Margaret Shaw Poems

I look around me,
And what do I see?
A group of friends,
Who have inspired me,
...

Did you think you could hold me back?
Did you think that I would never pull away?
I guess you thought you would always control my life,
You thought,
...

Down a road at a country church,
I could hear the preacher tellin' us 'bout the good ol' days,
Where the country choirs and good time revivals,
Meant everything to people in town,
...

I watch as your warm eyes fade away,
Your smile is becoming so distant now,
It's like you're a vapor in the wind,
What has happened to us?
...

You are my everything,
You're the one and only, God.

You are the love in my heart,
...

In a translation that cannot be described,
My heart yearns for more,
It is my greatest desire,
My unspoken desire.
...

I've been missing something here,
Needing someone near me,
Why can't I see it's real,
I know I'm missing something here,
...

I look upon my past,
And realize how time has flown so fast,
The pictures I hold in my hand,
Remind me of days that were grand.
...

Love is like a song,
It never ends,
It never loses tone,
We can feel it all around us,
...

When the world is crashing down,
And all hope cannot be found,
Turn to Jesus,
He will show the way,
...
