Something's Coming Our Way

Something's Coming Our Way

A poem by MK Douglas                           Copyright © 2011

I have learned a long time ago that I better treat people right
Because God sees everything under the sun all day and all night
Nothing is hid from His eyes even though some may think differently
And when they get what was coming back to them they act innocently
Why is this happening to me? Is what many of them will say
It's their day of reckoning.  It's their time to pay
For all of the bad things they've issued out, it's come back multiplied
And what's really sad is when it hits them hard they act all justified
But let's not laugh or make fun of their time of reaping
Unless we also find ourselves in the same manner of weeping
So let's keep on forgiving those who've done us wrong and treat each other good
Because as long as we're living we'll reap God's blessings like we should.

Love Opened My Eyes

Love Opened My Eyes

A poem by MK Douglas                      Copyright © 2011

Sometimes I flip through the story of my life on a recliner
And I'd skip to when Love restored me from white lies to see finer
There's no way I'd be walking around with such great vision
When my sins had me bound.  I had to make a decision
Only if I had known what I know now than what I did before
But I still thank Love for opening my eyes so I could see more
In my early days I wouldn't dare let the words of Love get near me
I sinned in so many ways, I could care less if I didn't see clearly
It was sadly a bunch of self satisfaction which dug me deep into misery
This lust had me for lunch, so I took action letting Love delete my history
My sins lied to me.  I'm so glad they didn't last
The old me died, you see.  I'm free from my sinful past.

In The Welcome Arms Of Love

In The Welcome Arms Of Love

A poem by MK Douglas                         Copyright © 2011

As I stumbled across the hard wood floor holding my hand to my chest
I mumbled to myself could I actually be the one who is gonna die next
Of a broken heart?
Oh heart of sorrow, don't fail me now.  I have to catch my breath
I wanna be here tomorrow so please help me fight this death
And all of the voices inside of my head telling me that this is my end
I will make the right choice to not lie dead but compellingly love again
This Love I received from the Father, no way will I let it wither away
It's holding me like a gifted potter who keeps molding me out of the clay
I'm glad to be held in the welcome arms of Love instead of lying in a cold dark grave
It had to be hard for those who died from sorrow after being told they had to part ways

I Miss You My Friend

I Miss You My Friend

A poem by MK Douglas                        Copyright © 2011

I miss you my friend.  I pray that you haven't gone away
I'm with you to the end.  I'll stay no matter how long the wait
I hope I didn't offend you.  Maybe it was something stupid I said
My soul your'e not into.  Crazy stuff is running all through my head
I'm starting to blame myself.  I'm the reason why you left
My heart feels the pain I dealt.  I felt like I was bleeding inside and wept
You knew that not everything I say is something that pleases
Especially when it got around to talking about Jesus
But if you never ever want to speak to me again
Just know that it was your soul I was trying to win
I wanted you to know that He's the only possible Way
That you and I will see each other in heaven one day.
