Katelin Taylor Poems

"Father, forgive them! " Christ cried out from the cross
They mocked His name and pierced His side, and yet He loved them, lost
He died for those who hated Him, beginning to the end
Because they need a savior, and He wants to be their friend.

I'd be yours in a second if you'd come around
And I'd wait forever if you made the sound
I'd ask you no questions and tell you no lies
For I see my future when I see your eyes.
...

What if every Christian started doing
All the things our Bible says to do?
Helping others come to know our Savior
And loving all our fellow Christians too?
...

Christ’s blood has freed me from the bondage of sin
And yet I return to its chains once again
Ignoring the debt I could never repay
I add to it fervently, day after day.
...

Suddenly my future looks so close
What happened to Barbies and dress-up clothes?
Just yesterday I was a girl in school
Today I've a job in the great big world.
...

Without you I'll make it, without you survive
Without you I'll always be happy and thrive
Without you, tomorrow will be a good day
Without you is better, I'm sorry to say.
...

I have no muse now. No lover to sing
The anger is gone, and now it's just me
The beautiful train wreck, the fiery dart
The lonely, the healing, the ruin become art.
...

Lord, my heart is broken and I don't know what to do
All I know is that I must keep looking up to You
I fail to understand this. Why's it hurting for so long?
And why is it that good happens to everyone who's wrong?
...

Tell me; are you ready for the backfire?
Are you set to watch your work go down in flames?
Really, did you plan for what is coming
When you tried to slander my good name?
...

My heart stops a little
When I think about you
I smile just a little
When you think of me too
