Worthy Strength

I was feeling particularly low when I wrote this poem, yet as the inspirational words for this poem came to me, I found myself growing in confidence and self-worth. And the result was that suddenly, I was Climbing Higher. When I added the next, the two together almost became a conversation between me and my God.

Worthy Strength

You are tough, you are strong,

With me you do belong.

Reach up your hand to me,

I’ll give you strength to see.

Child, thee I’ll always love,

With me you’ll live above.

More worthy than you think,

Do not let yourself sink.

Hold tight to what is right,

You know you have a light.

Shine it for all to see,

As you glorify me.

Though you have all your trials,

Don’t let them cramp your styles.

You’re stronger than you know,

So help your strength to show.

The path help all to see,

And they’ll look up to thee.

Find your light, let it shine,

And child, you will be mine.

Climbing Higher

These feelings are too strong.

Will they ever belong?

They are so out of place,

There just isn’t the space.

So much anger and hate,

I fear it is too late.

Can my life turn around,

Or am I in the ground?

My happiness was gone,

Before my life went on.

I want to change my ways,

And see some better days.

I need the help I get,

I’m not perfected yet.

Turmoil in my life

Prepares me for the strife.

In my challenge I turn,

For God and help, I yearn.

With him I overcome,

My true self I become.

I can bask in His love,

Then live with Him above.

I’ll return to Him there,

And live within His care.
