MY LOVE AWAITS (POEM)

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 poem achingly expresses the incomprehensible love of the Father for all of His children. Thank-you for sharing your gift with us here on your blog. Blessings!

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.
