He Hears You

Merely Seeds 
By: the iHope Poet

Some would say that miracles
come in times of greatest need.
From what I've seen, God plants them
in our lives as merely seeds.
We carry them along with us
without a second thought;
through every walk of life we tread
their nourishment is wrought.

Somewhere along the journey,
as we learn and strive and fall,
there come moments when we realize
that we need a miracle.
Our prayers and pleas will follow,
not a single cry unheard:
Father knows us and He sees us
long before we feel the hurt.
And those tiny seeds he planted
now as sprouts and even trees
come to light as faith demands them -
they fulfill our deepest needs.

So when trials may beset you,
and you're pleading for His aid,
dont forget His loving timing,
how He listened when you prayed.
If you're asked to wait in patience
for His miracles to grow,
you can trust in Father's wisdom
and the blessings He has sown.

Just a Moment in Time

When Mother Prays
By: the iHope Poet

The world stands still -- 

the rolling tides and lofty hills, 
the willows and the singing birds, 
the wind, with it's majestic words, 
all cease to move -- for just a breath. 
to hear the words Her lips will send.

Straight from the heart t'ward heav'n above --
while angels stand around in love.
They carry all that She requests
to Father, who must long to bless.
For Mother is His favorite child
and every one of Her desires
call down blessings from the sky, 
as sung in her sweet lullabies. 

From young to old -- through come and gone 
-- Her prayers continue, dawn to dawn. 
It never falters, Mother's faith; 
and every time She beckons grace,
in comes the light with record speed 
to quickly ease her children's needs. 

That haste is clearer when we see 
how every wave and hill and tree
is hushed and anxious to attend 
when Mother prays -- 
The heavens bend.

Do you believe?

Let Him
By: the iHope Poet

Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
Do you believe that He could heal the sick?
Then let Him heal your crippled efforts, too.

Do you believe in Christ the Lamb?
That He could give the blind man back His sight?
His hands can touch your eyes with vision, too.

Do you believe the Prince of Peace?
Do you recall the deaf He caused to hear?
He'll restore desires, if you choose.

Do you believe the Son of God?
His power rose the fallen from their graves.
Believe that He can bring you new life, too.

Believe in Christ, Emmanuel,
And trust His promises are sure and true.
By that same faith He is my Savior, too.

Being Broken 
By: the iHope Poet 

I am a weak person 
and I break a lot of things
but by far my greatest weakness 
is knowing that I'm broken 
and wishing that I wasn't 

- that wishing just breaks me.

You Deserve the World

From years before... 

Not Big Enough
By: the iHope Poet

I wanted to give you the world.
And I tried.
But my world was too big for you --
You couldn't return the favor.
and I was put on hold.

You deserve all the happiness in the world.
But you won't take mine.

You deserve someone you can give everything to
Before they have the chance to give anything at all.

But you wait for me to give first every time.
You can't even say those three words anymore.

And because I see now
How you just can't have
That kind of love with me,
I'm finally
Letting you go.
