If you are a poetry lover or reader, then pretty soon, I will be posting previously written poetry that I have jotted down throughout the years. I’ve always loved to write poetry, and I still love to read poetry books of any kind. Poetry is more of a spiritual read for me and I can’t wait to share some of my poems with you.

AN ANSWER:

By:

R. Holland

GOD ARE YOU THERE?

CAN YOU HEAR A QUICK PRAYER?

WHY DO YOU TAKE INNOCENT LIVES EVERYDAY

AND LEAVE THE EVIL AND WICKED TO PLAY?

HOW CAN YOU EVEN ALLOW

HUMANS TO SUFFER

OR DO YOU DOUBT

MAKING THE STRONG WEAK

BY PUTTING THEM THROUGH TESTS? YOU SEEK

FOR THEM TO COME TO YOU IN PRAYER

WITHOUT ANY LIVING PROOF THAT YOU’RE THERE?

“MY CHILD, IF IT’S AN ANSWER THAT YOU SEEK,

THEN YOU YOURSELF ARE VERY WEAK

I DON’T TAKE LIVES BUT ONLY GIVE PEACE

AND MY CHILDREN ARE STRONG

BUT YOU MAKE YOURSELVES WEAK.

YOU BURDEN YOURSELVES WITH TROUBLES NOT THERE

ALL KNOWING THAT FATHER HIMSELF WILL TAKE CARE

OF THE TRIALS, WHICH ARE ONES THAT YOU HAVE MADE.

ALTHOUGH THE LOVE FOR ME WILL FADE

NO THANK YOU, FATHER FOR LOVE AND TRUTH

THE PRAYERS I HEAR ARE THINGS TO DO.

BUT IF YOU DOUBT ME AND MY LOVE FOR YOU

THEN WHO IS IT THAT YOU’RE TALKING TO?”
