What Is Love?
« on: February 07, 2006, 03:34:08 PM »

Greetings Fellow Poets,

Brother Mark Cadaret, our newest member of the Kingdom Poets has asked me to challenge you all with a new topic for the Poetic Moments Forum since it is so close to Valentines Day.  I've found it to be a quite interesting topic indeed, as he (Mark) has posed it in the form of a question.  Here it is my fellow poets.

What Is Love?

Would you please, poetically, share with us what the Lord has laid upon your heart.

Peace & Blessings,
Margie

WHAT IS LOVE?


Love
will be there in the midnight hour
When everybody in the whole world is gone

Let me tell you

Love will be there to dry your tears
While you await another new day to dawn

Oh yeah

Love will hold you and squeeze you real tight
He'll assure you that everything is well

My friends

Love will encourage you and lift you up high
He'll give you a powerful . . . Moving testimony to tell

Listen here

Love will kiss all of your pain far away
That the old stinking devil . . . Honey wish would just stay

My God

Love teaches you lessons each and every single day
And all the victories you achieve when you pray

Let me tell you

Love keeps you pressing towards a higher call
And not be complacent where ever you are

Honey chile

Love gives you hope for the impossible
So that you can reach . . . The unreachable star

Don't you know

Love tells you *YES* when the devil says no
He says baby you can do it . . . I know that you can

Listen here

Love reaches down into the lowest valley
Pulls you up and extends you His Hand

Don't forget now

Love is still waiting with His outstretched Arms
For whosoever can . . . And to everyone that will

Hallelujah.....

Love is the only One you can ever depend on
To meet all your needs . . . And your desires fulfill

In His Eternal Love & Service,
God's Handmaiden

WHAT IS LOVE?


LOVE
is knowing that my man is there
Just to minister to all of my needs
LOVE is gazing upon his handsome face
While he follows as the Spirit of God leads

LOVE is trust in a relationship
It's about commitment all the way to the end
LOVE is waiting on my Heavenly Fathers promise
Waiting on *The King* whom He said that He'd send

LOVE goes through trials and the real test of time
LOVE overcomes all obstacles that are thrown in its way
LOVE endures hardships that life sometimes will bring
And forever it always will stay

Oh Yes Love will forever . . . It always will stay!

The Queen

In His Eternal Love & Service,
God's Handmaiden

It's Something About.....
« Reply #3 on: February 07, 2006, 06:37:00 PM »

In the spirit of love, this poem was taken from my second book of love poems, soon to be published entitled *Heart To Heart - The Sequel*

What is love...........

IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT......


It's something about your compassionate eyes
It's something about your voice
It's something about your humbleness
That loving you is not a choice

It's something about your abilities
Maybe it's the rhythm of your rhyme
It's something about your protectiveness
Makes me want to spend . . . With you some time

It's something about your sincerity
Your search for truth beyond the fake
It's something about the pain . . . I always sense
My desire to heal you . . . What ever it takes

It's something about your uniqueness
That puts you above and beyond the rest
It's something about your wisdom
That's constantly tried . . . Put to the test

It's something about your resilience
To overcome and bounce right back
It's something about your faith in God
Regardless of what you sometimes lack

It's something about your thankfulness
To the God we serve above
It's something about your commitment
To cherish the one you sure do love

It's something about your desire
For intimacy coming from your mate
It's something about your hunger for love
On you my dear . . . I just have to wait

It's something about my prayer
To God when I asked Him long ago
I said "Father you know what it is . . . That I need in a man"
And when he finds me . . . Let me know

It's something about the confidence
Inside my heart . . . He always brings
It's something about this anointed Queen
She's come to recognize . . . Her awaited King

In His Eternal Love & Service,
God's Handmaiden

What is love



Love is
Being born in a stable
To dwell among men
Starting of life
GODS infinite plan

Love is
Growing up in the small town
Of Galalee
Living a life
Obscure and care free

