Aidan Clevinger Poems

My nose is bloody, my knuckles, too,
And my jersey's covered in mud.
I don't know who I thought I was kidding,
Trying to be some romantic stud.
...

Anyone can tell me
The things I want to hear.
Anyone can say they care,
Or that they hold me dear.
...

There are so many things I want to say,
So many things to tell you, dear.
But I find that now I just can't say them,
Now now,
...

The darkness was closing in,
The fires lept so high.
But You Lord, lifted me,
You delievered me from the enemy.
...

'Why is it, ' you ask, 'That you're so content?
'What inspires that smile? '
Well, if you want to know, my friend,
Then sit and listen for awhile.

My baby sister lives with my dad and stepmom, and I don't get to see her much. But by God's good grace we stick it through, and I am in love with this little girl. Here's to you, Shelby Kay.

How there, baby girl, how are you?
I hope that you're doing fine.
...

Though all around the devil prowls
And tempts good men to fear.
Though he loudly shrieks and howls
He cannot harm us here.
...

Jesus, Thou were crucified,
And to this world Thou bled and died.
Empower me to do the same,
For the glory of Thy matchless Name.
...

O my Father, great and gentle,
Come and aid me here tonight.
For my sorrows come a-howling,
Chains of loss have bound me tight.
...

Celestial music, softly playing,
Seems to swirl about my head.
And I cry to Thee while praying,
'I'm alive though I was dead! '
