therefore, I will go,
Traveling through both rain and snow,
Spreading the good news,
So that others can choose,
To follow God and obey,
Or allow the Devil to lead them astray.
I will speak out, lacking in shame,
I will tell others of Jesus’ name.
Though I may suffer and face hurt,
I will lower myself to the dirt,
To show all what I’ve got,
Something the others do not.
What they don’t own,
Is the love of God, which I have shown,
Through my actions and words,
To both the popular and the nerds,
To the rich and the poor,
For I know that none of them can take anymore,
Of the pain of this world,
I can see their white flags unfurled.
But I will do what I can,
To show every child, woman, and man,
What God has done for us all,
Everyone, big and small,
To show his love,
The greatest feeling that came from God above.
And I show Him I love Him,
By fighting, though I know the chances are slim,
For the salvation of others,
The children and their mothers,
The men and women, the frail and weak,
As well as the confident and meek,
Even these can be saved,
Though all were depraved,
Thanks to God’s great love for us,
All we have to do is give Him our trust,
And we shall be free,
Of this world’s pain and misery.
Call me a Jesus Freak if you will,
I will only listen, silent and still,
But I will be jumping with Joy on the inside,
Setting all of your insults aside,
For I love God, and that’s all that matters,
And I will never let my resolve be shattered.
Either way, being called a Jesus Freak is but a compliment to me,
It reminds me that I’m set apart and free,
Of this world and it’s pain,
And knowing that, I have no need for shame.
