Be near me my keeper
I ask that each day
You be near me my friend
When all else falls away
Be near me my comforter
When the darkness deepens
Be near me my strength
When my own heart weakens
Be near me my healer
When my wounds are revealed
Be near me my light
With all I've concealed
Be near me provider
When I hunger for more
Be near me forgiver
Who I knew not before
Be near me my judge
When I'm falsely accused
Be near me my acceptance
When I've been refused
Be near me my lover
On the nights I'm alone
Be near me harvester
With all that i've sown
Be near me protector
When the sword I must wield
Be near me my calmer
When the waters need stilled
Be near me my savior
As daily I die
Be near me my king
As I sit by your side
In the past you were there
As I needed you then
I be ever more near me
I ask...to the end
( I just types this up off my phone so I'm sorry if it has bad grammar errors! )

Ok here goes .imma try one
Wisdome i await.
For what ilusive wisdome have we,
That corses change furetivly,
in hearts to frequently lie,
love so constant denied,
as this vanity of mine
Oh Lord!
With labor meditation toiled in vein,
dilutes and fades in silent refreign,
forgetfully yours,
regretfully coarse,
cause for constant sympathetic remorse
as this consiousness crouches in coils
Feed my mind oh God
feed my mind......
restore to me the peace of days long ago
cleanse this vessil of sod, my God
from ignorance....
tempered with a heavy yoke,
longing fot days of yore gone by
I turn to a silent but screaming memory
hidden in heart
fallen apart
so now for wisdom I await

I had written this one back in 2003. Our pastor, at the time, was leaving San Diego and heading back to Mississippi to begin a church back there. We were deeply saddened by the news and the poem that came out of it was inspired by that feeling of loss. I've also used this poem at my own father's funeral and have offered it to grieving loved one's who were grieving the loss of a christian family member or friend. Any of you are also more than welcome to use it as encouragement to someone you may know who is grieving the loss of a christian brother or sister whether it be in death or distance. I've named it "ONE MORE HELLO".
ONE MORE HELLO
Goodbyes can be so difficult to give,
But if it is Christ, in whom we live.
We will find that He lessens their toll,
And helps us keep focus of our ultimate goal.
For if this is the last of you we see,
With joyous hearts, we can watch you leave.
And through the tears we'll surely cry,
That though this may be a final goodbye,
It's in His truth that we will know,
There is forever His promise
Of one more"hello".

[FONT="]River of sin [/FONT]
Hannah Dias
You’re slowly drifting
Into the river of the world
Into the sea of sin
Will I see you again?
I wade into the current
Try to pull you onto shore
Your body is dead weight
I hope it’s not too late
The water is deceiving
Looks shallow to the eye
Inviting you to swim
Will I see you again?
The river of the world
Has pulled you with it
This sick twist of fate
I hope it’s not too late
I toss you life preservers
You eye me in disgust
You’re drowning in your sin
I won’t see you again
Floating in your sick river
Every worldly whish is granted
You realize it’s not that great
But it is too late
Your rotting corpse bobs
In the waves of the hellish sea
Decaying with the rest
Who could have guessed?
This is a poem I wrote, it just suddenly came to me after my aunt suddenly passed away on 12-1-07
An Angel's Message:
I'm in heaven with Jesus you know,
weep not for me I have it made,
I'm so happy, so free, and I have
no more heartache, no more worries,
after all I'm here under Jesus' wing.
I've seen His nail scarred hands,
I've bowed down at His feet,
when I got home He was standing
there with open arms and He
took me in right away.
Did you know that Jesus and I are
with you every step of the way, He protects
you as He always has and I'm just there
to see how things are going with you.
I really wish I could be there to hug you
and say I love you one more time, but honestly
I wish you were here with me even more so.
I know the days are hard, but you just keep
managing to keep your faith, trust in God,
and seek Him more and more. I wish you could
see the streets of gold, the pearly white gates,
and the pillars around the gates.
I know your heart aches so much at times
without me around anymore, but I'm always
in your heart forever and you'll be home with
Jesus, God, and me one of these days.
The Lord knows all about how the world is and He's
disappointed with lots of people and things, and the
decisions they make, but He's also so proud of the
faithful ones like you.
He wants you to know how much He loves you and He
can't wait to hold you in His arms here in the kingdom
of God on that glad reunion day.
Until we all reach that day, I just have one more thing
to say. Everyone here all of your old friends and family,
they all say hello, they love and miss you so. We'll
all be waiting for you when it finally reaches
judgement day.
Now you take care and God bless you always, don't
forget to smile and tell others about the Lord's wonderul
and amazing works and His truly amazing grace.

This one just came to me all of a sudden one day...it doesn't have a title....
The constant flames,
the smoke, the pain,
and burning flesh,
forever inslaved by
the evil and decieving
one known as satan.
Those who are there,
you know they wish
they had listened, they
don't have a second chance,
but you do as long as
God allows you to live.
The demons, their screams,
their cries, their begs, and
their pleas, they do them
not one bit of good for
it's way past to late.
They were convicted, yet
they chose to run instead
of the option to listen. So
now they burn forever more,
instead of enjoying a land
where milk and honey flow,
and that beautiful river oh
how it is so ever glistening.
There's a heaven,
there's a hell,
there's a God,
there's satan,
be wise and listen
to the gospel.
Don't listen to satan
and be taken for a fool,
don't be like those who
are burning, don't make
a huge mistake.
It's up to you,
the streets of gold
in the kingdom of God,
or to be a slave to
satan and burn in the
pits of hell.

