I live

To feel the tips of your divine fingers

brush away my tainted past,

To expreince your prepetual embrace

Your forever burning love

Your ever lasting hope.

Your never ending grace

Your a dove mounted on wings of love,

A hope and guide from above

A passionate father with arms open wide,

A friend in which we can confide

I live

To see your face,

Inside the ones I care for

And the ones I've know to hate,

To expirience revival

To envision an uprising

To touch lives.

Searching for survival

I live to be with you

and with all you do

I live to see the view

of a love so true

I live to be filled

with holy fire

I live to build

and aspire

I live to serve

the one and only

I live to observe

And never be lonely

I live for today

and seek tommorow

I live for the soul

wiping out all sorrow

I live for new beginnings

demolishing the past

I live for open doors

that close old ones fast

I live to live

I live to love

I live for the creator

thanks dragonfly!

I do LIKE IT. I always like to see an honest outpouring of emotion in a poem. Your love from above is clearly here for all to see. Well done!

Just one thing that i would like to change if this were mine: There appears to be a typo on line 15. You've left off the "n" in "known". Perhaps this was intentional, but it seemed odd to me when i read it.

Thanks for sharing your love with us.

Aw, sweet! Such perfect words to express something so meaningful. I enjoyed it, and I'm quite touched. It's beautiful! ~ Nixie

thanks nixie! glad it touched you!! thank you ever so much!

gerabel

a sweet and meaningful read! Very nicely done with much love. Thanks for sharing your feelings with the booksie community.

Another little, teeny-weeny, punctuation change you may want to correct. The first word in the second stanza is a contraction and should read, "you're" meaning 'you are'... not your.

This certainly doesn't detract from the emotional blessing of the poem. Well done, my friend!!!

Happy reading and writing.....Jerry

That was nice, very religiously motivated. Although I think for others it can be interpreted in a different way. I liked it though and the rhyming scheme is ingenius; I especially like the way the poem picks up pace as it progresses, or may it's just me. lol!

Keep up the great work!

I am so deeply touched by this display of pure, true feeling! I'm so moved that just going to camp, moved you! Konfusing, but may that fire and movement never die!! hmm maybe you would like my poem. It's a bit stereotypical, but ya never know! Hope you can enjoy my poem as much as I enjoied yours! Simply beautiful!!
