Faith



I let my gaurd down, for I've taken a great fall.
No one else can make it through the gardens without a thorn.
You won't hurt me, like I've been hurt before.
I have that powerful feeling running through my core.

You've lifted your hand to help me stand tall.
I have tripped over the barriers that kept me safe.
Now I give you my heart to protect it from fate.
All I have is time, and I've grown patient to wait.

You have gathered the touch and given me love.
They wait for me to stumble again, but I know you'll catch me.
I feel safe in your arms, and in you're heart, so I'll let it be.
Faith is cherishing in what I believe.

Yvonne Sensing

I've been writing since I was a kid...I enjoy putting thoughts onto paper it's like clearing out my mind. I'm not saying I'm good, but I try. Still I write, but the thoughts in my head get jumbled and it all comes out wrong. I know what I want to say, I hope it comes out that way. Anyway, I still write maybe to leave a little piece of me behind. Not here to cause trouble or be a hero. I am a kind person with a big heart and I only do what makes me feel good. Poetry happens to make me very happy and joyful. Sharing my most inner thoughts makes me a target it seems, with folks that don't like me. I assure I am not a hater, but I will stand up for myself for what's right and true. This site has made me feel like were all family and here for each other not a place to bicker and fight among us, but to enjoy each others work with respect and love. Please understand I am not here to cause problems, I am here for the same reasons you are. more…
