A few of you may know that I recently started blogging again. Before, when I was living in Seoul, South Korea, where I started blogging, I frequented many popular blogs. One of my favorite blogs was and still is my blogging friend, Don's poetry blog, "Deeper & Deeper-My Poetry Blog." So when I got back to the world of blogging, I figured I'd visit his blog to see how he was doing. Coincidentally, he had been gone from blogging as well. I read his first poem since he'd been back and it was like he'd never left. That piece was right on time! So I commented on it, asking if I could re-post it and he gave me permission to re-post any poem that I'd like and so I did...hence the piece below!
i never would have made it
had i not believed
had i not fallen to my knees
and prayed,
in a position of forced humility
amidst undying decisions of bad choices
and obvious futility,
all that which i quickly admit
only plagued me in the first place,
with a look of sadness upon my face
i desired forgiveness, repentance
my sins are countless, endless
well documented
but certainly not invented
the opposite of what i was created for
i have an ideal of what death has in store
so, i fell to the floor
then prayed and prayed
and prayed even more
i seemingly stayed on bended knees
every night and day, day and night
remaining thankful
to have been chosen
for this particular plight,
when He could have chosen a much different route
He never fails to prove what He is undoubtedly about
so listen,
what i am about to tell you is true,
we are not worthy
we, meaning me and you
although in my heart
i always knew His uplifting spirit
would carry me through,
even when others around me
fell apart, and failed to do
what i know they knew
they should most definitely do
it's true when they speak of
pride being one of the deadly few,
or maybe it's due to a lack of patience
them wanting a blessing to happen yesterday
when it doesn't quite happen that way,
so all i could ever say,
to perhaps help strengthen their faith
patience is a virtue

Thanks, Christoph. I'm appreciated and thankful that you considered enough of my prose to publish it to your blog. Means alot.
I see we've both been away from the blogosphere...life called for me, and I had no choice but to accept what was in store. As I sure the same applied with you.
I love reading and writing and applying certain aspects to my own personal life, and blogging allows this.
Again, Thank You. God Bless.