Love is
Starting a ministry
Around thirty three
That would impact the world
Even you and me

Love is
Feeding the thousands
With fishes and loaves of bread
Healing the sick
Raising the dead

Love is
Dieing on the cross
On the cruel tree
So others can live
For eternity

Love is
Coming back to life
On the third day
So others may see
And others may say

That true love comes
From up above
In the form of JESUS
Gods only son

Love Is
 


Love is patient, love is kind
Love is not puffed up with pride
Love concerns itself with good
Love makes you act the way you should
 
Love does not recall the pain
True love is not a players game
Love is a game of give and take
As Christ's love for us, for His name's sake
 
Love considers the others needs
And they are held within their heart
Tenderness fills each word they speak
And from loving kindness they do not depart
 
Love forgives, and forgets and forgets the errors
And doesn't recall the fault
It does not harbor resentment
But retains love's tender thoughts
 
It lasts forever in the heart
And is always on the mind
It's a warm, sentimental feeling
And to anothers faults it's blind

My Bouquet To You
« Reply #6 on: February 12, 2006, 04:50:33 PM »

All week long my wife dropped hints about Wal-Mart having a dozen red roses on sale for eleven dollars on Saturday. Today, she mentioned it again. "Oh, I forgot," was my reply. She was disappointed. But on Valentine's Day she will get a bouquet delivered to her work of five different colored roses and a blue flower. And this.....

My Bouquet To You

This red rose is for the blood, sweat and tears
And for your love that has grown over the years

The pink rose is for the gentleness in you
Expressed by your words and the things you do

The white rose a reminder of your heart that is pure
And a love that has been able many storms to endure

A yellow rose for the sunshine you bring
New hope, new starts, eternal Spring

The blended rose a symbol of two hearts becoming one
Its' beauty a testimony of what GOD and love has done

And finally a simple blue flower is a reminder you see
Of how someone with such beauty picked someone like me

What Is Love

 

Love is Valuing the one who’s sharing themselves
with you

 

Love is Appreciating the person who loves, and
cares for you too

 

Love is Longevity  in a relationship that isn’t always
perfect

 

Love is Empathy in relationships that you know
isn’t worth it

 

Love is Navigating your relationship through
the difficult times

 

Love is Trusting  a person because true love is hard
to find

 

Love is Investing your heart, and showing
someone that you care

 

Love is Never  allowing anyone, or anything to
interfere

 

Love is  Empowering  someone to love, and share
in your life

 

And to be your Valentines Day Lover  for the rest
of your life

Is It Love?  How Can YOU Tell?

Is it love?  How can YOU tell?
After the candy has been opened,
After the flowers have been smelled,
After the gifts have been unwrapped,
How can YOU tell?  Is it love?
Oh, well, you see, love is a sacrifice.
You have to give of yourself without thinking twice.
Like giving up one’s life like Jesus did.
You see, HE died for our sins so that
WE ALL might  live!
Love is an ACTION word,            
It’s something you DO and
something you SHOW,
To family and friends and yes, even FOES!
In fact, these are the folk whom God  requires
you to be MORE attentive and,
as a result of your SINCERE efforts,
HE WILL take you HIGHER and
HIGHER
So, in your faith walk with the Lord,
You must ask,
“Is it love?  How can you tell?”
Well, it’s what WE ALL should be LIVING for!

This poem was written about my grandfathers life

Love for GOD causes you


To become faithful
In all that you do
Learning to become
Tried and true

Raising a family
A wife and two kids
Always there
To the end

Watching the girls
Grow up and move away
Always there
Even though sometimes far away

Serving in his church
In what he would do and say
Helping out others
Pointing them to the way

Always willing to listen
Seldom to speak
Filled with GODLY wisdom
Which many would seek

Willing to do
What others would ask
Even though it was
A menial task

Always faithful
To his wife
Even though in her sixties
She lost her sight

Always faithful to her
Till the very end
On him
She could depend

Even though in his late 80s
Near the end
There everyday
Till her life was to end

Always with her
Holding her hand
Till she crossed over Jordon
To the promise land

Depending on GOD
To see him through
Till his life
On earth was completely through

Always faithful
To GOD till the end
Where at the age of one hundred
His life came to an end

He was faithful to GOD
Till his life on earth through
Tried and true
In all he whould do

All That and Then Some

In life we come across so many different people
And at times they seem like the one we are in search of
Yet.....it is only when God's hand teaches the heart
and begins to draw you in that you know this is what
God has intended for you.......

