Now I Unlearn

I was reading Galatians 1 today and came up with this, be blessed. 

Now I Unlearn

I look behind me at the life I had lived

I see me trying to please all around me

Oh I tried and fail I did

They were never pleased with me 

At least most of them were not

Though I know I shouldn't them please

Yet I tried for I had so learned to be

Now I realize how shameful it is 

To try to please one who does the same

For most of them that I try to please 

Also seek to please another who is displeased

And so I wonder who we all strive to please

For I myself am not so impressed

By others who try to please me

Simply because I have no measure 

No standards of accepting them 

but that which was handed down to me 

By them who I had tried to please

And rejected me still

But then I read in The Word

Of the only one that I should please

Beaten and Battered by the world 

How do I please my Master still

Though now I know Him I should please

Or maybe I have always know and ignored

Yet I struggle to please my Lord

But now I unlearn 

what the world had painfully taught

Now I unlearn to please them

But also I relearn to please

Though now I please another

He who I please is always pleased

And not the others who are always displeased

And now I unlearn 

To learn to please

My Lord who loves me so

Who accept and not reject me so

Now I unlearn

EXHALE

This is a little poem I wrote for my friend who got married yesterday - Mrs O.  Wishing you a love filled life.  

EXHALE

I took a deep breathe

But now I exhale

Because I found you

You are the one who holds my hands

And stokes all the pain away

You are the love of my life

The rest of my life

You are the only love that matters

You are the one my heart longs for

You have brought joy to me

So much more than I could describe

You are the one my soul longs for

Now the future seems brighter

I know some days and nights will be cold

But have no fear for I have none

I will be there and so will you 

Together we will be

Sharing our warmth

And weathering the storm

I promise you my undying love as you do yours

When the road becomes rough

And the valley deeper

When there is joy, laughter

And trophies too,

I will be there and so will you

And now we exhale….

Because we have found love.
