I may or may not be,
The kind of person that I want to be..
But one thing’s for sure,
I’ll find myself secure
In the arms of the Father who loves me.
In times when it all doesn’t go as planned,
As the time pours out my hand, like sand
All drifting away, but one thing’s for sure,
I’ll find myself secure
With the love of the Father who’s holding my hand.

So many friends they come and go
“Please don’t walk away”
When mistakes are made, can’t be undone
“Please don’t walk away”
When brothers throw you down a pit for a few coins
“Please don’t walk away”
When you don’t meet their expectations
“Please don’t walk away”
“Your Home” – art by tacticianjenro
Borrower, human being, living thing
Life, little, beautiful as spring
Fragile, yet striving to make it through
I wonder if you would mind if I carry you?
Your weight and your struggles, I will make a way,
On my shoulder, for as long as you’d like, you can stay
I’ll be your friend and the answer to it all,
Just trust and hold on, I won’t let you fall.
– Jenro
Love is a personal friend of mine
He’s misunderstood, but he doesn’t mind
He’s pushed to the side, but he’ll never let go
He’ll keep preaching ‘yes!’ in a world screaming ‘no!’
Love has a voice that all his friends know
He speaks of a truth that is set to explode
He speaks of a way no one expects
He speaks of a grace that removes all regrets
Love is a friend who’s always been there
He doesn’t run when the others get scared
He calls me a friend; all my secrets he knows
He stands up for me while the world throws its stones
Little sheep, why do you run?
Chasing after the rising sun
Trying to move so far away
Felt rejected from the fray
Little sheep, did they laugh at you?
Saying, oh young one, you don’t have a clue
You’re left behind and feeling blue
They think they’re all better, wiser than you
Run, you run, as far as you can
You cling to rebellion, flowing tears, they began
Thinking you’ve been nothing but an insolent fool
Going your way, not abiding by rule
Little sheep, why do you run?
Going out the world, to experience the sun
Maybe you’ll find how bright it would shine
And know this route was really the most fine.
Wake up, my fellow sheep, wake up to the sun
Where mellow green pastures await, and much fun
Our shepherd, not but a limited man, you say
Well, I see him right here, giving light to this day.
Blue Moonlight Song – Poem written by Me
She’s playing her guitar, as she sings a different tune
Different from all I know, she is shining as a blue moon
She tells me what she wants, she says, she wants to show the love –
Of a Father to the weary, a Father from up above.
Inspiring each soul, as she graciously sings, and plays her own guitar
An exceptional song, a moonlit song, that’s always not too far
The melodies of love she plays, wearing that bright smile,
Every piece of truth from her, we understand, without guile.
She smiles, she soars and flies to different skies of grey and blue
Staying strong, she won’t go wrong, her heart is serene too,
Yet there are times, as if she fails, and seeks that love as well,
Wanting to receive the care, that same Father has for her.
Amazing! I couldn’t believe that Anthony Baker (author of the blog, The Recovering Legalist) would feature me in one of his posts, and on top of that, his daughter Katie just made one of my poems entitled “Bleeding Heart” into a song! I mean – these are really life’s little big blessings that make me smile and get really thankful about all these things…things that might not seem significant for others, but to me, this is really something big.
You can listen to the song here: Bleeding Heart – by Katie Baker
You can find our conversation about making my poem here on the poem’s comments section: “Take my heart…and save it.”
This song shows a lot about what I’ve been feeling recently and I’ve been desperately crying out to God because I know of the darkness that’s still somehow making its way inside of me. But I am assured that Christ’s light is brighter and in time, I know He’ll be able to restore this bleeding heart that the world has somehow tainted.
Bleeding Heart also means that somehow…portraying false righteousness and not admitting our failures is damaging and wrong. I think we all need a bleeding heart to be made new again. We need to realize are filth before we can be cleansed.
