From the time you rouse to the time you turn in
I watch you with bated breath in hopefulness
I make advances, bold and demure, to catch your eye
From the crisp air you inhale at night with gladness
To the warm breeze that caresses your skin by day
Through every face that smiles at you, I implore
And every kindness shown to you, I inspire
But you are yet to acknowledge my affection
And it seems you misunderstand my intention
You often claim that you and I are close enough
But you forget there’s a bridge you need to cross
Still, I will not give up on you; still, my love awaits!

I hope that everyone this poem is speaking to understands and hurries across that bridge. Don’t keep such an incomparable love waiting any longer.

Give your life to Jesus today!

Dats so nice..

That's a nice one. At times it's like that in life. You see sb seriously in love with another and the person loved is not aware or at times doesn't show concern at all. I think he who is in love should be bold to make himself known rather than rigmaroling in mind or thought. And again, if you are admired by someone and you don't like the person, perhaps you are in love with another who doesn't recognize your existence, I'll advise that you treat the first person well and the other one wiil come to you.

My initial comment was basically attributed to earthly life and human affairs but looking at it critically, this piece is rich in God's message to sinners whom God continues patiently to remind of His love and waits for them to repent. It's a nice work indeed.

Lovely poem. It's wonderful how God is always waiting for us, no matter how far we go. His loving arms is wide open ready to receive us.

This is awesome...
Chika Udemba
Just as the prodigal son was accepted by his father even after all wrongs; that's the kind of love the Lord gives. I have come to understand that his love surpasses every other... thank you Aunty for sharing this inspirational post.. Indeed i pray to reciprocate God's love for me. May God bless you more!
    Edith Ohaja
    We all need the grace to love God more but we need to first of all establish a relationship with Him by repenting of our sins and accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Saviour. May God's blessings abound to you and your family in Jesus' name.

Like 'yet to acknowledge your affection' and 'misunderstand your intention',I almost misunderstood the intent of the poem.Its an inspiration,well written and messages gotten.
Victoria Nonike
Lol. Frankly, i misunderstood the poem at first but after grasping the meaning, we should endeavour to run to the Lord as quickly as we can. He shouldn't be kept waiting.
Akabuike Chisom
I love this Ma, the poem says it all,repent of your sins our love Jesus would always be there waiting for us to come back to him
Anyadubalu Oluchi Maryrose
Actually, the initial stage, i was struggling to understand the poem clearly, but after I had thoroughly gone through it again it became clear. Lord's love awaits you and I and so we need to repent and go back to Him for He is ever ready to accept us back.
Ozoguejiofor Uche Jacinta
True love is hard to find. A patient one even. We should best recognise it on time and do t he needful.
    Edith Ohaja
    My dear, you probably didn't read the post. Tut tut!
Egbo Rita Somtochukwu
God's love forever awaits for us. Even in our bad ways he is ever ready to receive us. We should forever appreciate his undiluted love for his people...
Dike Gerald Osinachi
The lovely voice is capable of melting a stone heart. The voice is drunk in passion for the object of the love. This is how to know a deep love. Even when it is unreciprocated, it continues yearning sweetly for attention. A lovely one.
Onwusonye promise
Who is the person being talked to here. May be me or him. The voice is very lovely. Uttering unpainted words of affection. The one being addressed will soon say, "here I come". Very nice.
Agwu Tochukwu Frank
This is full of love. "Still I will not give up on you". That's a patient love. True in intention. God's love is deeper than the ocean depth. He calls on us to acknowledge his undying love for us.
Adonu Ifeanyichukwu B
Awwwn this is beautiful. Thank you ma for sharing this beautiful poem with us and may God inspire you the more that you may bless us with more of this.
Queen
True. God's love awaits. Tenderly waiting with open arms even after we derail and make useless Christ death. Its an honour to be shown such love.
iheanyi ugochi elizabeth
Jesus is patiently waiting for that moment when we will say 'God come into my life' like a desperate girl waiting for the boyfriend to propose, and he will never get tired of waiting for that moment because his love endureth forever.
Nwele Euphemia Uzoamaka
OH MY GOD! I had goose pimples all over my body while reading this! Its amazing how you connect/ get inspiration from the word of God. I am inspired. Thank you Ma
Bessong Faith Ada
God's Love is unending, unshakable and incomparable. What we need to do is just to give our lives to Christ, worship Him, and acknowledge Him. God's love is sufficient and has no bound. Nice poem Ma'am.
Anyalewechi Chinaza
Christ incomparable love awaits us.let us stop procrastinating and cross the bridge so as not to keep him waiting.
judith
His love is never failing, great post ma, we just need to fill the spaces and feel his great love.
Amadi Sandra
Excess love of God, he loves us so much.. We just need to try to walk in truth and in spirit.
Idika Uloma Sophia
God's love is the greatest love of all. No matter how far we have gone in sin, He still loves us and ever ready to welcome anyone who is ready to receive Him. Love is patients, longsuffering and finds no faults. This poem is encouraging.
Paschal Odigonma Victoria
God wants us to hear him when he calls us. Most times we Christians don't pay attention to God and His will for us. I pray God strengthens us to cross the bridge and be one with Him as he wants us to.
theophilus anthony blessing
Jesus is standing at the door, please let's open the door for him to come in.
anabude oluchi m.
God love is so encompasing and even in our sins his love shows us the way to the Father. In every circumtance of our life, His love speaks for us and it is the secret behind our success. So in essence, we should endevour to accept Him as our personal Lord and Saviour if we have not done so.
Edward, Favour Stephen
This poem is like a reminder, reminding me that God awaits my response to his genuine love. "...I will not give up on you; still my love awaits you" 😥 shows how merciful God is. Thank you for this reminder piece.
Unigwe Juliet chiemelie
That bridge we need to cross is giving our life to Christ ..if we have a tiny idea of God's love for us and what he does for us everyday we'll forever be indebted to him
Helen.Onugwu
The greatest love one can experience is the love of God...and for those who are contemplating there is no time and tomorrow can be too late
