Last week in Class We Were Given this Assignment:
Write a 10-12 line poem on Brokenness.
Writing and then reading this poem in front of the class
was really tough but also really good for me.
“I’m not a poet. I’m not creative!” – my mind screamed.
As promised in my last blog –
I would like to take another risk and post my poem on the Web.
So here it goes:
Broken men all around
The trials of life have beat them down.
Do I have what it takes? They want to know
Everything in life has told them no.
The longing to be Fathered. The ache to be loved.
A yearning for adventure. A call from above.
Society has told them to soldier on.
To shove feelings down and get beyond.
I see their brokenness inside of me.
I also know a Savior that has set me free.
