My 3 Poem Ideas for "The Best Poets and Poems of 2011"
Here is the first idea! Please vote on which one you think I should send and please leave ideas! I want this poem to be perfect since it will be in the libarary of congress!
Here I was
Floating in the wind
Not exactly hovering
Because I had no weight
A simple red leaf
Floating in autumn’s wind
Going with the breeze
I knew I was either dead or dying
But truthfully
I could not care less
It was a happy feeling
Perhaps even joyous
I was slipping away
I accepted the fact
(Not finished)
Here is the second idea
In your eyes of green
I can see a forest
With a swirl of mist
And a trail of dreams
In your eyes of blue
I can see an ocean
Blinking puts the waves in motion
I see the ocean of love grew
In your eyes of brown
I can see a gentle doe
With her peace dancing to and fro
When I look around
In your eyes of red
I can see a burning fire
The same image of a liar
An evil pure bred
I look into His eyes
I see a reflection of
Not what I am right now
But what I will become
Finally, here is the last one.
Someone once asked me,
"How can you believe in something you can't see, touch, hear, taste, or smell?"
I had no words at the time
But now, I say,
"I feel Him in my heart and I feel Him in life.
I see Him in the beauty of earth and space.
I hear Him in the songs the wind sings.
I taste Him in the air I breathe.
I smell Him in the petals of a rose."
Someone once told me,
“You God does exist, he is your personal delusion.”
I protested weakly at the moment
But now I tell her,
“God is alive and well!
He is glorious and merciful!
If He is a delusion,
Over one million people feel the same way!"

As a Christian, we will find struggles and hardships like no other, that is why Jesus died for me, that is why he died for YOU! Often times we find ourselves wondering, is this life worth living? I thought I got a great deal when I signed up for this. But here is a reality check, we did not just sign up, we chose to LIVE! God gives us tests, to prove ourselves to him and so we can grow stronger, that is why our hardships are truly blessings in disguise. So count both your hardships and blessings
