"Accepting My Gifts from God"
Lord, grant me acceptance to receive with pride
All of the gifts I've held deep inside.
You sent me an angel, a tale to reveal
That these gifts were for me to share
Not let them get stagnant or let them stand still.
"Go forward, My child", You did say
"Put your poems on a page and begin a brand new website
Where all will come and read either morning, noon or into the night."
For You, Lord, I did do all of those things
So I can bring to others all of Your riches and gifts
And everything Your wisdom brings.
Gifts from God are for one and for all
Please never hold them inside, answer the angels call.
All my love and prayers for a brighter tomorrow,
Nancy, 2002
"REVELATION"
I can't believe it, God,
That all i have to do is to
Be truly sorry, to "repent",
To "believe", to "accept",
This wonderous gift--free!
I can't believe
That all my blunders (large and small),
From petty annoyances
That made me wish I had never been...
Or could at least end
This insignificant, painful, life
Could be sweept away in just a moment
From an action of my heart...
That your past is done
Completed on Calvary!.
I can't believe this news!
I thought you were "busy"
With world shattering problems,
With nations and wars,
With hideous crimes.
I can't believe my everyday problems
Would interst you,
Be no bother at all.
Somehow, god, I can't comprehend
The real meaning of Omnipotence.
I can't believe. But, I did anyway;
The way I stepped from the high dive
When I was a child.
And, the joy in my heart is alive!
Never have I known this joy!
You are truly there,
In the center core of my heart;
Bringing life, peace, forgiveness, joy!
When I remember,
Now I see and know,
What I can't beleive
Is that anyone would hesitate!
