God Knows Poem by Danny Speicher

Speckled stars shimmering, shining above
Scattered like salt grains on an onyx stone
Prior thoughts about future, hope and love
Fade in the stillness of being alone

Shooting stars and wishes made in the night
Prayers to the Creator of that night sky
With sounds of my heart racing at your sight
Mix within, thanking Him for 'you and I'

The moment won't last, time ticks quickly by
Suddenly I know this memory, now
Is one I will remember 'til I die
And this weight begins to rest on my brow

Forgive me for not knowing what to do
God knows I just want to be good to you

Oh, this picturesque celestial scene
How it gives strength, as it teases and taunts,
To pursue unwise avenues in hopes to gleen
One touch, one fraction of what my soul wants

A sudden but gentle let down is had
My mind pumps forth memories from my past
And I'm left afraid that it's all gone bad
Fearful that what seems so good just won't last

How I miss the days, not too long ago
When confidence was standard; hope was free
That is what you deserve, this much I know
Dear, I'm so blessed that you're patient with me

Forgive me for not knowing what to do
God knows I just want to be good to you
