Christen Kuikoua Poems

Day by day
Night by night
I find myself loving you more and more
Every song I sing,
...

O heart! Why must you lay your love so bare?
To share your heart and soul with one so dear?

I thought that I was strong enough
...

Who is like You, O Lord, in all the earth?
He who breathes galaxies as easily as men exhale,
He who paints the sky with colors no eye has named
And yet stoops low to cradle the sparrow in His hand.
...

I demand Justice,
For the world's hatred, a blight,
Justice for the innocent's tragic plight,
Where evil prospers in the night,
...

Here I stand, burdened with remorse,
Each word I write, another solemn promise,
Life's cruelty, they say, but I see my own,
In choices made, in seeds of hate sown.
...

I love you, yes, it's true,
Not because I have to,
But because hating takes too much,
And love is what I choose as such.
...

In you, dear Mother, my pride resides,
No hate could ever in my heart abide.

Nine months within your loving embrace,
...

Few words I pen, for today is your day,
A celebration of you, in every way.
Thrilled and happy, my heart does sing,
For your life has been a blessing in everything.
...

Before the dawn of time's first breath,
Before the light of morning's crest,
There was a Presence, pure and grand,
Who shaped the stars with His own hand.
...

All I wanted was to sing,
Yet singing seemed to run away from me.
But I kept on chasing it,
With every crack, I grew stronger, not ashamed.
...
