"Yet I have this against you: You have forsaken your first love.  Remember the height from which you have fallen!  Repent and do things as you did at first." Revelation 2:4-5




A Valentine Poem for my First Love...

When I was young

I believed in Your love

I had nothing to offer You

I just knew I was Yours

You gave me a heart

To love You in return

To love others as You loved me

And I was happy

When I grew older, others said

You must give Him more

It’s not enough to just believe

You must prove your love

I became dutiful

Loyal committed and sacrificial

I was good and deserving

I was better than most

So why did I feel so bad

Why was I always sad

Where was the joy

Where was the peace

It’s in My love for you, You said

You’re not My slave

You’re My child

Be still

I stopped running ahead

I waited

You picked me up

You carried me

Back to Love

Back to Joy

Back to Peace

Back to the Truth

And it’s sweet

And it’s good

And it’s me

And it’s You

It’s the way

You always

Want it

To be

It’s the way

I know

It always

Can be
