An attempt at poetry. I wrote this when I was sixteen.
Always running, always searching
Searching for love from the empty hearted
Why do I continue
Continue running from my Only Love?
I’m longing for one love to hold me tight
I’m longing for one love to comfort me in the night
Why do I continue
Continue running from my Only Love?
My heart is too often open for taking
My heart is so tired of always breaking
So why do I continue
Continue running from my Only Love?
You alone will never fail me.
You alone can fill my need.
You alone will always love me
You alone can my True Love be
There You are…
You’re standing with arms open wide
You’re right there - right by my side
So why do I continue
Continue running from my Only Love?
Why do I continue when I know
That You are the only one
Who will never let me go?
That’s why you sent your Son
To me Your love to show.
So I’m running back to You
Begging for help to see me through
‘Till that glory day when You call from above
And I can be forever with my Only Love.
Well said! You bare your soul in your writing and I feel I can see a younger Cara running after her True Love, because she has seen His face and will not accept an imposster.
ReplyDeleteCara, this is beautiful. It's true at 16 or 60, He is our Only Love. God entrusted you with this truth at a young age, because you seek Him. Be glad!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I feel it is a lesson He keeps on teaching me because while it is simple, it is sometimes hard to grasp and it is so easy to run to people instead of Him. But it is true, you're right, at any age: He alone will satisfy!
ReplyDeletei love seeing people, like you, who have amazing talent and skill... and use those gifts to bring glory to God.
