Why don’t they see Who You are?
Eyes closed, they run so far!
Can’t they hear the sands of time?
Ears stopped, convinced they’re just fine
Can’t they smell that Your mercy is new each day?
Their noses held high, arms crossed, with nothing to say
Oh Lord how can they not feel You all around?
Cold and hidden, thinking they cannot be found
Why don’t their mouths water for Your daily bread?
As they refuse to taste and see Your words in red
Anxiety, violence, fear and depression
They ignore it as they go about their newest obsession
My God smell the sweet savor of our praises
Hear loud and clear each one as it raises
Help them to see their sins, their offenses
And I pray for each of them to come to their senses
Amen, lovely poem, deep and moving. 🍃

Our hearts’ cry for the unsaved! We know so many people who don’t know our Lord, and (when we’re not mad at them), our hearts break for them.

The god of this world blinds people so. It’s so heartbreaking to see our loved ones blind-sighted and nonchalant to the times we are living in. It hurts my heart! 😢
Your poem was so moving and so true, Amy! God has gifted you to be able to convey such deep words in poetic form. It was so powerful! All your poems are! 💜💥

Well thank you so much. This one took a few days if going back to it and back to it to get it right. They used to just pour out.
I pray you are well Renee!

That’s the way some poems are. It’s like you get a few words here and there. And then there are some that flow right away.
It is well with my soul. Hope your family and yourself are fairing well. 💜🙏🏼