[FONT="]Hollow Grave[/FONT]
by Hannah Dias
walking in the rain
tears plummet from my eyes
glad the drizzle masks
the pain I feel inside
resting at a headstone
I tell him all my woes
thankful for his acceptance
I leave him a white rose
walking in a graveyard
feeling like I’m loved
stop to weed a plot
slip off my black gloves
peaceful vibes pulse
my heart is calmed one more
graveyards are ruined
by silly, evil folklore
once a person dies
his soul goes on its way
body stuck inside a coffin
left to rot, decay
I think of all the people
whose graves I walk past
did they go to heaven
or to hell were they cast?
when my candle dies
I know which way I’ll go
living with my Jesus
wrapped in his warm glow.

oh! here is another one i like that i wrote!
[FONT="]Like a rose[/FONT]
Hannah Dias
Like a dying rose
I too expire
Every time you scream
Hurt you do not mean
Like a budding rose
I too bloom
Every time I pray
In my bed I lay
Like a thirsty rose
I too need drink
Burrowing my roots down
Deep into the ground
Like a shedding rose
I too lose my petals
When my secrets are told
I feel naked and cold
Like a starving rose
I too look toward the Son
Holding me in His arms
He shields me from harmGreat poems guys. I love the diverse emotions that each one brings. Goth, your poem about your friend is very good and brings to the surface a concern we all should have for those in our lives. And Stand Up For God, your poem about your aunt leaves me with the joy that awaits those who have placed their trust in Jesus Christ. What a great reunion awaits!! Thanks for sharing.

Wants Me
How alone I feel.
I feel so alone.
I don't feel the presence of a loving spirit.
So alone I feel.
I don't feel the caring embrace of someone who cares.
Alone is how I feel.
I had felt love twice but I was mistaken.
The aloneness is what i feel.
In a dark pit I am in with no one to blame but myself.
Thats how alone i am.
I must be a monster for no one to want me.
I must be something so terrible, so ugly, so wretched for no one to want me.
I must have a terrible stench for no one to want me.
My heart grows colder by the day cuz no one wants me.
The pain gets worse and i splinter cuz no one wants me.
I am ignored like a grain of sand in a desert, not even noticed cuz no one wants me.
I cry out with whats left of my heart for someone to want me.
I desire for someone to show how much they want me.
I long to feel the embrace of caring and love cuz they want me.
A light appears before me and a loving voice says He wants me.
He extends His hand and pulls me up cuz He wants me.
He grabs my heart and heals it cuz He wants me.
His light is so bright it blinds me cuz He wants me.
His light fills my eyes and I can finally see cuz He wants me.
I am able to see Him and finally know who He is cuz He wants me.
He is GOD and He says " I have done this because I love you and want you to be here with Me."
God loves us and He wants us.
How alone I feel.
I feel so alone.
I don't feel the presence of a loving spirit.
So alone I feel.
I don't feel the caring embrace of someone who cares.

I started this off just saying general things in a conversation with a friend, after reading many prayer request, hearing lots of stories of things going on in everyone's life, and all that. It wasn't intended to be a poem, but after the first few lines, well, it became one hehe, so here ya go, hopefully it'll bless someone but most of all, bring honor and glory to the Lord!
so many need prayer
so many are hurting
so many are weak
so many are being attacked
by the one who needs to realize
he'll never have their soul
he knows that yet he won't back off
God knows they're doing something right
everything we say and do, it's done in His sight
Rebuking satan is the strongest weapon
calling upon the name of the Lord
we have to stand fast, strong, and firm,
ready to take and pass this test
this test, of life, this test of faith,
we have to stand up and make satan back down
to the pits of hell, he shall never drag our souls
we're children of God and we're eternally secure
God help Your children,
we need Thee
we know You hear our cry,
and we call upon Thy name
fully knowing and beliving
only You are worthy,
and only you can make the change
help us Lord, let us withstand this
everything in this time, life has never been
harder for Christians than it is right now
however, it shall get worse, before
Your return
help, help, help, HELP US LORD
in Jesus name! Help us!

Tears of many. Unseen by eyes. Withessed by his spirit. I hear the voiceless cries. The sad sights of life. reaching within. The silent wails for help. Where do I begin? So many times its hard to know, just what I am to do. But with your grace Lord Jesus. I will remain in you. The path ahead, I'll not see. Nor the job when it is done. But with your Love Lord Jesus, Ill know that Ive begun.
This is mostly stolen... but i was inspired when i stole it.
It's been fifty-four months and five whole days
Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
I can sit wherever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing, I said nothing can take away these blues
Because nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
It's been so lonely without you here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby, where did you go?
I could put my arms around every girl I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me, guess what he told me?
He said boy u better try to have fun, no matter what you do.. but he's a fool
Cuz nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
All the flowers that you planted, mama, in the back yard
All died when you went away
I know that living with you baby was sometimes hard
I'm so willing to give it another try, but it's too late..
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Nothing compares
Nothing compares to you
Yeah...Since you took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since you took your love away
Since you been gone I can do whatever I want
