Winners Announced!

Thank you for all who submitted your poems! The winners are:

Shall I sleep tonight?
Dear Lord, shall I sleep this night?
Shall I slumber, dream my plight?
Father shall I rest tonight?
Relief until thine morning light?
And dost my king bid me adieu?
T’whom I’d run, who’d carry through?
Father you won’t leave me right?
Leave me nor forsake me might?
Always there for me sight keen?
Protecting me within thine mean?
Of course thy hand rolls high and nigh,
Always mindful by and by,
Present when I lack to feel,
Near when I’ve done all but kneel,
Of most enduring grace I know,
Thou wash-ed me of brightest snow,
Cleansed mine seen of troubled times,
Spotless garment mine of thine,
Righteousness what endless prime,
Provided for mine wretched crime,
Never must I doubt thine right,
Lord pry and pull, Lord fix my blight,
And as I lay upon my springs,
Resting in thine peace that brings,
Reassuring comfort soft,
Reposing high mine cozy loft,
I know of truth Lord that I might,
Of your accord, now sleep…this night…

And


Writing a poem can be a struggle for me
Because I'm not sure exactly who I want to be
Poems and such ... well, I find them...very fun
But it makes me really sad when...he doesn't see me as the one.

He let go if it
Two months into our relationship
Sure, I'm real young, and I've got lots of life left.
But still, just remember, the first cut is the deepest

I'm wondering why
I'm spilling my heart out tonight
And it's not even that good, it doesn't flow really right
I don't understand, what my problem is now.
I don't understand how I love him. How?

I don't understand him,
thus, I don't understand myself.
I turn and I toss and I weep and I yelp.
And I think myself lucky that no one could tell.
Because we'd be a part of gossip.
And I'd just hate that now.

Ok, so I'm too young to have a boyfriend and such.
My mom lets me learn the hard ways very much.
I guess now I understand life and all it's small little things.
Now I understand life is not at all what you think.

I mean, I knew that before,
But I know it more now.
And someday I'll find more.
And I'll look back and think, "Wow."

I really did love him.
So much, do I now.
I really did love him.
I'm not really sure how.

But I really did love him.
And I always will too.
In a place in my heart,
He will sit,
In a place in my heart,
He will forever hold true.

And I thank you for listening,
Even if you have nothing else to do.
