Creed To A New Beginning

Folder: 
2007-2009 Poems

I trust in my God

This is not the end

But a beginning of a new chapter.



I will do my best to learn and share

All the ‘gifts’ from this.

I will be making mistakes,

I will struggle,

I will not be perfect, never will be.

And I will not be enough

Because people would always ask for more,

Because there are endless demands

In this world.



But this shall help bring out the best

And the worst in me.

I will know better about myself and my God.

Even in impatience and anger,

In loneliness and desperation,

Grace shall be given, and all these

Will bear good fruits.

Good fruits with many potent seeds,

Sown to flourish for eternity.



And I will have the calming stillness

Knowing that I am not waiting,

Trying, crying, hurting, resting,

Thinking, sharing, laughing, smiling,

Caring, loving and living

In vain.



Because I made You smile.



Let me have enough time

And space to work well,

To live healthily and peacefully.

Let no man, noting, intrude

Our ‘quiet place’ for each other.

Should I be shaken in fear,

Overwhelmed with worries and

Distracted by inessentials,

I would be needing Your help.



Be my Guide, my Refuge, my Fortress,

My Healer.

Keep me still…

Let them know that You are my God.
