Memoirs of God and Me


Remember



You let me fall, Lord, from a tree
when I was small; too small to see --
remember?
You let me almost drown one day
when I was merely out to play
remember?
You let me share a kiss so sweet
when I was young and not in need
remember?
You let me make my own mistakes
when I unravelled truths from fakes
remember?
Yet, Lord, You let me still survive
with scars and injuries I strive
remember!

please let me drink, Lord, from your well
from Life itself -- let memories swell
remembrance
of figs and wheat and wine and bread;
of olive oil and honey spread
remember:
I am your child formed from your More
from sacred breath you mouthed my core
remember?

It's a lovely little prayer. I too wrote one such poem remembering my experiences of younger years. I must find it and post it one of these days.

a beautiful piece of poetry here - all the times of our lives, the joys, the pains, from ages old when young, to now, there lives the light.
