Houston Mennonite Church

 

I knew what I was doing

You knew I didn’t

Graciously you didn’t tell

And you loved me just the same

 

You kept me almost five years

You listened and you learned

I didn’t and kept talking

Spewing it all around

 

I needed to go

You blessed me with your tears

You didn’t forget me

I am gone and still you love

 

Ten years later

 

No longer am I who I was

No longer a Christian like you

I listened to you listen to me

You love and you are God’s

The older you get the less you know. Hopefully 20 years later will reveal truths. Patrick

If we don't learn and we don't change then we must think we are already perfect and that is the true tragedy. A thought provoking pen

AN ODE TO WHAT ONCE...NEVER WAS. 'HONESTY' OFTEN IS NOT APPRECIATED, BUT IT CAN NEVER BE DENIED. THANKS FOR SHARING, LOVE AND BLESSINGS, JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Seems like a near tragedy to read this, but it is apparent that you and your former companion have made a necessary separation; shake the dust off, and move on, it seems to say. I feel an unchangeable decision, that is painful but very needed, take place. Almost felt like crying for the sheer knowledge of loses like this. Thanks for the sincerity, Dayvid. Nice piece of realism; the parting between you as the minister, and the church.

A gem ~
This poem feels like a Dayvid essential, entirely honest and exposed, thought-provoking.
