A little more information....

So I originally made a book of poems as a Mother's Day gift. In the book were many of the poems I post here. For each poem in the book I also put a quote/verse/song that I thought helped convey the meaning of the poem. I'm not really sure if I can post in book format here, so I'm going to add a little excerpt from whatever went with the poem in my book. I have to catch up on all the ones I've already posted though, so here is a list:

I Cry

- "Jesus Wept" - John 11:35

Friend

- "He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart: he gently leads those that have young." - Isaiah 40:11

Compared to What?

- "....and all I ever have to be is what You've made me, any more or less would be a step out of Your plan..." - Amy Grant, All I Ever Have to Be

Body and Soul

- "He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul." - Psalm 23:2-3

Games

- "Jesus said, 'For judgement I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind.'" - John 9:39

Holes in the Wall

- "When the trumpets sounded, the people shouted, and at the sound of the trumpet, when the people gave a loud shout, the wall collapsed; so every man charged straight in, and took the city." - Joshua 6:20

Face to Face

- "He said to them, 'When you pray, say: Father, hallowed be Your name, Your kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins, for we also forgive everyone who sins against us. And lead us not into temptation.'" - Luke 11:2-4

Patterns of Intimacy

- "I've come to love the way You cover me with who You are." - Steve Fee, Here I am for You

Some of them don't have quotes to go with them yet. The book is always a work in progress. I also have colorful backgrounds for all the poems in the book. It might be a while before I can post the full picture...I have to save money to get photoshop for my mac.
