Sunday Poetry

So I have a confession, it's that I write during sacrament meeting. Poetry, journal entries, lists... I do still pay attention though, most of the time. Anyways, here are a few samples.

Poetry

Like leafs being blown
From nurturing trees,
Like my soul's yearning
as I'm on my knees,
Sometimes this is the life I lead.

The kindness and care
In a warm embrace,
The pang of regret
When it's done in haste,
Nothing to do, but learn from mistakes.

So dry up your tears,
Treasure your smiles,
Bury your fears,
Go an extra mile,
Rise up and follow what you know to be true.

Poetry

I decided I would try to write a chiasm. Here's what I got.

My heart it aches for you,
I worry,
I think,
I pray for you,
I wish you knew your worth,
I wish you knew it's all going to be okay,
I shudder to think how alone you must have felt,
I shudder to think I wasn't there,
I shudder to think of the guilt I would've had for the rest of my life,
But you're still here, and it's all going to be okay.
I will try to be better so that no guilt will haunt me in future years,
I will be there for you whenever you need,
I will make sure you know that you are never alone,
You should know it's all going to be okay,
You should know your worth,
I pray for you,
I think,
I worry,
My heart aches for you.

Last little poem:

Butterflies flying,
Children sleeping,
My hearts desire,
Is yours for keeping.

So there you go. Hope you enjoyed it :)
