A Poem I Wrote...

Hey!!! So...I was just fooling around in Microsoft Word today, and I started writing this poem. It is so rough and really amateur, but I thought it kinda fit the theme of this blog, so I wanted to share it. How's everyone's week going? Mine is not so great :( but I think it will get better. Anyway, here is the poem (I don't have a title): 

Oh, who am I, this worthless waif.

This girl, without a quart of faith.

Why can’t I be as brave as Ruth?

Who followed her mother and held fast to truth.

Or why can I not follow Esther?

Who didn’t let fear get the best of her.

Or why cannot I be like Deborah?

Who fought for her people and never gave up.

I am more like the woman at the well.

Who doubts each truth that Jesus tells.

Or I am like Martha, the bickering youth.

Who works all day to hide the truth.

Lord, I must be like Mary, Your faithful follower.

Who did not let Martha or the disciples stop her.

She went ahead and blessed your name

And cleansed Your feet without a bit of shame.

Lord, I must be like Rahab, who, although she had sinned

Hid the Israelite spies among the wheat bins.

Lord, I must be like Miriam, the sister of Moses

Whose faith and trust were like everlasting roses.

Lord, You are the potter and I am the clay.

Shape and mold me every day.

Mold me as the woman in Proverbs 31

Who works hard and is a blessing to everyone.

Mold me as the people in 1 Peter 3:3-4

Who thought about appearance, but cared about character more.

Remind me that “a virtuous woman is a crown”,

But “lying lips are abomination” and they bring others down.

Remind me that You “hath made everything beautiful in Your time”

And that You created the sun that continues to shine.

-Amen-