Oh yes you know it is love when you are down
And can't do the basic things for yourself and the
Person that God has sent you steps in and do it for you....
And never ever make you feel bad that they did it for you....

Love is when you long just to see their face even
though you see them every day you still long to see
them each and every day....Love is that time you share
in the car just talking about what ever comes to mind....

True love is watch as another grows and do what you
Can to help them become just what God has called them to be...
For it is in the growing process that your connection become
Stronger with each new step you take together.....

Love is be able to allow God in everthing that he may shower
You and your King with overflowing Love from above.....
Even when people say it won't last love will over shadow
negativity that come your way......

Love is something so special that when you find it you hold on to
with all your heart and soul for it is a true gift from God.

LOVE

Love what a wonderful thing......
It is sun shine when it is raining in your life

Love is so special   
                                                                                                           For it comforts you in your lowest hour

Love is gentle.............

For it a soft touch when you need it

Love is checking...............

Even though you are just a call away you still check to make
sure all is well

Love is giving......

Not just of your money but, giving of yourself, your time

Love is a song......

It is a melody you share just because

Love is washing......

Washing of the clothes say I care enough and I do because
I want to not because I have to.....

Love is waiting.......

I know I can go to work but I will wait here with you because
my choice is to be by your side

Love is forgiveness......

Because no one is perfect and there will be times to foregive or
be foregiven

Love is paying the bills........

Because you care enough to provide all that is needed

Love is truth...........

Caring enough to be honest with one another

Love is knowing...........

What is needed of you and when it is needed

Love is intimate.....

Making love to your KING/Queen not just with your body
but with your heart, mind and soul.....as God ordained

Love is be intimate.........

With out ever taking off your clothes, for the time spent
with God is very intimate........

Love is showing.....

Has Jesus hung bleed and died he showed us all
just what we mean to him....

Just as you show your King/Queen in the little things
you say and do.

Love is so many things yet one thing rings true.....

When you find Love you have found a priceless treasure.

Love Is More
« Reply #12 on: February 25, 2006, 10:32:08 AM »

Love is more than a feeling
Love is a touch that brings healing

Love is more than words you speak
Love is strength when another is weak

Love is more than a trophy to win
Love is courage to reach out again

Love is more than a treasure to keep
Love is a well with waters that are deep

Love is more than all-about-me
Love is able to see you clearly

Love is more than what money buys
Love feels pain and with you cries

Love is more than runaway passion
Love treats you with compassion

Love is more than an investment
Love forgives and doesn't resent

Love is more about you than me
Love turns individuals into we

Love is a gift that you keep by giving
Love is the life we should be living

.....peace.....

And it's significance only my Heavenly Father knows

Designed specifically with you girl in mind

As you unwrap this here present . . .

Don't worry . . . There's no shame in your game

Because I give you this gift . . . As a token from Me
Of My FAITHFULNESS to those whom I love

Ordained, and designed
To be blessed . . . By your Father above

Look at the beauty that's hidden inside

Get closer . . . Get closer . . . I want you to see
Way down deep . . . Where My spirit abides

To enjoy for the rest of your days

Remember and Reflect on My Ways

And what "I" join together . . . Let none put asunder
Girl REJOICE . . . This here blessing will last

Shout the VICTORY all the rest of your days!!!!


In His Eternal Love & Service,
God's Handmaiden
