This is a poem from one of “my girls” in jail.

“Last”

I lost my house, I lost my car, and I almost lost my life. I lost it all.  I had to fall down on my face to see why it all took Your place.

I was wrong.  I didn’t know, until I saw You were gone.  I’m sorry I put You last.

I am at a stop in my life.  I’ve got to see where to go from here.  Why? …  I’m sorry I put You last.

I’ve got to fix my life.  I can’t do this alone.  I love You too much to lose You.  I won’t turn back.  I will start new.  I will start a new list.  I’m sorry I put you last.

I had to let it all go.  I don’t want or need it in my life.  I will let God love me, and never put Him last again.

He’s first.  He’s best.  He’s on my list… but He’s not last.

Last night in the Bible study at the jail one of the women shared a poem she had written when she was 18 years old with us, and gave me permission to share it on the blog.  Enjoy!

ONE by Desirre

Running in circles
takes us back to the beginning
While finding the straight path
is hard yet forgiving
So once past the
obstacles the body gives the mind
We find ourselves free
to rip off those binds
Because we place them on ourselves
and we need them no more
If we learn how to fly
God will help us to soar.
