THIS POET’S PRAYER

THIS POET’S PRAYER

Now I lay me down to sleep

And pray the Lord my laptop to keep…

That I would write

What is right,

Sitting at Jesus’ feet.

–Jonathan Caswell

LIFE GOT INTERESTING

LIFE GOT INTERESTING

(MY own suicide story–J. C.)

At fifteen, thought of suicide,

Talking to myself to decide…

Just didn’t know

When happiness showed,

So promised God I would abide.

–

Things didn’t change overnight

Eventually love came in sight…

My new girlfriend

And I didn’t pretend,

But openly walked in God’s light!

–

Creative people like me

Tend focusing internally…

Those gods and goddesses

Won’t clean up your messes,

Just tighten pers’nal slavery.

–

Through years I’ve come to see

God DOES have purpose for me…

Submit to His will,

Abide in life still

You’ll see your worth, divinely!

–Jonathan Caswell
